Nitzan Pelman, CEO and Founder of Climb Hire, on the value of networks and leveraging social capital

Nitzan Pelman, CEO and Founder of Climb Hire, joins Alberto Lidji on the Do One Better podcast to talk about the value of networks and leveraging social capital. So often, those who come from the most marginalised backgrounds don’t have the connections and don’t benefit from the social introductions that can prove invaluable in the labour market and in developing a successful career.

In this episode, they explore the innovative programs run by Climb Hire, the social capital mindset they’re embracing, their innovative funding model and the value of their alumni network.

Nitzan Pelman founded Climb Hire in 2019 as a way to generate upward mobility for people earning below livable wage. Climb Hire’s programme model is based on Nitzan’s first-hand research as an Entrepreneur in Residence at LinkedIn, where she studied the powerful role that social networks can play in securing living wage jobs.
