This Sunday I’m off to check out the job fair action at Silicon Milkroundabout, at the Old Truman Brewery, near Brick Lane, London. This is where UK tech startup companies aim to hire developers, designers, testers and all sorts of tech types. According to the FAQ, they’re hiring those with experience from 1 to 40 years, so not just those fresh out of uni.

To register to attend, go to http://siliconmilkroundabout.com/

There are events on Saturday 26 May for ‘Product Managers and Designers’ and Sunday 27 May for ‘Technical’ types.

Among those companies attending are:

  • Moo
  • Badoo (also sponsoring free bar and chillout area!)
  • Songkick (also sponsoring free coffee)
  • Mind Candy (also sponsoring free fruit)
  • Shazam
  • 7digital
  • Twitter
  • QuBit
  • CityMapper London
  • ViaGoGo
  • Huddle
  • Yammer
  • And loads, loads more – the full list is at http://siliconmilkroundabout.com/companies

Below is an audio interview with Songkick Founder Pete Smith who also started up Silicon Milkroundabout, well worth a listen if you’re going.
