Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of African American freedom from slavery in the United States. Each year, the festivities emphasize the education and achievements of African Americans.
Recognition of Juneteenth in 2020 was a new concept for many companies and a first for some employees. It brought attention to a date that is often unremarked and highlighted how much work still needs to be done.
Join Flockjay, ThinkHuman and 15Five on June 17th at 9 AM Pacific / 12 PM Eastern for a conversation that will center on the black experience and unpack how we can hold each other accountable and show up for black employees in June and beyond. Set aside time to learn how you can create space at your organization for Juneteenth and create a DEI roadmap for all cultural observances throughout the year.

Intro to Tech Sales & SDR AMA w/Nisheet & Ami
Date: March 31, 2021
Time: 6:00pm Pacific
Guests: Nisheet Shah, Business Development @ Zoom; Ami Patel, Sales Development @ Rippling
Host: Monique Recoder, Admissions @ Flockjay
Wondering about starting a career in tech sales? How much money can you make? What does the career path look like? What does an SDR actually do? This is the event for you!
You’ll get to hear from two of our alumni who have successfully launched tech sales careers without any prior tech or sales experience.
Nisheet has a background in hospitality and restaurant management. In fact, he and Ami ran a restaurant business together. After a job opportunity fell through he reached out to us about enrolling in the next class. Unfortunately, he had actually missed the application deadline so we had to say no. But Nisheet was so persistent and emphatic that we knew he had the motivation to succeed and let him join class. 4 months after joining Flockjay Nisheet landed a sales role at Zoom.
Ami was able to watch Nisheet’s Flockjay experience unfold in real time. She was constantly amazed by the amount of support that Nisheet received in his journey. When he landed with Zoom, Ami knew it was time to leave her banking job behind and pursue a similar path to upward mobility and opportunity in tech. She joined Flockjay last August and landed a sales role at Rippling.
