Webinar: Global Careers and Trusted Hiring in the Data Center Era
How Verified Talent and EOR Support Help Companies Hire Worldwide?
Date: September 22nd, 2026 at 1:00pm-1:45pm EEST
Duration: 45 minutes
Format: Remote / webinar
Speakers:
- Donna Bernabe, CEO and Founder, sansaino
- Mai Truong, Marketing & Data Analyst, sansaino
About this session
4.8 million cybersecurity roles sit unfilled globally (ISC2, 2025). Finland alone needs 130,000 new IT hires by 2030. The people who could fill them are often invisible to the companies looking for them, stuck on general platforms that treat a data center engineer the same as a copywriter, or hiring processes that can’t verify who they’re actually bringing on.
This session opens with why that gap exists, then walks through how sansaino works: a live look at building a verified profile, how companies post projects and reach talent directly, and how project-based hiring runs on milestones, escrow, and NDA protection where it’s needed. It closes with a short walkthrough of Employer of Record support, for when hiring means employing someone in a country you don’t have an entity in yet.
Who should attend
IT professionals, independent specialists, job seekers, career changers, women in tech and other underrepresented talent, students entering the field, plus HR leaders, project owners, hiring managers, and enterprise teams sourcing specialized technology talent.
What you’ll walk away with
- A clear view of how verified profiles work on sansaino, and why identity verification is mandatory on both sides
- A live demo of posting a project or finding talent as a company, and building a profile as a specialist
- An understanding of when and how Employer of Record support applies to cross-border hires
- Direct Q&A with sansaino’s founding team

EATON: Can Data Centers Be Good Grid Citizens?
Date: 24. September 2026
Time: 10:00 CEST
Duration: 30 minutes, with time for question afterwards
Language: English
Data centers are at the heart of digitalization, AI innovation, and economic growth. As demand for computing power continues to rise, so does the discussion around their impact on power systems, grid capacity, and local communities. But what if data centers could contribute to the electricity system rather than simply consume power?
As part of Nordic Data Center Week, Eaton invites you to a 30-minute webinar exploring how modern data centers can play a more active role in supporting a resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy future. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how data centers can evolve from being large energy consumers to becoming active contributors to grid resilience, renewable integration, and a more sustainable energy future.
The session will conclude with a live chat, giving you the opportunity to engage directly with our experts, ask questions and share your perspectives. Participation: Free and open to everyone. Whether you work in the data center industry, the energy sector, policymaking, or simply have an interest in the future of digital infrastructure and sustainable energy systems, we encourage you to join the conversation.
