Boston · Sep 16–22, 2026
I'm Ariel Rajmaliuk, CTO of diiirect. I'm in town for UNBOUND and staying the rest of the week. Coffee, a walk along the harbour, or a proper sit-down — whichever you prefer.
Three days belong to the conference and one belongs to the meetup. The rest are yours. Pick a day and I'll come back with two or three times that work.
All times are Boston (EDT). Nothing here is booked until we've agreed on it by email.
diiirect connects talent, recruiters and companies directly — no middle, no markup you can't see. Which of these is you?
The one that's been open five months. Tell me what you've tried and I'll tell you honestly whether we can help, how fast, and what it costs. If we're the wrong answer, I'll say so and point you somewhere better. No deck, no demo unless you ask for one.
Independent recruiters and boutique agencies work their own desk on diiirect — their bench, their submissions, their fee. I want to hear what breaks in your workflow today, because that's the roadmap. Bring complaints; they're more useful than compliments.
Engineers, designers, product and GTM operators: you're why the other two sides show up. Tell me what the search actually feels like from your seat — the ghosting, the take-homes, the salary theatre — and what would have to change for you to trust a platform with it.
The diiirect team is in Boston again, and we'd love to meet the local community. Recruiters, talent, founders, companies and hiring teams — one relaxed after-hours room.
No presentations. No panels. No sales pitches. No agenda. Just the people shaping how Boston hires, in one place, for one evening. Drinks are available at the bar for purchase.
An independent diiirect event. Not affiliated with, sponsored by, or part of UNBOUND.
This goes straight to me — not to a queue, not to a sequence. I read every one and reply from my own inbox, usually within a day.
