My favorite conference is coming to the U.S.!
I first attended my first RecFest in London in 2016. I had been following their first several events online and was blown away by the experience they seemed to be creating - a truly festival-style celebration of recruiting.
When I experienced it live, it exceeded my already sky-high expectations. I’ve been to five RecFests since and couldn’t be more excited that they’re expanding across the pond to Nashville this year.
Now is your chance to join the magic in Nashville September 13-14. Grab your early-bird tickets here.
