Will you be one of the lucky 100 at Recruitfest???
Conferences HRMDirect Recruitfest Social Media TwitterPublished July 13, 2009 at 8:49 pm 2 CommentsOk, so you are like – What is Recruitfest?
Recruitfest is an “Unconference” type of Conference – Only 100 recruiting, branding & social media pros will even be able to get a ticket to attend. You may be thinking to yourself, “That’s Dumb” - but it really isn’t. Recruitfest wants everyone to learn in an interactive, dynamic fashion and if you have too large of a group – the interaction is not taking place. No boring powerpoints, no 10 minutes at the end of the session to try to squeeze in a few questions, no wishing you really understood how this could relate to your role, no need to not challenge the presenter….do I really need to explain further?
Recruitfest is a Recruitingblogs.com production and will be sponsored in part by HRMDirect Applicant Tracking System (other sponsors will be announced soon!) For anyone who has been to one – it is an event not to be missed!!!
The conference will be September 23-24 in Toronto, Canada – so make sure you get your passport in line, like yesterday
