We ran our first Recruitment Software showcase event last week. It was a full afternoon with a mix of speaker presentations, speed-pitching by ATS/CRM providers and networking time. Our commitment to our sponsors was 60 attendees and we managed in excess of 80. It was great to see so many recruiters showing an interest in what the market has to offer.
I’m still working through the feedback but we I see over 90% so far having enjoyed the event and some of their comments:
"Great concept, thoroughly enjoyed."
"By attending this event it has saved me weeks worth of research."
"Thanks it gave me a fantastic insight into some brilliant companies around and have already been in conversation with some this morning!"
We’ll be running another similar event next year so will take on board all the feedback before starting work on it!
After the daytime element of the event we moved on to evening drinks (sponsored by Simply Jobs Boards) with a bit of speed networking and a presentation from Kevin Green of the REC. This was the first time we've run an event with the REC – and I look forward to many more!
Thanks to everyone who supported the events and hopefully we’ll see you at either our Directors Only Event on the 20th October or the End of Year Recruitment Conference (we’ve not published the events page for this yet so let me know if you want more information).
