Recruiters always attend conferences for the roles they hire, so in my case, tech conferences. It was refreshing to be in such an event *for recruiters*: RecFest UK 🎪 (largest Talent Acquisition event in the world!) It was cool connecting to so many other recruiters, learning different ways to do things, being introduced to new vendors and products, and yes, getting lots of recruiter swag 😅 The festival vibe was awesome too! Grass, sunshine and food trucks >>> conference rooms The sessions were inspiring, so much about Talent Intelligence, DEI, Tech Hiring, AI, Employer Branding, Sourcing, etc. My two favourite talks were: "Maximising Recruiter Potential: Elevating TA success through Talent Intelligence" by Amazon's own Lucy Scott, and "Putting the Odds in your Favour - Making Predictive Analytics work in Talent Pipelining" by Ian Addison-Smith. Looking forward to sharing the knowledge with my colleagues and putting it all into practice! #recfest #recfestuk #recfest24 #talentacquisition #amazon

RecFest 2024 ✅ What a great way to end my first six weeks at Gearset with my fabulous new team attending RecFest UK How have I never been before? Such an amazing day with the TA community - instead of seeing everyone’s LinkedIn posts I was there to soak up the atmosphere in person! 🎪 ☀️ Lots of fun and games but also lots of insightful talks & food for thought 🧠 Highlights for me were: ⭐️ Gaining a deeper understanding of how us TA folk really add value to a business & how we can prove it ⭐️ A super insightful talk by an inspirational panel on how to consistently connect with diverse talent chaired by Alicia Richardson ⭐️ Learning how to develop a stronger personal brand on LinkedIn with Thomas Woodhams ⭐️ Exploring how we can use Quality of Hire as a metric ⭐️ Getting the inside scoop on why there was such a media storm when John Lewis Partnership published their interview questions (as an ex-Partner this was of interest to me!) ⭐️ Getting to meet Conor Mullan in person! If you have not been before I would really recommend attending next year - the relaxed feel makes it such a cool event & the after party was pretty epic too! 🎶 🪩 💃 #recfestuk2024 #talentacquisition #gearset #foodforthought #networking

RecFest - wow, what a DAY! ❤🎪🥳 It was truly amazing to see so many TA professionals come together in one space to learn from each other and celebrate the work we do in our industry. There were SO many amazing speakers I wish I could've been in 3 places at once! ✨ We saw some amazing work from TUI around anchoring UGC in their employer brand which I LOVED! Thanks Lena and Nathalie for the brilliant talk. I can't stop thinking about how powerful that video is 🤩 🧅 Neil from RedKnows shared some killer advice when it comes to thinking about your EVP in 360 degrees - and that culture, employer brand and recruitment marketing are equal parts of the onion (if you know you know...) ⚡ I absolutely loved hearing about the journey Microsoft has been on with sharing their colleague stories. Helen Durkin you are an absolute powerhouse and they are so lucky to have you! 😍 🤳 Vouch & Marston's PLC shared their approach to attracting Gen Z talent (and also showed us how NOT to do it 😂) ⭐ Not forgetting our very own Jimmy Carr, Neil Armstrong, from Tribepad who thoroughly entertained us all in the afternoon with the Big Fat Recruitment Quiz of the Year 👏 and last but not least... it was SO GOOD to spend the day with my incredible colleagues in the Northern TA team. The most genuine, passionate and talented human beings you'll ever work with. Teams like these don't come along very often 👇💙 The TA community really is something else ❤ Until next time! #RecFest24 RecFest UK Matthew Moxon Adam Nichols Emma West Nicole J. Becca Thomson Kirsty Davison Charlene Wykman Heidi Coffey Marie Fulton (Assoc. CIPD) Sasha Cox Sophie Paylor Melanie Yang Mandy Hensby-Green 🚉💙

Just got back from an amazing time at RecFest UK 2024! 🇬🇧🎪 As part of the Amazon Talent Acquisition team, I was thrilled to join this one-of-a-kind talent acquisition event. It was the ultimate celebration of our industry! ✨ I had the chance to connect with so many talented individuals, share insights into our innovative hiring strategies, and learn about the latest trends shaping the talent landscape. The energy and enthusiasm at RecFest was palpable. I came away inspired by the creativity and forward-thinking approaches on display - from leveraging AI and automation to improving the candidate experience, there was no shortage of exciting ideas and best practices to discuss. A huge thank you to the organizers for putting together such an engaging and informative event!
