truLeeds #4 - the talent acquisition and recruitment unconference
#truLeeds 4 - Thursday 30th January, 2025
truLeeds is back!
Join your host, Martin Dangerfield for another #truLeeds.
You'll get the opportunity to meet other recruitment and HR professionals, recruitment thought leaders, talent partners, employer brand people and anyone with ideas to share about our industry, making us better at what we do.#truLeeds will give you the opportunity to meet other recruitment and HR professionals, recruitment thought leaders, talent partners, employer brand people and anyone with ideas to share about our industry making us better at what we do.
This is not a conference. Tru is an unconference. An unconventional meeting of minds and innovations for the talent and recruitment community.
There are no speakers, badges or presentations.
Instead, we have tracks (facilitated discussions) and track leaders, who we have invited to initiate and lead a 30-minute discussion around a topic they have expertise or a serious interest in.
Anyone can contribute to the tracks, offer an opinion, ask questions, tell a story or even direct the conversation to a brand-new topic.
Look out for details on each track as we announce them.
Your ticket will also include refreshments and nibbles.
We hope to see you there!
Why should I attend?
These are just some of the topics you will find covered at truLeeds:
Building happier, more engaged teams
Attracting world-class talent
Applying best practice techniques
Making sense of social recruiting and personal brand
Learning how the big and small companies do it really well
...Or perhaps just realising that the challenges you face are the same ones faced by recruiters and HR humans the world over!
