RecFest UK & USA

RecFest continues to set the standard for Talent Acquisition events in the UK and is finally venturing across the pond to host the very first RecFest in Nashville, Tennessee.

Speakers at RecFest get to talk to an knowledge-hungry audience, eagerly awaiting to hear the latest TA Trends and Topics. RecFest also hosts its speakers and audience in a relaxed-professional manner, with talks taking place in unique stages built for the festival experience.

For the speakers that wish to be part of the celebration and tell their stories, RecFest is an experience like no other – and we and our attendees want to hear your story. Learn more and apply to speak below.
