We've launched our new worker protection policy, find out more

recruiter roundtable events.

60-minute virtual events to discuss a specific topic with in-house recruiters and
HR professionals from organisations just like yours.

How do they work?

You register your interest. We add you to our WhatsApp channel* where you'll get announcements about new events . If you see an event or subject that's important to you, simply click to sign up. We then send all registrants calendar invites with the link to join us on Zoom.

*Please note: This is a WhatsApp channel. Not a WhatsApp group. You'll receive a maximum of 2 updates per month about these events. Channel members cannot add comments or start discussions, so you are not distracted by other conversations that often happen when you're added to a WhatsApp group.

The event I want to attend is fully booked, what should I do?

We limit the number of participants for each group to ensure everyone gets a chance to take part. Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis. If you can't book on, then you can register for the reserve list and get notified if someone else drops out.

How much does this cost?

All our recruiter roundtable events are free to attend. We only ask that if you register for an event, you let us know if you can't attend so we can free up this space for someone on the reserve list (all our events are fully booked).

Is my background suitable to join these events? Who will be in my roundtable?

We want to ensure these groups add real value to the attendees. So, we vet all registrations to ensure that you are joining a discussion with UK-based experienced in-house recruiters (or HR professionals who recruit).

Most of the groups focus on industry verticals; this ensures that the conversations can be as relevant and valuable as possible. However, as we can't provide an industry-focused group for every interested recruiter, we also have a general group with recruiters from a wide range of industries who get together to share ideas and answer each other's questions.

Is this also a chance to expand my network?

Yes, after each event we send a summary of what was discussed and a list of delegates with LinkedIn profile details. Most of our delegates use these events as a good way to build out their network of recruiters working in similar roles/industries.

Do I have to attend a minimum number of events?

No. We understand the working week of a recruiter can change with short notice, so you are not committing to attending a certain number of events. You only have to let us know if for any reason you can't attend an event you're registered for.

What subjects do you cover?

We cover a wide range of recruitment related subjects. Often subjects are based on surveys of delegates or delegate suggestions based on challenges they are currently facing.

What about confidentiality?

We want all our delegates to feel comfortable sharing their insights. This is why we work to, Chatham House Rules and we also provide a full list of delegates who are attending each event in advance.

A summary of the key talking points is then generated after the meeting and shared with all attendees, so you can look to turn these ideas into action.

Are the sessions recorded?

No, the sessions are live-only events. To benefit from the event, you have to attend and contribute.

What if I'm currently not employed?

We don’t want to exclude experienced recruiters from attending just because they are not currently employed. So, register your interest and sign up for any events and share your past experiences with the group.

Who chairs these events?

The chair of the meeting is a key role to ensure that the meeting runs smoothly and everyone gets a chance to ask questions and share insights.

Most of these events are chaired by Ben Beveridge, who is our Head of Recruitment Success. Ben is a highly experienced recruiter with both in-house and agency-side experience. Unlike most other hireful events, the chair’s role is not to provide our own ideas and opinions; it is to foster a valuable conversation between the group.

Sounds good. How do I sign up?

To register your interest so you can be alerted to new events, just complete this short form.
