REC Convenes HR Experts to Share Tips on ‘hiring for Growth’ with Recruiters

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) is bringing together some of the most influential figures in HR to address recruiters at the Talent, Recruitment and Employment Conference (TREC) ‘on June 24th at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

Topics for panel discussions and roundtables during the one-day event include managing top quality talent, staying ahead on compliance, employer branding and innovation in recruitment.

Deputy CEO at CIPD Susannah Clements says: “I’m delighted to be speaking at the Talent Recruitment and Employment conference. Our latest research shows that recruitment intentions are increasing, meaning there will be more competition for talent, bringing recruitment and resourcing challenges for organisations.

Against this backdrop, it is more essential than ever for HR professionals to network and share best practice, so we are able to deliver the competitive advantage our organisations require.”
