The UK & Ireland Recruitment Conference 2021 was a first-of-its-kind interactive conference, gathering regional and international recruitment consultants and experts from diverse backgrounds and industries.
Recognising that time one’s most valuable and scarce resource, this webinar aimed to give attendees the best selection of DEI practices in only 100 minutes.
Sponsored by Techfynder, and co-hosted with our friends at Swyg, this was a pitch-free, no-nonsense, and practical event which focused on Real practices that move the needle on DEI as its main theme. Speakers and panellists spoke about industry trends and innovative tools, while we also had keynote speakers and virtual discussions on everything related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplaces of tomorrow.
