Illinois Recruiters Association: Extreme Networking Extravaganza!

Last month, I attended my first session of the Illinois Recruiters Association. The event was well-organized, fun, and a nice way to meet new recruiters. I'm a big believer in the importance of these events to help raise our awareness of regional recruiting challenges and, overall, improve our understanding of how we can improve our talent acquisition approaches.

I like the "Extreme Extravaganza" bit. I have this image in my mind of recruiters slamming Mountain Dew and doing dangerous stunts on skateboards.... hope to see you there, skateboard or not!
