Chicago ~ Women in Recruiting - POV: Agency & In-House Recruiters, Built Different and Stronger Together
Join Talent Collective Chicago for an honest conversation between an agency recruiter and an in-house recruiter. We’ll talk about where we see things differently, where we align, and how we can work better together, with a shared focus on getting great talent hired and helping companies build strong teams.
We’ll also explore what the day-to-day actually looks like in each environment — so whether you’re already in recruiting or curious about agency vs. in-house as a career path, you’ll get a clearer view of both.
Recruiters often network within their own circles — this is a chance to expand that across agency and in-house in one room.
