Recruitment Meetup
A curated in-person meetup for recruitment professionals
The Matchr Recruitment Meetup is an in-person gathering created specifically for recruiters and talent sourcers who are actively working on high-impact hiring challenges.
This is not a generic community event. It is a working session for practitioners who are deep in the craft of recruiting, sourcing, and building scalable hiring operations.
Attendance is free, but registration is subject to approval. Capacity is limited to 60 participants.
Who we are?
Matchr is a global embedded recruitment partner supporting fast-growing companies and enterprises across Europe, the US, and emerging markets.
We help companies build high-performing recruitment functions by combining embedded recruitment teams, strategic advisory, and proven operating models.
Our mission is to elevate the recruiting profession by helping practitioners create measurable business impact through smarter hiring, stronger processes, and better talent systems.
This meetup is part of that mission - building meaningful professional communities where recruitment professionals learn from each other and continuously raise the standard of the craft.
