The Posner's Take on Recfest @ Knebworth, UK

#thePOZpulse 7.22

I hope that everyone's summer is off to a great start! Sorry for the long gap; it's been a crazy couple of months managing day2day w/ NHP Talent Group and building out Probably Nothing Talent (Web3 recruitment) w/ my co-founder, Kevin Logan, Jr.

I took a week off at the start of July and headed over to Barcelona and London with wifey for a bit of work/play. After 3 years, I finally made it to #RecFest at the famous Knebworth fairgrounds over in Stevenage, UK. It was also my first trip to London, which was amazing.

EVERY industry event should?emulate the energy that was?#RecFest22.?To see 4K global folks from the?#recruitment?/TA industry come together to learn, laugh & support each other?in an incredible venue kept me smiling from the moment I walked in till we walked out of the gates of Knebworth!?

I gotta admit, I was a bit nervous about stepping out of my comfort zone and delivering a 20 min keynote on how to break through?the candidate attraction noise with podcasting, but I did it! And I think I did pretty well for my first proper keynote! As my wife said, "I'm not just saying this because I am your # 1 fan, but you really have a talent here that you need to do a lot more of these!"

It was an honor to be invited to speak on these historic grounds, and I am grateful to?Jamie Leonard?and the entire?RL100?&?RecFest | The Recruitment Events Co.?teams. Total professionalism?and expertise in organizing such a well-run event.?Huge thank you to?Hung Lee?&?Christine Ng?for hosting our event tent/stage and welcoming?me with open arms, an incredible introduction and fantastic closing Q&A. It was great to catch up w/ my friends?Lars Schmidt?&?Leo Harrison MBA?too!?

To sum it up, recruiting is a people business, and we need to have a human connection with not just candidates, but with each other. We all have so much to learn and what better way to embody this, than by the abundance of information shared through fun and engaging events like RecFest.

?? I'll take “WTF do they have in common for $500 Alex”

Q: “What is the Royal Institue of London”

A: “What famous hall did both Charles Darwin and Adam Posner present at?”

The night before RecFest, I had the distinct honor of being invited to present at a really cool event, DistruptHR- London. The event was held at the Royal Institue, which apparently is a very famous venue where they hold the annual Christmas lectures and like every famous scientist and politician in British history has spoken at....and me.

The format is cool: 5-minute TedX style talks BUT your slides (you must use) change every 15 seconds automatically, so it's fun. I also had the honor of going first! I spoke about debunking Web2 vs. Web3 recruiting. I will share the full video when it comes out.

HUGE thank you to?Chris Bailey (he/him),?Tim Sackett, SPHR, SCP?&?Bill Banham?for inviting me. And a massive thanks to?Rebecca Hollis?for recommending me.As always, support from my ???Ilona Posner?and great hanging w my dude?Chris O’Connell???! Proper afters! ??
