In my mind, 2015 has been a pretty great year for recruitment. The industry has seen some brilliant growth, social media and recruitment marketing are on the rise and events have been packed.
I love events, Firefish loves events. But now, we've found ourselves with less than half of 2015 left and as the events calendar is down to its last few pages; here's a look at the seven best recruitment events rounding off this year...
