How do you organize a recruitment event that sticks?

Organizing recruitment events can feel like planning a wedding: everyone has high expectations, and everything has to be right. How do you make your event inspiring, relevant and above all unforgettable? With our step-by-step plan you will create a recruitment event that participants will talk about for a long time.

1. Know your ideal participants

‍Forwhom are you organizing this event? Put together your attendee profile: who do you want to reach and what do they want to learn? If you know what your target audience lies awake at night about, you can respond to that with your content and speakers.

2. Choose an MC with flair

‍Agood MC is not just someone who talks a program together. It is your team captain. Choose someone who knows the world of recruitment and knows how to captivate participants. They make sure everything runs smoothly and set the right tone.

3. Choose topics that really touch

‍Whatdoes your target audience really need right now? Ask yourself, "What problem do I want to help solve?" Think about topics such as diversity, employer branding or technology in recruitment. Relevance is key.

4. Ask for input via a survey

‍Letparticipants contribute ideas. In a short survey, ask what topics and speakers they find interesting. Add a playful question, such as: "What is your favorite coffee moment during events?" This makes interaction more personal and engagement greater.

5. Create a timetable with balance

‍Yourevent program is like a good Netflix series: it should captivate from start to finish. Plan inspiring keynotes, breakout sessions and plenty of time for networking.

9. Collect feedback

‍Agood event doesn't stop at the drinks. Ask for feedback with a short questionnaire: what did they find valuable, and what could be better? Use this to make your next event even stronger.

10. Put networking front and center
