About

Introducing a brand-new format within the Recruiting Leaders events calendar: the Recruiting Leaders Exchange (RLX).

RLX is a fully hosted leadership retreat designed exclusively for senior Talent Acquisition decision makers – an environment with no vendor content, no crowded stands, and no wasted time.

Built as a sanctuary for senior TA strategy, RLX gives you space away from the day-to-day to gain strategic clarity, peer insight, and practical takeaways, alongside high-value opportunities to explore solutions efficiently.
