Outbound RecruitCon is where future talent acquisition talks happen today.

In 2022, hireEZ launched Outbound RecruitCon to introduce the world to outbound recruiting. It's the proactive approach that puts recruiters in control of finding the right people at the right time. Today, outbound recruiting has grown tremendously and has been championed by global talent acquisition teams and leaders as the easiest way to make hires.

We're continuing that tradition of introducing the future of recruitment by bringing together TA professionals at every level to share skills, exchange knowledge and showcase innovations that are changing our industry.

Let's join together and bring talent acquisition's future forward.
