About THE RECRUTIING CONFERENCE

Onrec’s new annual US fall event THE RECRUITING CONFERENCE (TRC) is a global summit designed to stimulate beneficial partnerships, discussions, and debate among sourcers, recruiters, HR professionals, and other members of the recruiting industry. The vision of THE RECRUITING CONFERENCE is global and local, as the conference serves as The Hub for the Recruiting Industry – a place where professionals gather and benefit from a high-level exchange of information and ideas.

THE RECRUITING CONFERENCE was formed in response to the need of a single venue that synthesizes the interests and goals of the industry in a way that is productive, challenging, customized, and state of the art – to set a new standard of excellence within the industry. The mission is to provide a world-class venue and the necessary support for global and local thought leaders, recruitment professionals, and sourcing experts to share relevant knowledge for maximum value and high results. Focusing on trends, technologies, best practices, and human resource strategies that lead to successful recruitment, retention, and talent management, THE RECRUITING CONFERENCE aims to energize, engage, and inspire.

Having selected a premier location - InterContinental Hotels Chicago O’Hare - with superior, comprehensive services that provide a cosmopolitan, convenient, and productive experience for attendees – the conference ensures state of the art technologies are available to you while attending THE RECRUITING CONFERENCE.

About The Objectives

“The need for a single venue which synthesizes the interests and goals of the recruiting and HR industry in a way which is productive, challenging, customized, and state of the art is what we are offering our friends in the recruiting and HR Industry - and we are hoping our new brand reflects this. We will continue to offer a great line-up of presenters and “How To” workshops to meet our attendees sourcing and recruiting needs. We are looking forward to presenting some of the best practitioners in the industry in the contemporary setting that the InterContinental Chicago O’Hare Hotel offers; “says Anna Brekka, Vice President of onrec, North America.

Creating The New Brand

THE RECRUITING CONFERENCE engaged brand consultant, Angelika Preston, to develop the new brand including a logo, look, and feel which represents THE RECRUITING CONFERENCE’s new mission, vision, and objectives. Ms Preston advocates that “Brands large or small need attention because their meaning embodies the proposition of the organization. Brand relationships are interactive today. In the service industry, engaging customers and clients in a conversation is a brand imperative that must be immediate, omnipresent and relevant. The brand experience, what the company delivers, is grist for the mill. If it is not talked about it is history.”

Anna Brekka, VP Onrec North America led a team of marketing, communications and media experts working with Angelika to create a brand platform that met the strategy and objectives for THE RECRUITING CONFERENCE. Angelika Preston specializes in the service industry with current and recent clients including Air Canada, Lan Chile, Tarsus Group, Paris Realty, Lumberland Environmental Council and Avianca. Prior to launching Angelika Preston LLC, she held executive positions at three of the top global brand consultant firms where she personally led banking, retail and airline brand programs in Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, South Africa and Australasia. Her in depth knowledge of brand positioning, customer experience, product and social media trends in the service industry is a cumulative result of more than twenty-five years of global experience in aviation, banking and retail branding - for more information on Angelika go here: http://www.therecruitingconference.com/angelika-preston
