Lisa Jones’s blog about updating your CRM (see below) reminds us that @markseemann will be presenting on the "Future of CRMs" at our June Recruitment Technology Showcase Event.

In addition to this forthcoming event the Directors Only Event (for any recruitment business owner or Director who wants to ensure they have all the elements in place to take their business to the next level) is coming up on 23rd April.

All this talk of events to come has made us trip down memory lane with these photos from the Recruiters Network social evening 5 years ago. A few less wrinkles and grey hairs all round!
