Why is Rekrygaala organised?
The aim of Rekrygaala is to promote the professionalism and appreciation of recruitment, which is a prerequisite for encounters between job vacancies and talent. Higher quality of recruitment boosts the competitiveness of companies and builds a better working life and future for both individuals and society.
At the gala, we highlight the best success stories in the industry and create a space for professionals to meet. The categories and juries are selected by a group of industry experts.
