#recruitcamp: Discount for TTRA Members
The Triangle Technical Recruiters Association is pleased to announce a partnership with #recruitcamp. The first event of its kind is bringing in top experts from around the country to talk recruitment and staffing.
#recruitcamp is un-conference in style, informal, and focused on helping each other get better at recruiting, understand social media and new technologies. The event delivers big conference content without the big price tag. This is a great opportunity for networking with professionals like you – committed to putting tactics to your strategy.
The event takes place at the eco-friendly Quintiles world HQ on April 22nd with a pre-event networking reception at Serena on April 21st.
Individual and corporate members of the TTRA (who are already paid members) will receive a special admission price of $25. That’s a $50 discount off the normal registration fee. #recruitcamp is already delivering big-conference content with a small price tag and now it’s an even better value for TTRA members.
If you are not a paid member of the TTRA for 2010, purchase a membership on-line and you will be e-mailed the #recruitcamp discount code. Be sure to attend the TTRA meeting on April 8, where we will have several free passes to #recruitcamp as the door prize!
