Spice Up Your Connections This International Recruiters Day with The Recruitment Curry Club
This International Recruiters Day, ditch the awkward sales pitches and embrace genuine connection with The Recruitment Curry Club. Founded on the simple yet powerful premise of “Curry with no Sales Chaat,” this innovative club offers a refreshing alternative to traditional networking for professionals across the recruitment landscape.
Imagine a space where recruiters, HR professionals, industry stakeholders, and suppliers can come together, not to push agendas, but to simply “chew the fat” about the realities of their work and life in general. This is the vision of Bobby Banerjee, Barry Cullen, James Whitelock, Nitin Sharma who established The Recruitment Curry Club and have now been joined by Sarah Higgs. Their belief is that everyone in the fast-paced recruitment world needs a sanctuary outside the office to connect with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and ensure they’re staying sane – all while enjoying a delicious curry.
The format is straightforward and inviting. The club sets the date and books a local restaurant in various locations. Members secure their spot with a small deposit, ensuring commitment and a convivial atmosphere. Starting with hubs in London, Birmingham, and Manchester, The Recruitment Curry Club has ambitious plans to expand its reach and establish new clubs in more locations.
