RecOps Con 2026

The Recruiting Operations Conference is moving RecOps from the side stage to the main stage by bringing together the doers who understand that behind any exceptional recruiting team is a first-class talent operation. We’re inviting all levels to share their insights and revelations not just those at the top.

Recruiting Technology

Recruiting Technology is booming, and RecOps teams are evaluating more tools than ever to keep their teams competitive. This track is for those looking to understand what the best teams are doing from a tactical standpoint from leveraging AI to enabling recruiters.

Process & Program Design for Scale

We’ve all seen it: your team builds a fantastic program, Initiative, or runs a great project only to have a key person leave and it falls apart or we don’t get the adoption we were expecting. Dive into workshops and discussion on building sustainable programs that are built to scale, aligning headcount with organizational goals and optimizing recruiter resources.

Data Analytics, Insights, & Reporting

Data literacy is crucial to having an individual and team impact, so understanding how to enhance this capability is essential. We’ll explore the tools and emerging technologies revolutionizing how we derive insights for recruiting teams and company leadership. We’ll discuss the big ones: Quality of Hire, Headcount/Capacity planning, and forecasting. Additionally, learn how to drive equity in recruiting by integrating robust metrics, data collection, and comprehensive reporting, ensuring fair and inclusive practices throughout your organization.

Function, Strategy, & Operations

A clear strategy leveraging tactical expertise while maintaining alignment with the recruiting function and the business is key to elevating your Recruiting Operations teams to new heights. Dive into discussions around how to position your team to showcase its indispensable value to the business by defining precise team objectives, establishing effective structures, and prioritizing work efficiently.
