Recruiters let hair down – and the evidence makes YouTube!

Last week was a busy one as far as extra-curricular recruitment industry events went – with Amsterdam’s RIDE event and the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo’s) charity ball.

See if you can spot your boss, staff, colleagues or future employers (who knows?!) enjoying what look like two fantastic evenings in the YouTube videos below the ad.

APSCo’s 13th annual charity ball, which this year had a Bollywood theme, was raising money for Childline. APSCo raised £50,000 for the charity through the 500-guest event. See its highlights video below:

Also, see the APSCo website if you want to see a video of chief executive Ann Swain dancing as a cactus – or appearing to do so courtesy of a clever little bit of video magic (and quite frankly why wouldn’t you?), amongst other jollity. 

The Recruitment Industry Dance Event (RIDE), now in its sixth year, is organised by Dutch agency RAVE-cruitment to coincide with the TruAmsterdam recruitment unconference, and attracts over 1,000 recruitment specialists each year. Video below:
