Forget Cannes, TIFF, or the Sundance Festival, I was at RecruitFest!

Have you ever been to a movie premiere with Geroge Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, and Pierce Brosnan?

Well neither have I.

** Okay, maybe I should have thought about B actors' names :-) **

Nonetheless, when I walked into RecruitFest, I felt awestruck. I was in the presence of thee stars of recruitment, and Jason Davis - our own slouch - was the producer/director who managed to sweep all the oscars with his debut motion picture.

I might be biased - after all, this was held in Toronto; I might not be the best judge - this is the first recruitment (un)conference I attend; yet, I have a feeling that all those who were present would agree me.

JD, when's the next one? You can definitely count me in!

It was great meeting you in Toronto! I agree with your post...it was like the "who's who" of recruiting and we got to hang out with them.

Look forward to the next one!
