To be held on Tuesday, May 7 at the Hydro Hotel, the free event aims to provide employers in the shire with invaluable insights into recruitment strategies tailored to regional settings, while also offering a platform for feedback on the challenges faced in hiring within Leeton and its surrounding areas.
"As businesses continue to navigate the complexities of hiring in regional communities, the Leeton Recruitment Summit seeks to address these challenges head-on by fostering dialogue and collaboration among local employers, recruitment experts, and community stakeholders," a statement from the Leeton Business Chamber said.
Objectives of the summit include:
