RecOps Hackathon

Kick off RecOpsCon by building alongside fellow operators. Join us the day before the conference for an informal, hands-on hackathon where you'll collaborate on real recruiting operations challenges, prototype workflows, explore AI tools, and share ideas with the community. Bring your laptop, a problem you'd like to solve, and your favorite tools. You'll leave with new connections—and hopefully something you've actually built.
