The Recruitment Agency Expo 2025, held on March 18–19 at ExCeL London, welcomed thousands of recruitment professionals, staffing agency leaders, and HR technology providers for two days of insight, innovation, and invaluable networking. As the UK’s leading event for recruitment professionals, the expo delivered an inspiring showcase of the industry’s latest tools, trends, and talent strategies.
Over 100 leading exhibitors were on hand to demonstrate cutting-edge products and services—from AI-powered sourcing platforms to next-generation CRM systems—designed to help agencies streamline operations and remain competitive in an ever-evolving market.
Attendees had access to more than 50 expert-led seminars and panels, featuring high-profile speakers from LinkedIn, Bullhorn, and some of the UK’s most successful recruitment firms. Topics covered included the impact of artificial intelligence, effective DEI practices, recruitment marketing strategies, and the changing landscape of work in 2025 and beyond.
The Startup Zone proved to be a highlight, showcasing fresh innovations from up-and-coming HR tech disruptors. This area attracted strong interest from agencies seeking forward-thinking solutions to long-standing industry challenges.
In addition to the exhibition floor, attendees made the most of dedicated networking spaces, meeting pods, and informal lounges to connect, collaborate, and spark new business opportunities.
As recruitment agencies continue to adapt to an increasingly tech-driven and talent-scarce market, the Recruitment Agency Expo remains a cornerstone event for driving transformation, fostering partnerships, and shaping what’s next for the industry.
