RECRU Awards 2024: Celebrating Our First-Year Winners

The very first RECRU Awards have officially wrapped up! On January 23, 2025, in Bratislava, we gathered over 200 passionate HR and recruiting professionals for a night to remember. We kicked off this inaugural edition with excitement and high hopes—and thanks to the incredible energy of our guests, it exceeded all our expectations.

We celebrated outstanding achievements in recruiting across five key categories within the RECRU client community. As a special highlight, we also recognized the top three LinkedIn recruiters based on the analysis of Data on Steroids. The event was hosted by our Co-Founder Slavko Fulek and the professional presenter Radka Mazáková, who kept the night flowing with engaging conversations, a lively atmosphere, and even a themed quiz that brought out everyone’s competitive spirit.

Now, let’s give a round of applause to the companies and individuals who took home awards in our first year!
