Bill Boorman
🎩 Bill Boorman is the founder of the global #Tru (Recruiting Unconference) series — informal gatherings of HR professionals taking place almost every week across continents. Thanks to them, he stays in direct contact with thousands of recruiters worldwide and has a sharp instinct for what truly works in hiring.
🕶 Known for his unmistakable style — never without a hat, never in a suit — Bill carries a simple yet powerful vision: to make recruitment better for everyone.
📚 He serves as a judge for the UK Candidate Experience Awards and the National Online Recruitment Awards, regularly publishes expert articles, produces white papers, and authored the book The Cult of Work.
🚀 In 2024, he took on the role of Non-Executive Director at Recruitment Smart, leveraging his experience in HR tech and investment. He is a sought-after advisor to talent-tech startups, VC funds, and recruitment teams, helping them with strategy, product development, and the adoption of new tools.
🔥 Industry peers often describe him as “explosive chaos” or even the “king of social recruiting” — fitting nicknames for someone who never settles for average and sees recruitment as a living organism that must constantly evolve.
