The Recruitment Curry Club: Curry with no sales Chaat

If you’re rather partial to a curry and a conflab after work, you’re not alone. The Recruitment Curry Club gives people working in the recruitment industry a place to chew the fat about life and business or to just check in with other like-minded individuals and make sure everyone is staying sane. Founded by Bobby Banerjee, with support from Barry Cullen, James Whitelock and Nitin Sharma, the Recruitment Curry Club has quickly gained momentum, from an idea in November 2024 to clubs in London, Birmingham and Manchester, and four events in February 2025. Interested in becoming part of the club? Follow the Recruitment Curry Club on LinkedIn to stay updated on upcoming events and announcements. Whether you’re a seasoned recruiter or just starting out in the industry, the club will welcome you – with a curry and a chaat!
