The New Reality For Recruitment

 

There has never been more pressure on business owners and leaders to innovate and transform traditional operating structures & processes.

 

The UK has seen 36 consecutive months of declining job vacancies, the industry has 30% less people than it did just over a year ago and there is no sign of a material market bounce. Clients that traditionally used businesses are now more capable of recruiting directly, artificial intelligence is here and here to stay, data is now the most important currency for businesses and generational change in the workforce is changing the way people look at their careers.

 

Waiting for the market recovery is NOT an option , leaders and owners need to act.

 

So, how do businesses go beyond survival and master the 'new reality of recruitment' by building scalable, process-led, tech-enabled and investor-ready businesses.?

 

In this interactive discussion with live Q&A we will explore:

 

  • How to overcome the fact that recruitment is no longer a cyclical market
  • How to adapt to clients valuing outsourcing all or part of the recruitment process and not simply sourcing candidates 
  • Why data is the new differentiator and how it can make you more profitable and fuel growth
  • Adapting to being an Automation and AI lead business
  • Investing and prioritising in relationship skills which are more important than ever

 

Attendees will get key 'takeaways' that they can apply immediately in their businesses to improve performance and efficiency.
