Meeting Agenda
Unfortunately the CCS has informed us that they are no longer able to present at this event.
Recruiters in the education sector are being buffeted by twin forces that must be addressed in order to stay competitive: adherence to the requirements of framework agreements and managing the impact of AI and automation. Both require a holistic RevOps approach and both need to be understood in order to stay competitive - regardless of the size of your business.
Welcome & Introduction
Eddie Austin, Founder and CEO, Operam Education Group
Ed Groombridge, Operations Director, Anzuk Education

RevOps - a holistic approach to AI and automation for businesses of all sizes
Matt Gallivan, Sales Director - EMEA, JobAdder
Automation is often seen as only benefiting larger businesses, but in this session we will explore how recruiters of all sizes, who service the education sector, can use process automation to reduce human error and free up precious time.
We will go beyond compliance to look at automation through a commercial lens, and show you how AI can help to bring together different business functions so they have a clearer sense of how they contribute to your overall success.
