World Leaders in Recruitment Summit

Change is the only constant in a talent marketplace that has been fundamentally transformed by new workforce trends and an explosion of technology for every part of the candidate and employee journey. 

This has enhanced the perception of recruitment as a professional service, with talent solution providers valued as strategic partners by employers adapting to a more dispersed, flexible and multi-generational workforce.   

As the movement towards skills-based hiring gathers momentum, how can recruiters stay ahead of the curve and help employers to adapt?  

As the deployment of AI and Analytics become integral to client delivery, how can recruiters overcome the obstacles to adoption and integration of tech to grow more profitably? 

What new skills and roles are needed in recruitment to deliver more data-led services? 

With employers around the world more open to a global, contingent workforce solutions, how can recruiters differentiate to compete and resource their services more cost-effectively? 

As global staffing and talent solution firms look to compete through strategic acquisitions, will we see more consolidation in recruitment?  

Join us for this year’s World Leaders in Recruitment Summit, which will bring together leaders from the biggest and best staffing and talent solutions firms to explore strategies for success. Panel debates and focused roundtable discussions with peers and leading providers will help leaders make better decisions about their talent, technology, and partners to deliver more profitable solutions.
