Future of Recruitment Conference: What ANZ Leaders need next

Recruitment is entering a new phase of transformation. As AI capabilities mature, operating models evolve, and expectations around productivity, experience and business impact continue to rise, recruitment leaders are being challenged to rethink how their teams create value.

From agentic AI and automation to changing buyer expectations and shifting workforce dynamics, the question is no longer whether recruitment will change, but how leaders will adapt and stay ahead.

Join us for an interactive and engaging conference in partnership with People2.0 & Recruit Wizard, on Thursday 19 November 2026 at the Shangri-La Sydney, where we’ll explore the ideas, innovations and strategic decisions shaping the next chapter of recruitment across ANZ.

Key Discussion Topics

• Recruitment Teams in the Age of AI: How recruitment leaders are integrating AI, automation and emerging agent technologies across sourcing, screening, engagement and delivery, while maintaining trust, quality and human connection.
• The Evolution of Growth & Client Engagement: How technology, data and changing buyer expectations are reshaping business development, client partnerships and commercial strategy across recruitment organisations.
• Designing the Recruitment Operating Model of the Future: What high-performing recruitment businesses are doing differently across team structures, capability building, leadership, productivity and ways of working.
• From Efficiency to Impact: How leading firms are moving beyond cost and speed metrics to demonstrate measurable business value, improve decision making and create more strategic influence.
• Growth, Consolidation & New Opportunities: How recruitment firms are approaching expansion, partnerships, investment and market positioning in an increasingly competitive and evolving landscape.
