Agenda
- 10:00 - 10:30 Arrival & Registration
- 10:30 - 10:45 Welcome & Introductions, Ray Culver, TALiNT Partners
- 10:45 - 11:15 Keynote
- 11:15 - 11:45 Panel 1: Strategic Growth & The M&A Multiplier Scaling a staffing firm in a mature market requires a shift from transactional recruitment to integrated talent partnership. This session explores how leaders de-risk their business by diversifying into "sticky" service lines like RPO and MSP. We’ll examine how this evolution—combined with disciplined M&A—creates a powerful growth engine and transforms a standard agency into a high-value enterprise.
- 11:45 - 12:15 Roundtable 1: How can staffing leaders move beyond the volatility of transactional hiring? Moving beyond the volatility of transactional hiring isn’t about doing more placements; it’s about shifting to long-term talent partnerships, expanding through the right mix of build vs. buy strategies, and driving higher enterprise value through service diversification and disciplined M&A.
- 12:15 - 13:15 Lunch
- 13:15 - 13:45 Panel 2: The HI + AI Synergy: Recruiters as "Super-Connectors" The debate has shifted from "AI vs. Human" to "AI + Human Intelligence (HI)." This session explores how the most successful recruiters are leveraging agentic AI and automation to strip away administrative friction, allowing them to lean into their most valuable role: the Super-Connector.
- 13:45 - 14:15 Roundtable 2: Is the future of recruitment really about technology replacing people—or about Human Intelligence (HI) being amplified by Artificial Intelligence? The future of recruitment isn't about technology replacing people; it’s about Human Intelligence (HI) being amplified by Artificial Intelligence.
- 14:15 - 14:45 Panel 3: New Staffing Models & The Platform Shift The traditional agency model is undergoing a foundational shift. As the "platformization" of staffing gains momentum, firms are moving away from manual, linear processes toward digital ecosystems that enable on-demand talent delivery.
- 14:45 - 15:15 Roundtable 3: How are leaders platformizing the traditional staffing model to support new “as-a-service” talent models while staying agile? The traditional agency model is undergoing a foundational shift. As the "platformization" of staffing gains momentum, firms are moving away from manual, linear processes toward digital ecosystems that enable on-demand talent delivery.
