Venue: Grosvenor House Hotel, Dubai

How are the best employers in the Middle East recruiting and retaining the skills they need? 

Why attend this event?   

As employers across the Middle East face disruption, talent shortages, new employment models and increased expectations of equity, inclusion, and flexibility across the workplace, we will explore: 

  • How can Talent Leaders plan and deliver the skills needed to realise their strategic goals? 
  • How are new tools, digitalisation and approaches to employer brand, ED&I, and the candidate experience helping employers to compete for the best talent in a complex talent market? 
  • How can organisations hire for retention and increase internal mobility to reduce attrition into 2023? 
  • How can employers and staffing companies best work together to attract the best talent to the UAE and Middle East as global competition increases? 
  • How are recruiters adapting to their own talent and skills shortages and building their own employer brands? 
  • The Future of Talent Management in the UAE and across the Middle East 

What to expect: 

TALiNT Partners events are highly valued for the quality of speakers, senior delegates and insightful content. Expect a fast-moving morning of presentations, panel Q&A and roundtable discussion. We finish the event with the popular Talent Leaders Lunch in Sloanes restaurant.  

This annual event is a great opportunity for senior HR, Talent and Recruiting leaders to connect and learn with peers, discuss your challenges and discover new solutions to help you plan and prepare for 2023 and beyond. 

Who will attend? 

We have Talent Acquisition  & HR Leaders from a range of industries across the MENA Region.

This event is free for Talent Acquisition, HR and Recruiting Leaders.

‘The Talent Leaders workshop was a great opportunity to hear from like minded TA Leaders and share ideas. It was refreshing to connect with TA leaders at a similar level in their organisation and to share both ideas and challenges. We covered a great range of topics over a relatively short amount of time and a good balance of discussions and speakers.’

“I’m so pleased that I made the time to attend the event. Sessions, speakers and the pace of the event were all good, and most importantly they were stimulating and thought provoking. We’re all so busy, and it’s tempting to continue working your way through the to do list. However, this event was time well spent….and has already sparked lots of thoughts around how my team operates and our areas of focus. And as always, it’s always great to network and meet with other leaders experiencing similar challenges. Thank you.”
