About this Event
How are recruiters adapting to the future of work, and what will enable the best to survive and thrive in 2025?
The talent marketplace in both the UK & Ireland is being fundamentally transformed by changing employer expectations, a growing flexible worker population, more complex employment regulation, and the accelerating impact of AI.
As the movement towards skills-based hiring and a more agile and global workforce gathers momentum, how can Ireland’s recruiters stay relevant?
How will automation and Agentic AI enable recruiters to personalise at scale, sell more effectively, and win higher value business?
How can strategic partnerships enable staffing, search and talent solutions firms to differentiate, punch above their weight or deliver more scalable services?
What new leadership skills and capabilities are needed to succeed in today’s and tomorrow’s recruitment sector?
TALiNT Partners will bring together industry experts, solution providers and award-winning HR and recruitment leaders to answer these and other questions in panel debates and roundtable discussions followed by a leaders’ lunch to connect with peers.
