As new workforce trends & regulations, employer priorities and advances in AI converge to transform the world of work, recruitment and tech is converging to transform the sector.

Employers around the world need a new generation of recruitment partners who can help them decide if roles need people, augmentation, or technology and how to optimise all three.

TALiNT Partners Future of Staffing & Talent Solutions Summit will bring together thought leaders from our TA, Recruitment and Tech networks to debate important questions for the sector:

• What does a fit for the future, Recruitment 3.0 business look like?
• Is it a tech-enabled recruitment company or a recruiter enhanced tech platform?
• How is the talent solutions sector supporting the transition to skills-based hiring, and what part is AI playing?
• How are freelance platforms changing the competitive landscape for talent?
• What are the best business models for future growth, investment & acquisition?

Leaders from the world’s biggest staffing and talent solutions firms will share their priorities, strategies and models for success in keynotes and panel debates.

Leading advisors and technology providers enabling transformation will explain how to optimise Agentic AI, Analytics & Automation in focused Forum sessions.

Join us to learn more about the tools and partners that will help you to differentiate your service, deliver greater impact, and punch above your weight.
