New year, new hiring targets. But what needs to change to achieve them?
More applications don’t automatically mean better hires. AI promises greater efficiency, but brings fresh questions about candidate authenticity, fair assessment and where human judgement matters most. Meanwhile, the pressure is on to find people who can contribute today and grow with your business tomorrow.
Start the year by stepping back from the day-to-day recruitment demands and comparing approaches with people facing the same challenges.
Join The HR World and Bright Network for a roundtable dinner bringing together talent acquisition leaders from technology, financial services, legal and professional services organisations.
Over dinner, we’ll explore:
- Finding talent in the masses: how to identify strong candidates when application volumes make it harder to see who stands out.
- Making AI earn its place: where technology can improve recruitment, where human judgement adds value, and how to assess candidates who use AI themselves.
- Balancing readiness with potential: when to prioritise experience and when hiring for aptitude and developing skills could deliver greater value.
- Turning business priorities into hiring decisions: how to challenge briefs, agree what success looks like and measure beyond time-to-hire.
Bring your toughest recruitment challenge and the approaches you’re ready to rethink. Leave with fresh perspectives from your peers, practical ideas to test and clearer priorities for your first 90 days of 2027.
Good food, candid conversation, and a fresh perspective on how you hire.
