When trends meet reality, the real decisions begin.
The talent landscape is shifting fast, and while keeping track of trends and developments can give us direction, real progress happens when experienced leaders challenge assumptions, share what actually works, and dare to question the obvious answers.
In this fireside chat, we've brought together two seasoned recruitment experts with different — and at times contrasting — perspectives on the future of Talent Acquisition.
Join our discussion together with Markus Åberg, Head of Talent Advisory at Academic Work and Tony de Graaf, founder of the Recruiting Excellence Foundation. Both with a long, varied, and highly strategic TA background.
Moderated as an open conversation, the session will move beyond buzzwords and into the realities TA leaders are facing right now: data-driven decision-making, AI adoption, workforce planning, and the implications of new regulations such as pay transparency.
Expect honest reflections, practical examples, and nuanced takes; not one-size-fits-all frameworks.
What you will get:
- A clearer view of where TA is actually heading, beyond trend headlines and hype
- Concrete examples of how data can (and should) guide recruitment strategy, prioritization, and long-term planning
- More grounded perspectives on AI in TA; what’s truly changing, what isn’t, and where teams often get stuck
- New ways to think about regulation, workforce planning, and future skills, even when the answers aren’t black and white
Tune in as we explore how the world of recruitment is poised to change and what you can do to meet these new challenges.
