Webinar #4: When AI is screened bu AI, then what?

AI is revolutionising the recruitment process. Candidates are now applying using AI-generated tools and being screened by AI-driven systems. In this evolving landscape, one might wonder what the point of it all is? And which personnel selection methods will actually provide value in the era of AI recruitment?

In this webinar our guest speaker is Nikos Moraitakis, Co-founder and CEO of Workable.

Webinar #3: How agencies can present "wild card" candidates

Watch our third webinar in our series featuring Hung Lee, where we explore the topic of presenting "wild card" candidates. In this session, we delve into effective strategies for showcasing candidates who possess exceptional potential, despite not necessarily fitting the traditional mould of an ideal candidate.

Joining us for this discussion is James Osborne, the Co-founder of The Recruitment Network, who shares valuable insights from his extensive experience in the industry.

Webinar #2: Getting real value from reference checking

Reference checking is a hidden gem. Normally we use it for red flag alerts or ticking the box on the employment verification. But you can learn a lot about a candidate's potential from people that actually observed the candidate on the job. In this webinar, we'll discuss what insights you can retrieve from a reference check as well as provide you with practical steps to work more data-driven, reduce bias in your process and increase validity.

Webinar #1: How to Know Someone Would Be A Great Recruiter

Hiring the right people with the right skills and abilities is a critical activity in Talent Management. It got us wondering what it takes to be able to do just that. What skills and abilities are necessary to be a successful Talent Acquisition Manager or Recruiter?

This is the topic that we discussed in our first out of four webinars together with Hung Lee. In this session, we have Bettina Liporazzi, Co-Founder of SeedTree Talent, and Thorbjörn Bengtson, Organisational Psychologist, with us.
