Brainfood Live On Air - Ep338 - Recruitment Agency 2028!
RECRUITMENT AGENCY: 2028!
It's been an incredibly challenging 3 year period for the staffing agency market. Hostile de-globalisation, End of ZIRP, and the Rise of AI has prompted employers to radically rethinking their workforce requirements - and in the case of many of the highest paying sectors - finance, technology, consultancy - reduce absolute number of heads in order to do more with less.
Forward thinking recruitment agencies are responding to new market conditions with innovations of their own - in business development, in service offerings and in candidate acquisition. More transformation will inevitably occur as the external macro continues to be volatile and the staffing agency market continues to become more competitive
We will cover;
- What are the episodic vs persistent trends in the staffing agency market?
- How is business development changing?
- Where are technologies having the most impact in staffing agency operations?
- What markets will staffing agencies focus on going forward?
- Where will agencies find customers in 2028?
- Where will agencies find candidates in 2028?
- Will the solo recruiter + AI enabled be the default template of tomorrow's recruiter?
- What defensive moat do agents have against AI?
- Will organisations turn more to agencies are internal TA continue to get cut?
- What are the future proof techniques for maintaining relationships with clients who may not buy for 12 months or longer?
- What business model best suits a staffing firm in anticipated market conditions in 2028?
All this and more with some of the smartest people in the staffing agency space. Join Louise Triance, Founder (UKRecruiter), Kalpesh Baxi, James Osbourne, Chairman (The Recruitment Network), Keith Langbo, Founder (Kelaca), Keith Southern, Founder (The Power Hive) & John Chirikjian, CEO (Hire Inc).
