Talent Acquisition

A webinar hosted by The HR World and sponsored by Cognisses Talent Analytics, part of the DeepLearn Group, recently delved into the use of talent analytics to drive more value for HR from early careers and general talent management.

Simon Reichwald, Chief Progression Officer, Connectr explains why TA Leaders must shift from application volume to focus on candidate intent.

As the candidate pool becomes more diverse and challenging to engage with, it’s time to ensure your organisation is taking the best approach to finding the talent it needs. In this round table discussion we will discuss the options that now exist when it comes to engaging with talent, presenting candidate ability and assessing potential for employment. Whether you’re looking for newcomers to your business, early or later talent, or assessing internally, we’ll be discussing how can HR make the most of the options that exist to ensure no individual is overlooked.

Has the CV had its day? Is it now impossible to put an accurate picture of a life and an individual’s work potential on to a few sheets of A4? More to the point, does your talent actually want to create a CV? Do they find it frustrating when they have to approach your business in a way that doesn’t match what they think they can offer? These questions and more were discussed in The HR World webinar, Gen Z Doesn’t Do CVs — Are You Ready? sponsored by Vizzy.

Colin Minto, Chief of Staff, Cognisess believes that in 2026, the Best Talent Strategy Is the One That Starts From Within.

Creating and delivering an effective talent acquisition strategy is no mean feat in the face of pressure for new employees. But, says Simon Kent, its well worth taking time to get it right.

Hiring challenges aren’t limited to peak season anymore - skills shortages, rising costs, and shifting demand are now year-round concerns. This virtual round table, sponsored by Indeed Flex, brought together leading HR professionals from diverse industries.

Despite all technology progress Josh Bersin is adamant that people will remain at the heart of the talent world. Here he discusses the current and future impact of AI on the function with The HR World's Head of Content Simon Kent.

The experience of joining a new employer should be impressive and efficient. From application to first day and beyond the candidate’s journey should be smooth and satisfying, enabling them to contribute as soon as possible and helping the employer build a positive brand.
