Recruitment is changing fast. From AI agents reshaping the workplace, to the toughest hiring challenges HR has ever faced, and new employment laws on the horizon, this seminar gives you the insights and tools to stay ahead.
Join industry experts for practical strategies, legal updates, and live AI demos that will help you hire smarter, stay compliant, and put people at the heart of your recruitment in 2025 and beyond.
Find out what’s really challenging recruitment in 2025 and how HR can respond with Bea Ukaye from Quest Employment.
In today’s fast-changing hiring landscape, recruitment isn’t just about finding talent, it’s about earning trust, staying compliant, and standing out in a crowded market. This session unpacks the top challenges facing HR in 2025, from digital and green skills shortages to rising candidate expectations, pay pressures, compliance complexity, and the growing issue of dropouts and ghosting.
You’ll gain practical, legally sound strategies to meet these challenges head-on, hiring for potential with skills-based assessments, aligning values with candidate needs, streamlining processes to keep top talent engaged, and navigating the legal and ethical risks of AI in recruitment.
Packed with actionable insights and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to audit your recruitment journey, strengthen collaboration between HR and hiring managers, and partner effectively with trusted agencies like Quest Employment to access deep candidate networks, reduce time-to-hire, and ensure fair, inclusive hiring.
Walk away with a roadmap to make recruitment not just faster or smarter, but more human, more fair, and more aligned with what people truly want from work today.
Employment Law and Recruitment, what every employer needs to know in 2025 with David Brown from Hegarty.
Staying compliant in recruitment and employment is more complex than ever. In this session, we’ll explore the key legal considerations every employer and HR professional must navigate, from crafting fair recruitment policies and avoiding discrimination, to ensuring contracts of employment are in place from day one.
We’ll cover the essentials of probationary periods, working time regulations, and the legal implications of flexible hours and remote work. You’ll also learn how to manage trust issues, avoid false statements and claims, and understand your anti-harassment duties under current law.
Looking ahead, we’ll review upcoming and potential changes in employment legislation so you can prepare your policies, processes, and people in advance. Packed with practical guidance, this session will help you protect your organisation, stay compliant, and build a fair, legally sound recruitment process from start to finish.
