Key Themes: Legal Compliance, People Focus & AI

Staying Legally Sound in Recruitment & Employment

From drafting fair job adverts to dealing with contract terms, anti-discrimination, probationary periods, and more — legal risk is a constant. The Hegarty session will clearly map out employer obligations, anticipated legal changes, and proactive steps to reduce exposure.

Reinventing Recruitment in 2025

HR is more than filling roles — it’s about building reputation, trust, and alignment. The Quest Employment session will unpack how to:

Hire for potential using skills-based assessments
Align organisational values with candidate expectations
Streamline hiring to avoid dropouts and ghosting
Forge better collaboration between HR, hiring managers, and external partners

AI & the Future of HR

AI in HR is no longer future talk — it’s happening now. You’ll see live demos of AI agents and learn how they might change:

Candidate sourcing, screening, and engagement
Workflows and decision-making processes
Ethical risks, bias concerns, and legal questions
Understanding these dynamics is essential to staying competitive — and compliant.
