Talent Acquisition in 2030: How Work, AI, & Skills Will Redefine Recruiting

22 Apr 2026
Stage 2
Core Session
Application tsunamis and Talent shortages at the same time, AI agents, skills over CVs, platform power, regulation, and changing candidate expectations are already reshaping recruiting. But what will really define talent acquisition in 2030—and what will be obsolete long before then? 

This panel looks beyond hype and forecasts to discuss what recruiting leaders must unlearn, rebuild, and decide today to stay relevant tomorrow. From AI-driven decision-making to trust, transparency, and human judgment: 
•    What will recruiting look like when algorithms recruit, candidates choose harder, and demographics leave no room for mistakes? 
•    A forward-looking, honest discussion for those who don’t want to manage decline—but shape the future of recruiting.
