From hiring freeze to boom: How to reach recruitment goals in an unstable context

Managing an in-house tech recruitment team as well as all the specifics involved in international hiring has been an incredibly challenging task in our fluctuating market scenario. The economic recession and the high demand for specific tech skills have enhanced the need to navigate a tight global labour market where cultural awareness and flexibility are must-haves.

This is where RPO comes in as a great solution that offers the flexibility to handle peak times and hiring freezes without impacting business headcount.

In this opening session, we will discuss how to avoid wild swings in tech recruitment teams using Recruitment Process Outsourcing.

The HR Tech Market in 2023 looks very different from that blooming and promising environment at the beginning of 2022. Today’s recessionary economy has caused companies to be more concerned with cost-cutting, retrenchment strategies and cash burn.

As a result, HR Tech as an industry has faced unsettling ups and downs that have made us wonder — how can we prepare for the 2023 HR Tech market? As the hiring crisis won’t last forever and will see a reversal once inflation passes its peak and interest rates start dropping, data analysis continues to be the best way to prepare for what is ahead.

The second session of the THC Conference is an exclusive invite to be the first to dive into the preliminary results of the 2023 Global Tech Talent Trends report. Pedro Moura will bring fresh data to the table to equip you to understand the market and make informed decisions.

Artificial Intelligence can improve talent acquisition drastically — it can help recruiting teams find the right candidates, verify their skills faster, and shorten the entire recruitment journey by processing data faster than any human could and providing insights to make crucial hiring decisions.

But, although AI proves to have many advantages, incorporating it into the hiring process can have risks as well. This is because not all AI is created equal. So, what makes an AI solution good or bad in tech HR? And how can you make sure your tools are using the right type of AI?

In this session, our guest speakers will take us through an in-depth talk about how AI can be used in talent acquisition practices resulting in effectiveness and innovation.

The ongoing talent shortage have led many employers and HR leaders to rethink their workforce strategies and expand their hiring horizons across-borders.

The benefits of international hiring are undeniable, but so are the barriers. Although a worker for another country can be a winning solution for local talent scarcity and a tight budget, forming a legal business entity is considered a great barrier to international hiring.

In this panel, we’ll discuss the current solutions to navigate the global recruitment landscape as well as their pros and cons.
