Exploring new talent sources for the professional recruitment sector 2023

In a market where candidate scarcity is still a major challenge for members and clients alike, this interactive workshop session will give you the confidence to explore less traditional candidate sources, drive diversity within your business, and enable growth.

Identifying the right stuff! – The five “A’s”

Graham Mitchell, Business Psychologist, T2i

Graham will kick off this session with an overview of the personality characteristics to identify and evaluate when considering internal candidates from inherently different and diverse backgrounds.

Panel introductions – Taking a leap of faith.

The Bridge of Hope Careers team knows first-hand how soul-destroying it is to be unemployed. 

They also know that hundreds of thousands of people are overlooked for employment because of their identity or history. That's wrong and an oversight, and during the Q&A Chance and James will be talking about people who can bring unparalleled grit and resilience, loyalty, creativity, and employability into your workplace. 

Since launching the 'Reskilling the Recovery' campaign, LPC has pledged over £10m of unspent levy funds to support more than 250 small businesses across London and help young Londoners move into better-paid sustainable work through new apprenticeship opportunities. Come armed with questions for Suneal as to how best you can tap into an apprenticeship programme.

RISE UK is a charity that was launched in late 2018 and they have been providing life-changing opportunities for young people ever since. During 2022 we helped many young people aged 16-30 to secure jobs, apprenticeships, and work experience.  This is a unique opportunity to learn how to get involved in a programme that helps managed the governance and day-to-day operations of the charity, drive culture change within the supporting company and place candidates FOC.

Panel discussion and Q&A led by Sam Hurley

Q&A session for all focusing on the opportunities for growing your teams through these different streams.  Please come armed with questions.
