Talent Acquisition Day 2026
An adaptive Talent Acquisition starts with the fundamentals
Talent Acquisition is increasingly influenced by forces that extend far beyond recruitment alone. Structural labor shortages, accelerating technological development, regulatory pressures, and rising expectations from both leadership and candidates are reshaping the conditions under which the function operates.
In this environment, clear direction has become essential if the Talent Acquisition role is to remain strong, relevant, and credible.
This conference will provide both an international and national perspective on how Talent Acquisition can be strengthened and consolidated within the broader HR and organizational agenda. The focus is on reinforcing the foundations of the TA role and clarifying how it can contribute strategically to organizational priorities.
What the conference will highlight
Throughout the day, attention will be given to how Talent Acquisition can be further developed and supported in practice, including:
- The work that technology cannot do, and how TA can strengthen their judgement, curiosity and credibility
- The evolving expectations placed on TA, and what leaders and candidates increasingly demand
- The strategic mandate of Talent Acquisition, and how the role can be positioned more deliberately within the organization.
- What the latest international trends tell us, and how to translate insights into action
- The competencies and conditions required to sustain a strong, resilient and agile TA function
Who should attend?
This conference is for Talent Acquisition professionals across levels, from Recruiters and Talent Partners to TA Leads and Heads of TA, as well as other professionals who are closely involved with Talent Acquisition.
Program (TBA):
The Work That Technology Can’t Do
In this keynote, Katrina Collier explores the changing role of Talent Acquisition in a time of increasing automation and pressure on HR functions. With a strong focus on the human side of recruitment, she challenges how TA professionals position themselves, work with leaders, and demonstrate their value.
The session offers fresh perspectives on where TA creates real impact, why critical thinking and curiosity matter more than ever, and how asking better questions can change outcomes – for candidates, hiring managers and organisations alike.
A high-energy and thought-provoking keynote designed to set the direction for the day and spark meaningful conversations long after the conference ends.
