Recruitment and Selection Conference 2025

Redefining Talent Acquisition for the Future Workforce

Recruitment and selection are no longer just about filling vacancies; they are about building the future of work. The landscape of hiring has shifted dramatically post-2020, with AI, automation, and workforce expectations redefining what it means to attract and retain top talent. In South Africa, these shifts are compounded by regulatory changes, skills shortages, and the urgent need to create inclusive, agile, and high-performing teams.

The Recruitment & Selection Conference 2025 is designed specifically for HR leaders, talent acquisition specialists, and recruitment professionals who need to navigate this evolving environment. This conference is not about rehashing the same old recruitment playbook – it’s about bold strategies, real-world innovations, and the future of hiring.

Over two days, industry experts will unpack the latest hiring methodologies, discuss high-impact case studies, and provide practical, data-driven solutions to optimise recruitment effectiveness. Whether you are grappling with AI’s role in hiring, tackling youth unemployment, implementing diversity strategies, or refining employer branding, this event will provide the insights and tools you need.

• Be Future-Ready – Discover how AI, automation, and workforce analytics are reshaping recruitment.
• Master High-Volume & Agile Hiring – Learn how to efficiently manage large-scale recruitment without compromising on quality.
• Unpack the New Employment Equity Act (EEA) Amendments – Understand the impact of legislative changes on hiring and compliance for 2025 and beyond.
