Top Talent Summit
Talent Acquisitionis being rebuilt.
The question is what we build next.
Tell us who you are and why you're joining. If there's a place for you, we'll send your invitation within 20 to 30 minutes.
The tension
AI can already do moreof the recruiting work.
- Source.
- Screen.
- Research.
- Schedule.
- Write.
- Summarize.
- Interview.
If AI can do more of therecruiting work, what shouldTalent Acquisition become?
Who this is for
A room curated, not filled.
Four kinds of people shape what Talent Acquisition becomes. Each one is here for a different reason, and each reason is deliberate.
- I
Talent Acquisition leaders
Accountable for what the function becomes, not only what it delivers this quarter.
- II
Recruiters
Carrying the requisitions while the work itself is being rewritten underneath them.
- III
Sourcers
Closest to the search, and first to feel where automation ends and judgment begins.
- IV
Recruiting operations
Holding the systems, the data, and the decisions everyone else depends on.
If you recognise yourself above, the summit was designed with you in the room.

Most conferences ask you to listen.
Top Talent Summit asks you to build.
Start inside Talent Acquisition.
See what is changing in the function.
Then look outside it.
Learn from people already redesigning work elsewhere.
Then choose your lab.
Choose the problem most useful to you and turn the ideas into something practical.
Then come back together.
Return to the main room to share what changed, what was built, and what comes next.
12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET
Inside TA
Start with the profession itself. What is changing in Talent Acquisition, what is already possible, and what the function is being forced to reconsider.
