Beam Talk: Successful Matching in a Tight Labour Market

How do candidates and employers find each other in a shifting labour market? Which players make the difference? And what does the future of HR services look like?

The labour market is shifting. Demographic change, technological innovation and new ways of working are reshaping how organisations find the talent and expertise they need.

In this changing landscape, the labour market relies on a growing ecosystem of intermediaries, including recruitment agencies, interim providers, social media platforms, job boards and public employment services. Yet the role of these actors is rarely discussed in a broader strategic context.

During this Beam Talk, labour market expert Jan Denys will offer a broader perspective on the mechanisms that connect people and work.

What we'll explore:

• How the HR services sector has evolved and where it is heading
• How talent matching is changing in an increasingly tight labour market
• What current labour market trends mean for HR professionals and organisations

Who is this for?

This session is aimed at HR professionals, HR leaders, HR consultants and anyone interested in understanding the changing dynamics of talent matching and preparing for the labour market of tomorrow.
