Few people have done more to shape the modern Talent Advisor than John Vlastelica. From leading recruiting at Amazon and Expedia to founding Recruiting Toolbox, John has spent the past two decades helping hundreds of organisations transform Talent Acquisition from a transactional function into a strategic business partner. His ideas around recruiter capability, hiring manager excellence, quality of hire and organisational influence have become essential reading for TA leaders around the world. In this special conversation, we'll sit down with John to explore how the recruiter role is evolving once again in the age of AI - and what the very best talent organisations are doing differently.

The Evolution of the Talent Advisor – How the recruiter role has changed over the past twenty years, and what the next generation of Talent Advisors will look like

Quality of Hire Above All Else – Why the most important metric in Talent Acquisition remains the hardest to define, measure and improve

Building Better Hiring Managers – How organisations can create a culture where hiring managers become active owners of hiring success rather than passive stakeholders

AI Changes the Work—Not the Mission – Where AI and automation can improve recruiting, and where human judgement, curiosity and influence become even more valuable

Strategic Conversations That Matter – How recruiters and TA leaders can earn greater credibility by speaking the language of business rather than recruitment

Developing World-Class Recruiters – The capabilities, behaviours and mindset shifts that separate exceptional recruiters from the rest

Leading Through Change – Helping Talent Acquisition teams adapt to economic uncertainty, organisational transformation and rapidly evolving technology

Differentiation in an AI World – Why organisations may need to become more human, not less, as AI becomes commonplace across hiring

What's Next for Talent Acquisition? – John's perspective on the biggest opportunities and biggest mistakes facing TA leaders over the next five years
