About this Event

Connect with Talent Acquisition professionals to share strategic insights, challenges, and solutions. A space for TA professionals to talk honestly about what's working, what isn't, and what's next.


⭐️ About the Event

Recruitment isn't easy right now. Budgets are tighter, expectations are higher and finding great people often feels harder than ever. For many internal recruiters and Talent Acquisition leaders, it can feel like you're tackling those challenges alone.

That's why we host the Talent Acquisition Community - an invite-only group designed to give you the space to share, learn and build real connections. These are informal roundtable sessions, bringing together TA and Recruitment leaders in a relaxed, supportive setting.

With only up to 15 seats at the table, conversations stay personal, practical, and genuinely useful. You'll leave with ideas you can actually use.

📋 What to Expect

  • Sharing Experiences – Talk openly about the real-world challenges you're facing and hear how others in similar roles are approaching theirs.
  • Building Networks – Connect with people who get it, and build trusted, long-lasting professional relationships.
  • Fresh Perspectives – Hear different viewpoints and discover new ways of approaching the recruitment challenges that matter most.
  • Focus on People – Discussions reflect what's relevant to your day-to-day, from employer brand and candidate experience to inclusion in hiring.

👏🏻 Who It's For

Internal Talent Acquisition Leaders, Recruitment Managers, Heads of Resourcing, and Senior Internal Recruiters who want to connect with peers, share expertise, and explore the operational and strategic priorities of modern recruitment.

💬 Recent Discussion Themes

  • Optimising Candidate Experience
  • Building a Resilient Employer Brand
  • Leveraging Recruitment Technology and AI
  • Budget-Conscious Hiring Strategies
  • Enhancing Diversity and Inclusion in Talent Pools

🙌🏻 Why Join Leading Talent Acquisition at any level is demanding. Having a strong network of peers to think things through with makes a real difference.

Join us to connect with your peers, exchange practical ideas, and sharpen your recruitment strategy in a relaxed and confidential setting.
