Decoding the Future of Recruitment
The webinar is designed to tackle the most pressing questions in talent acquisition today. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how AI is creating a dual impact: driving a talent war for highly specialized AI skills while simultaneously increasing automation in traditional white-collar roles. The discussion will also extend to macroeconomics, analyzing how potential tariff and immigration policies in 2026 could influence inflation and wage dynamics. Furthermore, Flowers will provide an expert outlook on whether the U.S. and other global economies are positioned to avoid a recession next year amidst ongoing policy uncertainty.
The session will also address foundational concerns for data-driven recruiters, including how to interpret significant recent revisions to job data and whether the Bureau of Labor Statistics remains a reliable resource for labor market analysis. This comprehensive overview aims to bridge the gap between high-level economic trends and practical recruitment strategy.
The webinar, titled "How AI and Macroeconomic Trends Are Reshaping the World of Recruiting," will take place on Tuesday, October 21, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET. Registration for the free event is now open.
