A Note from the Editor

We’ve recently kicked off a new series on our blog: The 2026 Playbook: What Recruiters Need to Do Differently. This builds on the momentum from our last series – From Surviving to Thriving – which resonated with so many recruiters by helping them boost margins, protect profits and work smarter. Now, as 2026 approaches, we’re looking ahead: recruitment is changing fast, and this playbook is all about how agencies can adapt to stay competitive.

• Amplify the Human Touch with Smarter Communication from CloudCall looking at how recruitment teams will adapt in 2026 to stay competitive, connected and truly human-first.
• Recruiters Who Win Will Think Like Technologists from JSBC Labs looking at why the recruiters who win won’t be the ones with the most tools – but the ones who can make their systems work seamlessly together.
• From Résumés to Revenue – How AI Will Redefine the Recruitment Workflow from Allsorter looking at what the most forward-thinking agencies are already doing differently.

And there’s plenty more coming. Soon we’ll be publishing:

• Rethinking Cash Flow & Back Office – Where Recruitment Growth Really Happens from Simplicity in Business looking at the four priorities for building a more scalable and sustainable recruitment business in 2026.
• Recruitment in 2026: Meeting Changing Client Needs from 3R looking at practical steps to help agencies respond to shifting client expectations while protecting margins and strengthening relationships.
