A Note from the Editor

Pretty much every week Louise hosts Recruitment Smarts Live over on Crowdcast. Here’s a little snapshot of some of the content you might have missed, and can watch on replay:

Just last week she talked with Peter Felix from Sonovate about Funding US Expansion: A Strategic Briefing for UK Recruitment Leaders. Peter shared advice for UK recruiters looking to expand into the US. She also spoke with Nick Woodward, from ETZ about The Autonomous Recruitment Agency: Agentic AI by 2026. Nick has some big plans for 2026, and some bold thoughts on the future of recruitment.

You might also enjoy the webinar Louise hosted with Bryan Wilson, from StaffUpApp where they talked about The Future of Contingent Staffing and her conversation with David Mercer, from Daxtra about The Future of Candidate Discovery for Recruitment Agencies.

There are lots more you can check out, but finally, again recently, she talked with Ashley Bowlin & Steven Collins, from Cloudcall about Recruiter and Sales Productivity in the Age of AI.
