A Note from the Editor
This week’s Recruitment Smarts brings together some of the most forward‑thinking ideas shaping recruitment in 2026. From the website features candidates now expect, to creative sourcing tactics that cut through the noise, we’re spotlighting the strategies helping agencies stay competitive in a shifting market. We also look at why “quick wins” in BD rarely deliver lasting results, and share a practical playbook for consistently hiring top talent.
In our “We Love…” section, you’ll find insights on tech ROI, Gen Z behaviour, AI‑driven skills hiring, automation trends and more. It’s a packed edition designed to sharpen your edge in a fast‑moving industry.
