Women In Recruitment Leadership - April 2026
Secure your spot at Women in Recruitment Leadership: Lead Sharp, Grow Smart.
An exclusive afternoon for ambitious women shaping the future of recruitment.
Join us for the next Women in Recruitment Leadership event, an invite-only gathering created for bold, forward-thinking women leading teams, driving growth, and redefining what leadership looks like in today's recruitment landscape.
This session is built for founders and senior leaders who are ready to cut through the noise with sharp market intelligence, honest leadership insight, and real conversations about building businesses that perform and sustain.
Meet the Speakers
✨ Cathleen O'Sullivan – Leadership Advisor & Founder
Cathleen brings her signature no-nonsense approach to one of the most pressing challenges facing recruitment founders right now. In Beyond the Grind: The Leadership Shift Recruitment Founders Must Make Now, she'll tackle three critical leadership traps: becoming the bottleneck in your own business, building a founder brand that earns genuine client trust, and leading in a way that is sustainable — not just survivable. Expect honesty, humour, and a hard look at the shifts that actually move the needle.
✨ Francesca Profeta & Eoghan Doherty – Senior Research Analyst & Research Analyst, Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA)
Drawing on SIA's independent global research, Francesca and Eoghan will present Where Growth Lives in 2026: A Guide to What's Next - an evidence-led exploration of where staffing growth is emerging across geographies, high-potential sectors, and new market offerings.
They'll also examine how AI and automation are reshaping the industry and what smart leaders are doing to stay ahead. Leave with clarity on where to focus, what to prioritise, and how to position for success.
