On 7 October, International HR Club is bringing the People, Talent and HR community together in Amsterdam for an evening built around one question: what did we actually learn from global hiring in 2026, and what should HR and Talent teams be thinking about heading into 2027?
An evening of practical, no-fluff conversation on what worked, what didn't, and what's coming in 2027.
Global hiring has changed a lot over the past year. Some approaches worked. Some didn't. And some practices companies relied on just a few years ago are getting harder to justify.
Why attend
We're looking at what's actually happening inside international hiring teams today:
What changed in global hiring during 2026
Which hiring practices and assumptions no longer hold up
What companies are learning about hiring across countries and regions
What HR and Talent teams should prepare for in 2027
The goal is simple: bring together people working on these challenges every day and create space for an open, practical exchange.
AI vs. AI: The New Reality of Hiring
How candidates and employers are changing the hiring game
The new talent market: more candidates, fiercer competition for senior talent
AI, fraud & regulation: what the EU AI Act and AI-enabled fraud mean for hiring
Beyond the hype: AI adoption, tool overload, costs, and what actually drives impact
The skills that matter: adaptable, hands-on leaders and AI-enabled senior talent
