2026: AI-Augmented Hiring and the Future of People Roles
About the event
AI is already transforming how we hire. Are your people and processes ready for what’s next?
AI is transforming how we find, assess, and verify talent — faster than most teams can adapt. By 2026, it will be embedded across the entire hiring lifecycle, changing what it means to build, lead, and develop people functions.
But amid fewer requisitions, tighter budgets, and growing scrutiny on every hire, leaders are under real pressure to get it right. AI is being positioned as the solution, yet it brings its own risks - from fake profiles and data integrity challenges to regulatory uncertainty and new ethical questions.
Join UK Leaders who are already putting AI to work in their hiring processes. Together we’ll explore what’s real, what’s snake oil, and what every people team should be doing now to prepare for 2026.
Expect a candid discussion, practical takeaways, and plenty of opportunities to connect over drinks and conversation.
