## Description

Bill Boorman has spent a working lifetime in and around recruiting. He has seen hype, noise, reality and change loudly proclaimed over the years. In this session, Boorman looks ahead and asks the question What happens when AI technology arrives. How will this impact the way that we hire. What is happening now that gives us an indication of what is coming next. 2025 is the year that Boorman calls proof of concept. The year where real hiring tests are pitching people against agentic agents in AB tests, to determine how hiring , and the work of talent acquisition teams will emerge in 2026. The probable winners and losers.

Expect a few surprises, with more than a hint of controversy.
