Hiring has gotten faster, but finding the best talent has gotten harder. Between AI-generated CVs and drawn-out interview loops, traditional recruitment flows are draining management time and driving up the cost of bad hires. This short, practical session breaks down the three biggest operational bottlenecks in the current hiring landscape—and shows you how to fix them using objective candidate data early in your funnel to secure top performers

Organisations spend a lot of time talking about skills shortage, and it’s partially true, the market is tight, demands are growing, and many critical roles are going unfilled.
Despite this, we still shy away from the uncomfortable questions?
In this session I’ll talk about why knowing the answers to those questions is the new competitive advantage, we’ll look beyond just skills scarcity and focus on skills visibility, and unpack actionable workforce intelligence, before you even need AI
Most candidates now expect to be screened by a machine and ghosted by a company, and
only a quarter trust AI to judge them fairly. Mat Holliday came through HireWithLumi's
own live video screening call when he moved from agency recruitment into sales. He
shows what the candidate sees when it's done properly: questions written from their own
CV, a conversation that follows up on their answers, and personalised feedback for every
unsuccessful applicant. With real replies from rejected candidates, and how to send
feedback to 746 applicants without adding recruiter hours.
We talk a lot about hiring for potential, but what does potential actually look like?
In this practical session, I’ll share five things recruiters and hiring managers can explore when assessing potential, including learning agility, aspiration, ability to handle greater complexity and readiness for what comes next.
Attendees will leave with practical questions and prompts they can use in hiring and talent conversations, helping them look beyond the CV and make better, more evidence-based talent decisions.
Please let me know if you need anything else from me at this stage. I’m really looking forward to the event and will look out for the presentation requirements later in the month.
Smarter Recruitment. Stronger Human Connections. Better Hires.
