Talent Acquisition in Transition: From Hiring to Strategic Value

Cedar would like to invite you to our upcoming exclusive breakfast event!

Cedar invites you to an exclusive business breakfast in The Wolseley City’s private dining room, bringing together senior HR, finance, and business leaders to explore the evolving role of Talent Acquisition. Led by Gerry Monaghan, we’ll examine how TA can shift from reactive hiring to a strategic driver of business value, balancing data, technology, and the human touch to deliver stronger outcomes for organisations and candidates.

Key themes for discussion include:

The Evolving Role of Talent Acquisition

Talent Acquisition is shifting from reactive hiring to workforce planning and long-term value. We will look at how TA can work more closely with HR, finance and business leaders, and adapt across both quieter markets and high-growth periods.

Data-Driven Recruitment & Workforce Analytics

Recruitment data is moving from operations to business intelligence. We will explore how predictive analytics and hiring metrics support executive decision-making and how TA leaders can show ROI with clear impact.

Employer Branding & Candidate Experience

Standing out in a market where every brand claims to be innovative is a challenge. We will discuss how candidate expectations, particularly Gen Z, are changing employer branding and why trust and engagement remain central.

The Future of TA: AI, Automation & the Human Touch

AI and automation are reshaping recruitment but the human element is still vital. We will consider where technology adds value, where people are essential, and how to balance efficiency with empathy.

Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Please register your interest early to secure your place at this exclusive event.

We look forward to welcoming you for a morning of inspiring and thought-provoking discussion. If you have any questions please contact Gerry Monaghan
