Building a Simple AI Strategy for Your Recruitment Business

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere in recruitment right now. New tools appear every week, and many businesses are experimenting — but without a clear plan, these efforts can be chaotic, inconsistent, and fail to deliver real value.

The key to success is not adopting every new tool, but building a simple, strategic approach to AI that actually supports your business goals. When implemented thoughtfully, AI can streamline workflows, improve candidate engagement, and enhance decision-making — without overcomplicating your processes.

In this session, TRN’s Gordon Stoddart will guide you through creating a practical AI strategy for your recruitment business. You’ll learn how to focus on the tools and applications that truly matter, integrate them into your workflows, and get measurable results without wasting time or resources.

We’ll explore:

• How to separate hype from tools that genuinely add value
• Simple ways to integrate AI into sourcing, candidate engagement, and workflow automation
• Strategies for training your team to adopt AI effectively
• How to measure the impact of AI on productivity, client outcomes, and revenue
• Building a scalable approach so AI supports growth, rather than creating complexity

This session will give you actionable steps to adopt AI with confidence, helping your business work smarter, not harder.
