Recruiting Across Borders: Real Talk from APAC Leaders

What can recruitment leaders across the world learn from one of the most competitive regions in the industry?

Join senior leaders who are already operating at global scale for a straight-talking, practical conversation on what it takes to succeed in today’s fast-changing talent landscape. Together, they’ll unpack how their businesses are navigating global talent shifts, expanding into new markets, managing performance across cultures, and embracing opportunity in complex economies.

What we’ll be covering:

• What's driving demand (and drop-off) in Asia-Pacific markets right now
• Building high-performing, cross-cultural teams
• How leaders are balancing tech, process, and people
• Lessons from expansion: what works, what doesn’t
• Advice for anyone scaling internationally or recruiting global talent

Our panel of experts:

Richard Jackson (UAE/KSA): With over 25 years of experience, he specialises in strategic hiring, succession planning, and organisational transformation, advising multinational manufacturing and supply chain companies across Thailand, ASEAN, and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

George Leaning (Specialized Group, Japan): George drives the company’s global recruitment excellence by enhancing tools, training, and career development to empower consultants to become top-performing recruiters.

Abigail Stevens (Think Global Recruitment): Founder and Managing Director of Think Global Recruitment, with 30 years’ experience placing accountants internationally, with deep insight into local hiring trends, cultural nuances, and the strategic realities of expanding a recruitment business into APAC markets.

This isn’t theory. It’s the inside track from leaders who are navigating global talent shifts in real time and winning.
