2025 was uncertain. 2026 doesn't have to be.
Recruitment agencies spent much of 2025 waiting, watching markets, hoping for bounce-backs, playing it safe. That’s no longer enough. As James Osborne said: "No more waiting for the market to dictate what’s next.”
It’s time to rethink how you approach business development, not just for short-term wins, but to shape the future of your agency in a competitive, fast-changing landscape.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why traditional BD strategies are failing and what modern, growth-focused agencies are doing differently
- How to sell strategically — moving from “recruitment as a service” to true value-based partnerships
- How to build a resilient, future-ready BD model — based on insight, adaptability, and impact
This session is for you if:
- You’re tired of “just getting by” and want to drive real growth in 2026
- You’re unsure how to differentiate your BD approach in a noisy market
- You’re ready to stop reacting and start leading
