Where AI actually creates traction in a recruitment business
In this opening session, we reset how you think about productivity and show you where AI has the biggest commercial impact.
Before we start building with different tools, we focus on where the time leaks are and where automation delivers the fastest ROI.
You’ll learn how to:

- Identify repetitive, manual tasks draining consultant timeSpot “quick wins” vs longer-term projects
- Prioritise high-impact automations across BD, delivery and back office
- Build your first 90-day AI action plan
By the end of this session, you’ll have clarity on what to automate first, what to ignore and where to focus.
These implementation lab sessions are hands-on, interactive and practical where we will be building agentic AI together in real time.
We’ll:
- Share wins and lessons from the group
- Review real use cases from membersLive build automations together
- Fix prompts and workflows
- Troubleshoot tools and integrations
- Break into small groups to design solutions
- Commit to one live implementation each week
You don’t just learn. You leave each session with something new and functional.
