Why Talent Acquisition change fails (and how to ensure yours doesn't)
May 12, 2026 | 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Fast-track successful change with lessons from real-world HR leaders.
The rate of change in talent acquisition isn’t slowing down. From new technologies to evolving expectations, talent leaders are being asked to transform how they attract, engage, and hire talent while unifying your C-Suite and recruitment teams behind a single vision.
But before implementation even begins, many teams face a critical challenge: how do you build the case for change and get the buy-in to move forward? And once you do, how do you ensure that it actually sticks?
Join PageUp for a live, no-filter audit of real-world change management successes (and failures) featuring HR leaders from Virginia Commonwealth University and Gonzaga University as they share their firsthand experiences from securing stakeholder alignment in the early stages to driving adoption during the implementation of new recruitment technology.
We’ll explore:
- How organisationsorganizations build the case for new TA technology and gain stakeholder buy-in
- Approaches to managing change during implementation
- Common challenges and how they were overcome
- Strategies for driving alignment and user adoption
- Lessons learned and measurable impact on recruitment outcomes
Wherever you are in your change journey, this session will offer practical, experience-led insights you can put into action to ensure project success.
