The UK construction industry is facing a persistent paradox: while the broader labour market shows signs of easing, construction hiring pressure remains structurally acute. This is not a cyclical recruitment issue that will resolve as economic conditions fluctuate; it is the result of long-term forces reshaping how labour supply and demand interact.
For TA and HR leaders, the goal has changed. It’s no longer about just filling roles; it’s about building a proactive engine that stays ahead of the curve. Join us as our panel of experts dive into moving beyond the “post and pray” model and show you how to build a high-impact sourcing strategy that actually works.
Backed by real-world examples from seasoned TA practitioners, we’ll show you how to modernise your process, improve candidate experience, and drive measurable ROI.
We’ll explore:
Breaking the reactive cycle: How to move beyond vacancy-led hiring to build proactive talent pools ahead of demand.
Skills-based resilience: Widening your talent pool through inclusive hiring and data-driven workforce planning.
Tech with purpose: Using AI and automation to strip away the admin, giving your recruiters the space to do what they do best: build relationships and trust.
Ensuring delivery certainty: Progressing through the TA maturity curve to integrate workforce planning with project pipelines and reduce reliance on expensive agencies.

Recruiting generates no shortage of data. But burnt-out teams, pipelines flooded with AI-generated resumes, and constant pressure to prove ROI have talent leaders asking the same question: what should we actually be measuring?
The problem isn’t a lack of metrics. Most teams are simply tracking the wrong ones. According to Gartner’s Future of Work Trends 2025, organisationsorganizations fixated on activity numbers are missing what truly drives performance: employee well-being, team capacity, and candidate quality. More dashboards won’t fix that. Better data storytelling will.
Join us for a live, candid conversation with industry experts who’ve solved this puzzle. Learn which metrics reveal burnout before it happens, how to spot low-quality and AI-generated resumes in your pipeline, and, most importantly, how to build a business case leadership can’t ignore. Walk away with practical tools you can implement immediately, not another system to manage.
What you’ll learn
The hidden metrics revealing team capacity and burnout signals
How to spot low-quality and AI-generated resumes in your data
Candidate engagement signals that actually predict successful hires
The data story that turns recruiting insights into leadership buy-in
Get practical, immediately-actionable insights you can implement in your recruiting process today.

Apply automation in intentional ways that enhance, not replace, the human touch
