TALiNT Partners definitely covered some ground this month having hosted industry leader dinners from Frankfurt to Minneapolis. Global challenges remain the same: the topics of skills shortages and a looming recession dominated conversations on both sides of the Pond but it wasn’t all doom and gloom as guests broke bread and made the most of the opportunity to network with peers.

TALINT PARTNERS AND EIGHTFOLD.AI HOSTED A DINNER ON CREATIVE TALENT ACQUISITION TO TACKLE SKILL SCARCITY IN THE DACH REGION. We were dining in the UK and dining in Europe.

TALINT PARTNERS AND CORNERSTONE HOSTED A LIVELY AND INTERESTING DINNER IN THE VERY SUAVE PRIVATE DINING ROOM OF THE IVY IN LONDON. We talked about the essential use of Talent Intelligence when it comes to strategy and workforce planning, the clash of cultures we’re seeing with yet another ‘way of working shift with employers fuelling the return to in-person working and of course, ChatGPT and whether it’s aiding or hindering workflows… The shepherd’s pie was delicious. We always feel as if we’re cheating on the Beaumont’s shepherd’s pie, but both are equally decadent. (If you know, you know!)
