About this episode

Nitin speaks with Jeremy Snell of Your People Engine about the future of recruitment and what separates top performers from the rest. Jeremy discusses how recruitment is shifting from process-driven to performance-driven models, the rise of blended learning, and how storytelling and internal knowledge-sharing can drive growth. He explores AI's role in eliminating administrative work whilst exposing underperformers, and introduces the concept of "heroic work" in recruitment.

The conversation covers significant industry changes including the potential disappearance of traditional TA teams, the evolution towards IP-led consultancy-style businesses, and emerging revenue streams from freelance, contract and outcome-based work. Jeremy emphasises that whilst the easy billing days are over, the future presents substantial opportunities for recruiters willing to adapt and evolve.

Key takeaways

  • Recruitment is shifting from process-driven to performance-driven models, changing how agencies operate fundamentally.
  • AI will eliminate administrative work but expose underperformers, requiring recruiters to deliver greater value.
  • Blended learning combining physical and digital training is more effective than traditional approaches alone.
  • TA teams may disappear as agencies move towards IP-led, consultancy-style business models.
  • New revenue streams from freelance, contract and outcome-based work represent overlooked growth opportunities.
