aer studios is sponsoring Create Day at Brazen.

During the week long festival of events, we’re hosting a panel discussion on how today’s leaders can adapt their hiring to accommodate the changes we’re all seeing in the landscape. You can find out more from the event synopsis below.

Technology is changing the skills organisations need, but our approaches to attracting and selecting talent don’t always move at the same pace. We continue to hire against familiar job descriptions, prioritise traditional qualifications and experience, and use recruitment processes designed for a very different world of work.

At the same time, a new generation is entering the workforce with different expectations, different experiences and a different relationship with technology. So what should organisations actually be looking for, and are we getting good at recognising potential when it doesn’t look like the traditional candidate?

Join aer studios and UX Crunch for a morning exploring how organisations can rethink the way they attract, assess and develop talent. We’ll hear from experts on the changing skills landscape, what young talent wants from employers, and what businesses actually need from the next generation.

Then we’ll turn the conversation into a practical challenge. Working collaboratively, we’ll take a conventional role and redesign it for the workforce we need next: questioning what experience is genuinely essential, what can be taught, which skills matter most, and whether our recruitment processes are actually helping us find the right people.

Because if the world of work has changed, perhaps it’s time we changed how we hire for it.
