Beyond the CV: The Rise of the Talent Architect Sponsored by Compono
Recruitment is changing - and so are client expectations. Agencies that rely on transactional tactics like floating CVs and filling roles are being left behind. Too often, firms claim to “partner” with clients after a quick office visit and a coffee, mistaking surface-level rapport for true cultural insight.
In this session, Rudy Crous, CEO and corporate psychologist at Compono, challenges the outdated model and shares a compelling case study of how one recruiter embedded themselves into a client’s business to solve a deeper organisational problem. Using behavioural data and team analytics, this recruiter moved beyond resumé-matching and helped redesign a dysfunctional team - shifting the perception of the recruitment function from tactical to transformational. Join this session to discover how you can use technology to go deeper, deliver greater value, and position yourself not just as a recruiter, but as a strategic architect of high-performing teams.
