A Round-up of the Resourcing Leaders Summit
Whitstable 2025
The Resourcing Leaders Summit at Whitstable delivered two unforgettable days of connection, insight, and forward-thinking conversation — and we’re still buzzing from the energy!
More than just another industry event, the Summit brought together some of the brightest minds in Talent Acquisition for candid, unfiltered discussions that challenged the status quo and pushed boundaries. From AI-driven hiring practices to the global forces reshaping how we recruit, every session sparked bold ideas and meaningful debate.
But what truly set Whitstable apart was the atmosphere. Whether during thought-provoking talks, dynamic roundtables, or sharing food and conversation at JoJo’s, the sense of openness, collaboration, and shared passion for the future of TA was undeniable.
