Andrew has been in the industry over 20 years, initially in agency & executive search before moving in-house in 2012. He’s interested in using data to better align TA strategy and delivery with business needs and enabling the shift of TA from a purely transactional function, to value driven and how it collaborates with TI and TM to contribute to enterprise talent strategy. In his spare time Andrew can sometimes be found sailing on the south coast and if he’s lucky, racing somewhere hot!

What is your prediction for the future of the TA industry?
Development of predictive models to forecast resource needs, talent profiles, candidate success and retention risk. Over next 5 years enterprise TA functions are going to use more AI-powered analytics to inform hiring strategy, leveraging data from performance reviews, engagement scores and more. Noting a big challenge for enterprise is risk appetite, compliance, privacy & infosec given the inherent risk of evolving regulation.
What projects are you planning on working on in 2026?
Deepen relationships with key leadership and demonstrate the value TA delivers. Create collaboration with finance to develop resource planning and align with TA resource and delivery plan. Fundamentals but much needed.
