Reimagining the workforce: AI, skills, & services in a disrupted labor market

Today’s labor market is under pressure—from talent shortages and rising expectations to global instability and rapid digital acceleration. What does it take to build a workforce strategy that’s future-ready, flexible, and grounded in real business outcomes?

In this timely CWS Europe panel discussion, senior leaders from Beeline, Hays, Page Outsourcing, and Opptly unpack what’s changing—and what’s next. With over 100 years of combined experience, they explore how companies are navigating workforce disruption by combining data, skills intelligence, and practical innovation.

This isn’t a theoretical session. You’ll hear candid views on the myths and realities of AI, how to move toward skills-based hiring, and where human judgment remains critical.

You’ll learn:

• How leading organizations are using AI today—from candidate matching and job generation to location strategy and internal mobility

• Why 70% of CEOs believe they don’t have the right skills for their business goals over the next five years

• How to move from buzzwords to business value by defining a clear AI use case

• Why skills-based hiring has existed in recruiting for decades, and why it’s now more critical than ever

• What candidates are already doing to surface skills—and how hiring managers, HR, and procurement can catch up

• How to preserve the human role in hiring decisions, even as AI takes on more of the heavy lifting

Why watch now:
Workforce models are shifting,  but not uniformly. Some organizations are pushing ahead with AI, while others are rethinking how they define roles and capabilities. Either way, the stakes are high: better hiring outcomes, smarter workforce investments, and improved agility across functions.
