One place in business that has proven resistant to this flow of ideas is recruitment.

Keynote speaker Jim Stroud (US) Robots, artificial intelligence, autonomous cars... Some would suggest that the battle lines are already drawn between man and machine with non-techies suffering as casualties of war. Others would have us believe that man's survival is dependent on a new definition of humanity itself. Whereas another point of view dictates we should outsource all work to machines and focus our energies on the overall improvement of society. No matter which theory of tomorrow proves true, there is the constant of work and how we as recruiters can best prepare for it. So, how do you source for a world run by robots and automation? Jim Stroud, Global Head of Sourcing and Recruiting Strategy at Randstad Sourceright, ponders sourcing and recruitment strategies for our rapidly changing techno culture in a most unusual way. Whether what comes next is a battle of man vs machine, man working alongside machines or man becoming machines, this presentation will open your eyes to how you can best plan your workforce for the wondrous days to come.

Keynote speaker Elin Oberg (SE) Imagine if there was only ONE true recruitment process to find that unique talent for that very specific position in a particular company. A process where you would be able to tailor the exact 'DNA' of the position to match with the exact persona of the talent, that ONE specific person you want to recruit. Imagine if the recruitment process, on its own, selected a composition of talents to create more dynamic and successful teams. Imagine if the recruitment process changed the way companies operate. Imagine if the recruitment process, in the long run, changed the world. Elin calls this recruitopia. In the future, it's all possible.

The day covered both Talent Management, Employer Branding, Big Data and the use of social media. Definitely an inspiring day with relevant keynote speakers." Sarah Øgaard Olsen, Talent Acquisition Manager, Dansk Supermarked
“I attended NRD 2016 because it is an event where you can both network and get information on the “latest news” in the industry. The speakers were great and inspirational, and I think it was a good program with time to network. Nordic Recruitment Day provides a good opportunity for the sharing of knowledge and experience because you meet a lot of people who have the same challenges in their everyday life.“ Karna Vejborg, Recruitment Manager, ALK Abelló.
“I participated at the Nordic Recruitment Day 2016 in order to get new inspiration and new tools which I definitely got out of the day. The themes and speeches were, in many ways, an eye-opener for me and now I have input, motivation and tools to work more with data-driven HR in my everyday life. I would definitely recommend others to participate at Nordic Recruitment Days.” Mads Edvard, Global Recruitment Partner, Designit.
“The annual Recruitment Day introduces a broad range of concepts and tools, and insists on presenting the cutting edge trends and principles - and not just the useful regular knowledge. I was inspired of how some companies manage to map international sourcing channels in a structured way - and how strategic Talent Acquisition was handled in a smart way by a leading international online business. I plan to attend again to expand my horizons.” Martin B. Arvidsen, Global Talent Acquisition Manager, GN Store Nord
