Opening keynote

It’s time to be bold: The leadership playbook for AI-Driven recruitment agencies

Featuring: Jeff Neumann (SVP Product Marketing, Bullhorn) and Ben Carter (Senior Director – Automation & AI, Bullhorn)

AI is no longer experimental in recruitment—but results aren’t guaranteed. As application volume surges and recruiter capacity is stretched, leading agencies are pulling ahead by combining human recruiters with digital labour and, just as importantly, by having a clear plan for how AI fits into their business.

In this session, Bullhorn’s Jeff Neumann and Ben Carter share real examples of how recruitment agencies are using AI to double recruiter output, improve fill rates, reduce job board dependence, and grow gross profit—even in challenging markets. We’ll explore why database-first recruiting is finally working at scale, how digital agents change recruiter behaviour, and what separates AI success stories from stalled pilots.

Designed for business leaders and recruiting directors, this session delivers a practical roadmap for turning AI from a tool into a competitive advantage and what it actually takes to operationalise AI in recruitment—from the executive suite to the recruiter desk. All without burnout, disruption, or losing focus on what matters most.

Guided roundtable discussion

In this first interactive roundtable, led by Bullhorn Marketplace experts, you’ll discuss with your peers in small, candid groups, where YOU are on your AI journey and learn how other agencies are approaching this fundamental shift. You’ll swap real-world experiences and uncover what’s actually working for agencies. You’ll discuss how bold agencies have tackled the critical foundation every AI strategy depends on – clean, accurate data and how to achieve and maintain it.
