Any path. Ready to rethink your hiring strategy?

The moment a candidate hits “apply,” it’s make or break.

Traditional hiring funnels still sort talent by job type -contract, full-time, gig – creating friction and missing the point. But talent doesn’t think in categories. They think in capabilities.

This session is all about the strategic shift: from siloed hiring to skills-based, from multiple systems to one seamless experience. Leading brands are rethinking everything—starting with a single entry point for every role, powered by smart tech.

One profile. One Doorway. Any path.

If your hiring strategy starts with a label, you’re already behind.
