The Tech Breakfast - building the next phase of your recruitment business for the future

Our recent breakfast event in London brought together recruitment leaders eager to explore the future of scaling without simply adding headcount.Over coffee and a bite to eat, we shared practical, real-world examples of how technology can power growth, from automated data capture and AI-driven candidate matching to chat-led screening that accelerates placements, boosts margins, and frees consultants to focus on high-value work.Chris Kendrick, Mercury CEO, then delivered a short, attention-grabbing live demo of our AI technology in action, showing exactly how it learns, searches, matches, and engages in real time. It was a moment that had the room leaning in, imagining how these capabilities could transform their own operations.The conversation was lively, with plenty of questions and discussion that showed just how ready the industry is to embrace intelligent automation:We examined how AI can learn from candidates who have already been screened, saving time and avoiding awkward interactions; the extent to which processes can be truly automated; and the role of autonomous Agents in recruitment.We know that Recruitment businesses that put technology at the heart of their operations are already seeing faster, smarter, and more profitable results. It was clear from the conversations in the room that profound change is coming fast - and recruitment leaders are keen to embrace it.If you’re planning your next phase of growth, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
