New Strategies for Winning Recruitment in 2026

The recruitment landscape is rapidly evolving, particularly as we approach 2026. Understanding this new terrain is crucial for HR professionals and business leaders. To address the challenges posed by an increasingly competitive job market, a free online seminar named "Winning Recruitment in 2026" is set for December 18, 2025.

Seminar Overview

The seminar is organized by CoreKara, in collaboration with ABABA and Something Fun, and aims at presenting groundbreaking recruitment strategies to secure top talents in both new graduates and mid-career hires. The event will feature a lineup of expert speakers who will share their insights and actionable plans to tackle the upcoming challenges in recruitment.

Key Changes in Recruitment Landscape

In recent years, we’ve seen seismic shifts in recruitment trends, including the early start of new graduate hiring, a growing pool of passive candidates in the mid-career market, and increasing variations in workplace expectations. Relying on a singular recruitment channel is no longer sufficient. These changes signal a notable transformation, particularly in 2026, which is expected to further amplify competition for talent.

Addressing Common Recruitment Challenges

During the seminar, participants will likely resonate with worries such as,

• - Low brand recognition leading to limited applicant interest.
• - Small HR teams that struggle to allocate enough resources effectively.
• - A need to maximize efficiency while operating within tight budgets.

These challenges underscore the urgency for businesses to adopt innovative recruitment strategies to remain competitive in the talent acquisition race.
