Head Hunters Club: Talk on the Evolution of the Executive Search Profession

Is Recruitment Being “Uberized”?
Presentation by François Humblot, Managing Partner at Grant Alexander, at a Head Hunters Club conference.

Is the Debate Between Traditionalists and Modernists Playing Out Again?

On November 8, 2017, François Humblot spoke at the Head Hunters Club about the “Uberization” of the recruitment profession.

Do traditional recruitment practices still make sense in the face of digitization, hyper-connected firms, artificial intelligence (matching, etc.), and new methods such as cooptation? Are they still effective?

What exactly are “traditional practices”? What adds value to these firms, and what justifies their fees depending on the type of profile being recruited?

These are all the questions François Humblot addressed from an expert perspective regarding the Uberization of recruitment.
