The labour market is full of talent organisations can’t see, because it’s hidden behind CVs, diplomas and job titles. Laurens Waling shows how to make that talent visible.
For recruitment, internal mobility and retention. The motto of this keynote: the best person for every job, and the best job for every person. Laurens works on this daily as Chief Evangelist at 8vance, where AI makes talent visible that organisations can’t see yet.
His favourite example: the baker who became an EV-charger technician. On paper a completely different job, in skills 80% overlap. Once you look this way, you see thousands of matches like this.
Concrete and jargon-free: how to look past CVs and job titles toward tasks and potential.
Skills-based organising doesn’t begin with recruiting new people, but with seeing who’s already there more clearly.
From Humanitas to university medical centres: examples directly recognisable for your sector.
“Laurens makes topics like AI and skills-based working both accessible and inspiring, with great energy and directly applicable insights.”
Tell me about your audience and programme, and I’ll immediately think along about the format. Short lines, quick response.
