Labour market speaker
A labour market speaker who redefines the shortage.
Not a shortage of people, but a shortage of visibility on talent. Laurens Waling shows organisations how to read the labour market differently — and act on it too.
Not a shortage of people, but a shortage of visibility on talent. Laurens Waling shows organisations how to read the labour market differently — and act on it too.
His favourite example on stage. On paper: a completely different job. In skills: 80% overlap. Once you look at tasks and potential instead of diplomas and job titles, you suddenly see thousands of matches like this on the labour market. The best person for every job, and the best job for every person.
More vacancies, more recruitment budget, more of the same. In this keynote Laurens flips the question: it’s not a capacity problem, it’s an organisational one. Using recognisable examples, he shows how work becomes agile once you detach it from fixed jobs.
Not with more vacancies. Not with scattered AI pilots. But with different choices about tasks, skills and deployment.
“Laurens held up a well-deserved mirror to us in a fantastic presentation on AI developments in recruitment. He sharply showed what this means for hiring today. He prompts reflection and action.”
Tell me about your audience and programme, and I’ll immediately think along about the format. Short lines, quick response.
