For a long time, one of the major competitive advantages of the headhunters has been provided by their candidates’ databases. The disruption wave brought by the social networks has not spared this activity and today, the greatest resume database as well as the biggest professional forum is free and available to all. Yet, the industry of professional recruiting is not going bad at all. What are the strategies that the recruiting firms have developed to continue to be indispensable to most companies? What are the consequences for the candidates?

To answer these questions, a diversified and international panel will highlight the options that their own recruiting firms have implemented, will debate the current and future trends, and will answer your questions, both from a potential client perspective and/or a candidate point of view.
