Everyone know’s the search landscape has fundamentally shifted.
In 2026, candidates are no longer typing keywords into Google – they are asking AI assistants where to work, who pays fairly, and which cultures actually thrive. If your recruitment marketing strategy still revolves around traditional SEO alone, you are optimising for a shrinking platform while missing the one that is exploding.
Join us for a critical livestream exploring the new battleground between Generative Engine Optimisation and classic Search Engine Optimisation.
• Why keyword density is dying while entity recognition and semantic context dominate AI search
• How AI engines summarize your employer brand without ever sending traffic to your career site
• The structured data revolution: schema markup that helps LLMs cite your jobs and culture pages
• From backlinks to citations: how GEO rewards authoritative mentions differently than SEO
• The zero-click crisis: when candidates get salary and culture answers without visiting your ATS
• Voice and conversational search: optimising for “best places to work near me” spoken to assistants
• Content architecture: why job descriptions must be parsed by machines before they impress humans
• The trust equation: how AI models rank employers based on aggregated web sentiment and reviews
• Measurement mismatch: why ranking #1 in Google matters less when ChatGPT answers the query first
• Budget reallocation frameworks: splitting your 2026 spend between discoverability and generative authority
The recruiters who win 2026 will not be those with the most backlinks – they will be the ones AI systems confidently recommend to curious candidates. Do not let your employer brand become invisible in the generative search revolution. We’re on Friday 12th June, 2pm BST.
