For the past few years, talent acquisition teams have been bolting AI tools onto their existing tech stacks – an AI scheduler here, a chatbot there, a CV parser with some machine learning sprinkled on top. It’s worked, sort of!
But we’re now entering the agentic AI era, where autonomous AI agents don’t just assist with tasks; they execute entire workflows, hand off work to other agents, and make decisions that ripple across your entire hiring process.
The question is no longer “Which AI tool should we buy?” but “How do we architect a system where multiple AI agents actually talk to each other?” A disconnected stack of point solutions risks creating more friction than it solves, while a well-designed multi-agent ecosystem could fundamentally reshape how recruiting gets done. In this session, we’ll explore what it takes to build a TA tech stack that isn’t just AI-enabled – it’s agentic by design.
Key Themes We’ll Cover:
The Point Solution Problem – Why your current stack of disconnected AI tools is creating data silos, workflow gaps, and a fragmented candidate experience
What “Agentic AI” Actually Means for TA – Moving beyond chatbots and auto-schedulers to autonomous agents that can source, screen, engage, and coordinate across the hiring funnel
Multi-Agent Architecture 101 – The key design principles for getting AI agents to communicate, delegate, and collaborate without creating chaos
The Integration Imperative – Why your ATS, CRM, assessment platform, and HRIS need to become agent-friendly, and what that looks like in practice
Orchestration vs. Automation – How multi-agent ecosystems differ from traditional workflow automation, and why the distinction matters for scale
Governance in a Multi-Agent World – Who’s accountable when one agent’s output becomes another agent’s input? Building oversight without killing speed
Vendor Landscape Shifts – Which platforms are pivoting toward agentic ecosystems and which are clinging to the old single-tool model
The Recruiter’s Role in an Agentic Stack – How the job changes when agents handle execution and recruiters focus on strategy, relationship, and judgment
Building Your Roadmap – Practical steps to audit your current stack, identify integration gaps, and prioritise investments for an agentic future
Whether you’re a TA leader planning next year’s tech budget, a recruiter wondering how your workflow is about to change, or an operations specialist trying to make sense of the vendor noise, this session will give you a clear framework for thinking about your stack in the agentic era.
The shift from disconnected tools to intelligent ecosystems is happening fast – don’t get left stitching together point solutions while your competitors build agent armies.
We’re on Friday 11th September, 2pm BST.
