The recruitment sector is splitting in two and when this
happens, the middle often disappears. Time to choose your side
before the market chooses for you!
On one side we see a deeply transactional approach: scrape for
vacancies, scrape for candidates, repeat and hope something
sticks.
It’s all about speed, volume, automation, tech and of course,
AIs.
But on the other side, you have something very different: -
✅ Deep understanding of a niche
✅ Genuine advisory capability
✅ Trusting relationships built over years
✅ Emotional intelligence when stakes are high
✅ Consultancy, not commodity supply
✅ An absolute obsession with quality and high service levels.
Sure, this faction uses AI to amplify their abilities but it’s not
at the core of what they are.
They use specific AI agents to make them more efficient at those
things listed above.
In this episode of the #MARShow we’ll be welcoming Ed Blogg as our
guest.
As the CEO of RecruitHub he’s seeing the market shift first
hand.
I firmly believe that that second lane is where recruiters need to
be to thrive in the New World.
And that is exactly what we’ll be discussing. A clear direction
PLUS plenty of practical steps you can take to make sure you
prosper in 2026 and beyond.
This is happening, better to be on the front foot than late to the
party.
