WiBF’s Webinars Return

We're delighted to announce the return of our highly anticipated free webinars after a brief break.

Last Tuesday we had over 60 participants join us live for our session titled "The New Era Of Recruitment: What It Means For Hirers & Job Seekers" featuring Rebecca Percossi . The online webinar was nothing short of captivating as Rebecca delved into the topic of skill-based recruiting, a revolutionary approach that prioritises candidates' abilities over conventional markers such as education and past work experience.


As Executive Managing Director at Trimont , Rebecca shared invaluable insights into her organisation's ground-breaking strategy, shedding light on how skill-based recruitment has transformed the hiring landscape for both recruiters and job seekers. Those who attended live had the unique opportunity to actively engage in the discussion, posing questions and gaining deeper insights.

For those who missed out on the live session, fret not! You can now catch up on all the enlightening discussions via WiBF on Demand on the Member Dashboard.
