Hiring in 2026 isn’t about doing more, it’s about hiring smarter. The difference comes down to how well your recruitment goals balance speed, quality, and candidate experience.

In this Hire Like a Hero webinar, Employment Hero’s Kate Jolly, Global Head of Talent, and Jenny Williams, Global Talent Acquisition Manager, will break down how to set realistic, measurable recruitment goals for the year ahead.

You’ll learn how to define goals that reflect real hiring conditions, align with business priorities, and support sustainable recruitment outcomes – without burning out your team or compromising the candidate experience.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• The key recruitment goals businesses should be prioritising for 2026
• Metrics that matter: time to hire, quality of hire, candidate experience, and efficiency
• How Employment Hero’s AI and automation tools can support recruitment goals
• Common pitfalls teams fall into when setting recruitment goals, and how to avoid them

Whether you’re refining your recruitment strategy or reviewing your current approach, this session will help you set clearer goals and build a hiring engine that’s fit for 2026 and beyond.
