Henley Research directors Helen Davies and Diana Watson (pictured) were amongst many recruitment and talent acquisition professionals attending RecFest at Knebworth Park in Hertfordshire on 6 July 2023. RecFest is a great forum for networking with peers and comparing notes, as well as learning about the latest trends and developments within the sector.
Wednesday 10 May 2023 – Mark Senior, Managing Director of Henley Research International, spoke about the 20 year history of the ERA (Executive Research Association) at the ERA’s Annual Conference held at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London.
He highlighted huge changes in executive research over 20 years, in particular advancements in technology and the impact each of these has had – mobile phones, social media, AI, the internet and big data analytics. He stressed that, whilst technology will continue to change the way researchers operate, providing easier and quicker access to data, strong interpersonal contact would remain at the heart of great executive research and talent insight.
The ERA is a network of research and resourcing professionals promoting excellence, providing a forum and supporting members in the sourcing of global talent.
Without the right data, recruitment and retention is significantly more challenging.
