Technology & Innovation – Using Tools, AI & Automation

If you work in executive search, your internal database is your most valuable asset—but it is likely decaying faster than you realise. With B2B contact data losing up to 25% accuracy annually, search firms are facing a quiet crisis of missed candidates, wasted consultant time, and significant lost revenue.  

Join Jason Starr, CEO of Ikiru People Ltd, for an insightful session that explores the financial and operational impact of stale CRM data. Jason will dive into the latest CEO turnover statistics and recruiter behaviour shifts that are making traditional databases obsolete. More importantly, he will demonstrate how Data Enrichment and Data Science can transform legacy database records into a high-performance engine for candidate sourcing.  You will learn about: - The True Financial Burden: Understanding why stale data can cost firms between thousands per consultant every year. - The Limits of Public Data: Why relying solely on LinkedIn and other public platforms leads to incomplete context and sourcing risks. - The Enrichment Solution: How to bridge the gap between legacy CRM data and the live web to achieve over 80% data accuracy. - Driving User Adoption: Strategies to integrate enriched data directly into recruiter workflows via browser extensions and AI-driven tools.  

Don't let data decay undermine your firm's competitive edge. Learn how to reclaim the value of your talent database and drive better outcomes for your clients.
