Senior VP and Managing Director at Volt International, Ben Batten is joining the Global Recruiter virtual round table to discuss the current and future challenges for recruiters concerned with high volume, temporary workforces.

Before the pandemic, The Global Recruiter ran a series of round tables under the title of Recruitment Live. Held in association with leading industry suppliers, they were an opportunity for recruitment professionals to meet and discuss issues around the industry. It was a chance to raise challenges, discuss ideas and share views with others from the industry. We’ve now moved these discussions online, and in this session we want to look at the challenge of talent management for recruiters working for high volume temporary workforces – from sourcing through to placement.
