You leave a conference with plenty of ideas. Working out which ones to put into practice takes a little more time. To help, we’ve brought together resources from the sponsors who shared their thinking on stage at ATC2026. Each links back to the technology that powers the topics explored. Enjoy the Research, Frameworks, Checklists and Tools to help you take the conversation into your own team.
As recruitment volume and complexity increased, so did the pressure on consistency, timeliness and care. Candidate experience risked becoming fragmented and overly dependent on the capability of individual hiring managers. Each set out to move from a variable, manual approach towards a consistent, inclusive and scalable candidate experience that could be maintained regardless of role, location or hiring leader.

CPP operates in one of Australia’s most constrained labour markets. The national energy transition is accelerating demand for engineering, construction and infrastructure professionals at a rate that the available talent market cannot easily support.

I am old enough to remember recruiting before any ATS systems or computers. We had file cabinets, folders, and Rolodexes for contact information.
I think it was around 1990 when Resumix, one of the first ATSs, appeared. Its resume-parsing/extraction technology promised to make it easy to search resumes and connect with candidates. It was revolutionary and exciting. We felt like we were on the cusp of an easier, more automated life. It didn’t prove to be either easier or more automated. It actually created more work. Not much different in a way than some recruiters now feel about AI.
