The Only Forum for Faster, Smarter Talent Acquisition Strategies

Transform Talent Acquisition to Build Future-Ready Talent Pipelines With AI-Driven Efficiency & Deploy Smarter, Sustainable Strategies to Tackle Labor Shortages & Accelerate Project Delivery

LEAP TA: Construction returns for its 6th year at a pivotal moment - one where fully leveraging AI, adopting new technologies, and rethinking employer branding are no longer optional but essential to engaging the next generation and boosting efficiency across the hiring lifecycle.

The industry continues to feel the strain of persistent labour shortages, rising costs, and shifting immigration policies. With 439,000 new workers needed this year and 62% of firms citing critical skills gaps, the real opportunity lies in transforming how construction organizations attract and compete for talent.

This energizing three-day forum brings together an elite community of 175+ TA leaders from construction firms across the US to explore practical, proven strategies that modernize sourcing, streamline recruitment, enhance candidate matching, and elevate brand perception among younger and more diverse talent pools.

Through real-world case studies, hands-on insights, and powerful peer exchange, you’ll learn how forward-thinking companies are building sustainable pipelines, amplifying their employer value proposition, and applying AI to unlock new levels of productivity and effectiveness.

If you’re ready to reimagine your approach, strengthen your competitive edge, and find new solutions to today’s toughest construction hiring challenges’, this is the one event you can’t afford to miss.

This has been informative, powerful, humbling and the best conference I’ve attended in my 25-year career. The energy was palpable and its definitely added value to my everyday life. Looking forward to attending again.
