Transform Talent Acquisition to Build Future-Ready Skilled Trade Talent Pipelines With AI-Driven Efficiencies & Deployed Smarter, Sustainable Strategies to Tackle Labor Shortages & Accelerate Project Delivery
LEAP TA: Construction returned for its 5th year at a pivotal moment - one where fully leveraging AI, adopting new technologies, and rethinking employer branding were no longer optional but essential to engaging the next generation and boosting efficiency across the hiring lifecycle.
The industry continued 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 lay in transforming how construction organizations attract and compete for talent.
This energizing three-day forum brought together an elite community of 150+ TA leaders from construction firms across the US to explore practical, proven strategies that modernized sourcing, streamlined recruitment, enhanced candidate matching, and elevated brand perception among younger and more diverse talent pools.
Through real-world case studies, hands-on insights, and powerful peer exchange, you learned how forward-thinking companies were building sustainable pipelines, amplifying their employer value proposition, and applying AI to unlock new levels of productivity and effectiveness.
If you were ready to reimagine your approach, strengthen your competitive edge, and find new solutions to today’s toughest construction hiring challenges’, this was the one event you couldn’t afford to miss.
