Upcoming Webinar – Navigating Recruitment in the AI Age – In Partnership with the PPMA
We’re pleased to be partnering with the PPMA (Public Services People Managers Association) for a live webinar exploring one of the most important challenges facing today’s public service employers: how to recruit effectively in an AI-driven world.
Navigating Recruitment in the AI Age
Date: Friday 6th June
Time: 12:00–1:00pm
This insightful session builds on the themes and insights from our recent thought leadership report, CTRL + ALT + LEAD, which explores the shifting expectations on leadership in the digital era. With AI technologies transforming how we work and make decisions, this webinar will examine the practical implications for public sector recruitment — from evolving leadership skillsets to new ethical considerations around bias, transparency, and trust.
The Starfish team will discuss:
-
The impact of AI on leadership behaviours and recruitment processes
-
The risks and rewards of automation in public appointments
-
How hiring organisations can future-proof their approach

We look forward to joining the PPMA and public service colleagues for what promises to be a lively and thought-provoking discussion. Whether you’re in HR, organisational development, or a senior public leadership role, this is an opportunity to engage with emerging thinking and gain practical insight into what comes next.
Boards may be recruiting the wrong leaders for the future – so what needs to change?
Boards often recruit for proven experience, but the future may demand something different. We examine the leadership qualities predicted to matter most by 2035 and how organisations can adapt their approach to finding talent.
Better the Devil They Know?
Senior leaders are proving more reluctant than ever to change jobs. In this article, we explore what's driving executive hesitation and what organisations need to do differently to secure top talent.
Upcoming Webinar – Starfish | City CV Presents: The Perfect Executive CV: The Insider’s Guide to Standing Out
Your CV is more than a list of jobs - it's the story of your career, told the right way. Why does that matter? Because a great CV doesn't just describe what you've done - it shows the value you bring and the impact you'll have next. That means moving beyond job titles and duties to articulate your distinctive skills, your achievements, and the difference you make. It's the difference between a CV that gets read - and one that gets you the interview.
