KEYNOTE Isabel Berwick, Financial Times: State of the Job Market and the Role of AI in Recruitment
Our keynote speaker, Isabel Berwick of the Financial Times, will share her expertise on all things labour market. From ‘the state of the job market’ we may be considering transitioning into, to the increased role of AI in screening applications. You will have opportunities to ask questions and network after this in-person event, or watch along via the online stream.

Isabel Berwick joined the FT in 1999 from the Independent on Sunday, where she was the business editor. She held senior editing roles on FT Weekend and the Opinion desk before becoming Work & Careers editor in 2018, overseeing the FT’s management, leadership and workplace content. She left that role early in 2023 to focus full-time on the Working It brand, including the long running Working It podcast about the workplace and weekly Working It newsletter.

Isabel Berwick leads the FT’s Working It brand, covering the workplace, management and the future of work, across video, audio, events and a weekly Working It newsletter for FT subscribers. Her bestselling book, The Future-Proof Career, will be published in paperback this summer.
