Ep 209 – The Future of Recruitment: A Candid Chat with Charles Cameron

Today’s ep is in conversation with Charles Cameron, CEO of the RCSA (Recruitment, Consulting, and Staffing Association), where he shares insights into the recruitment industry’s evolution, challenges, and future direction.

The RCSA is the peak body representing around 1,000 companies across Australia and New Zealand. A major part of the RCSA’s role is protecting the industry from damaging regulation, often operating behind the scenes to lobby and advocate for sensible policy that allows businesses to thrive without unnecessary red tape.

Tune in as we discuss:

👉 Communication challenges: It’s harder to communicate clearly in today’s noisy, misinformation-heavy environment. 

👉 Industry changes: While recruitment fundamentals remain strong, the industry is being disrupted by technology, AI, regulation, and companies increasingly insourcing recruitment.

👉 Recruiter innovation: Agencies must evolve and innovate to stay relevant or risk becoming obsolete in a tightening market.

👉 TalentX 2025: The next event features speakers on entrepreneurship, mindset, neurodiversity, and practical skills like billing and compliance. Buy tickets here: https://rcsa.eventsair.com/au-talent-x-2025/tickets
