Tariffs, Talent, and Tensions: How Policy is Rewiring the Future of Recruiting
As global economic policies shift and U.S. tariffs rise, the ripple effects are being felt far beyond trade and manufacturing. Talent acquisition leaders are facing hiring slowdowns, budget constraints, and increased uncertainty—particularly in sectors like automotive and tech. This timely panel brings together industry voices from both sides of the Atlantic to unpack how recent tariffs, DEI and immigration policy changes are reshaping hiring strategies, delaying growth, and forcing companies to rethink how and where they build teams.
Jacob Chavarria (Talent Lead at Drivemode/Honda), Matt Alder (UK-based recruiting strategist, podcaster and futurist), and Gerry Crispin (Principal & Co-Founder of CareerXroads) will explore the complex intersections of geopolitics, labor markets, and recruiting. We’ll discuss the real-world impacts of the latest trade and immigration policy shifts, how companies can balance long-term workforce strategies with short-term market instability, and what DEI looks like in a time of economic nationalism.
