A masterclass exploring how data and neuroscience are reshaping recruitment and workforce performance is coming to Cardiff’s Tramshed Tech on Thursday 24th April.
Hosted by Cognisess Consult, the session “Driving Talent Success Through People Analytics” is aimed at HR Directors, Talent Acquisition leaders, CEOs, and business owners seeking to improve hiring outcomes, reduce staff turnover, and build future-ready teams. Tickets are priced at £50.
The event will be led by Dr. Jared Skey, Chief Growth Officer at Cognisess and a former IBM consultant. Drawing on his experience working with major global brands including IHG Hotels & Resorts, TikTok, ABInBev, and Barclays, Dr. Skey will demonstrate how predictive people analytics is helping organisations make smarter, more human decisions around hiring and retention.
One of the standout case studies will be shared during the session, Barclays used people analytics to cut attrition in half within 12 months, saving the bank over £2 million in wasted recruitment and training costs.
“The real shift we supported at Barclays was moving from ‘Can this person do the job?’ to ‘Will they enjoy the job?’ That mindset, backed by data, changes everything,” said Dr. Skey.
The two-hour masterclass will give attendees a first-hand look at the tools, methodologies, and strategies behind these results, with a focus on neuroscience, video profiling, and game-based assessments.
With rising costs, skills shortages, and hybrid working models all putting pressure on talent strategies, the session is expected to draw significant interest from Welsh employers looking to stay competitive.
Organisers say the session will be particularly relevant for leaders committed to building resilient, high-performing teams in the face of rapid workplace change.
“HR and business leaders are under more pressure than ever to make smart, fast, and fair decisions about their people,” said Dr. Skey. “This masterclass is about giving them the insights and tools to do exactly that.”
