Why HR teams should pay attention

3. Create a three-episode employer content mini-series to test creator funnels (creator monetization).

Final analysis

The summit emphasized that recruitment is now a product and that product thinking — marketplace design, creator funnels, governance — matters. Sri Lankan HR leaders who act on these signals will accelerate sourcing and improve retention with minimal incremental spend.
