Webinar - Beyond the Resume: How Social Media and Culture Fit Are Shaping the Future of Hiring in Irrigation

About the webinar

Irrigation Australia invites you to a free webinar on Wednesday the 20th of August at 1:00 PM (AEST), hosted by Goheadhunt. The session will cover:

  • The hiring shift - Why employers must stop hiring solely on technical skills, and what’s working instead.
  • Culture fit first - How to assess mindset, values, and behaviour before capability.
  • Using social media to attract the right talent - A case study of Goheadhunt & Irrigation Australia’s campaigns.
  • Video interviews and storytelling - Why showcasing personality matters more than ever in workforce development.
  • The rise of practice interviews - How giving candidates a voice changes hiring outcomes.
  • Q&A

Why this will attract employers

  • The Jobs 2025 report highlights increased demand for human-centred skills, adaptability, and people-focused roles, especially in sectors like irrigation, which require resilience, collaboration, and practical problem-solving.
  • Many employers are struggling to attract younger talent and career switchers, this webinar offers real solutions.
  • Social media as a recruitment tool is underutilised in traditional industries; showing its power in targeted campaigns adds massive value. 

What to expect

The webinar will be held over Microsoft Teams. There are some ground rules to ensure everyone is treated respectfully and questions will be welcome, lodged through the chat function. The link to join the webinar will be sent closer to the event date so please keep an eye out for our email.
