Key Sessions:

Escape the hiring black box: how to get hiring managers engaged

• Hiring managers complain about how long it takes to hire someone for their team. But they don’t realise the role they play in that outcome.
• Hear from Pinpoint CEO Tom Hacquoil on how to shine a light for hiring managers so they can see why greater engagement is more than worth their time.

Crafting relevant candidate experience at scale: The blueprint for successful Talent Attraction

• As the battle for talent intensifies, how can you ensure your recruitment efforts are not only targeted but also scalable?
• Jennifer Johansson, Founder & CEO of Placed will explore the intersection of creating relevant candidate experiences and leveraging programmatic sourcing to revolutionise your talent attraction strategy.

What on earth is an employer proposition anyway?

• The power of storytelling. Better articulating your employer proposition by understanding the chapters, narrative and title or your employer story.
• Mark Beavan, Head of Agency, That Little Agency will use real world case studies to talk through how to understanding what it is that makes you a great place to work, turning this into meaningful communications messaging and building the platforms on which to tell your story.

Hire power: evaluating your talent assessment landscape

• Facilitated by Talogy Managing Director, Krithika Barcham, we will be inviting our panel guests to talk about the ‘Hire power’ they can derive from evaluating their process.
• This panel discussion revolves around volume and early careers assessment strategy, nodding to the use of psychometrics, establishment of what criteria and frameworks candidates are being assessed against, the success of these, and the landscape for talent assessment.
