9:45 - 10:25 Talent Strategy In the Boardroom and the C-suite

Culture is among the hottest topics in the boardroom and c-suite – for good reason. A company’s intangible assets, such as talent and culture, make up a large percentage of the company’s value. It’s critical to nurture a culture that inspires talent, innovation, and values in an era of fierce competition, globalization, and distributed workforces. This fireside chat will share ideas for how talent leaders can engage with the c-suite and the board to ensure the workforce they build is the best competitive advantage their companies have.

Most recruiters don’t know how to read background check results and end up rejecting candidates who have any blemish on their record.

In today’s tight job market, direct sourcing is a big part of every recruiter’s job.

In this session, be ready to laugh a little, cringe a little and hopefully learn a thing or two as Stacy explores some of the sourcing slip-ups that candidates dislike most and what we should be doing instead to drive engagement from our direct-sourced candidates.
