Even amid constant economic uncertainty, the most successful and competitive companies continue to invest in their recruiting and retention efforts. Since companies must constantly re-recruit to retain talent acquisition, and talent management professionals are working together to ensure a seamless candidate journey from before day 1 to beyond day 365.
From employer branding to onboarding to internal mobility, employers who establish strong and inclusive company cultures help foster a sense of belonging and commitment among employees. These practices can also create strong brand advocates of candidates who don’t get hired when they feel their candidate experience was positive and fair.
Join #TheCandEs virtually for two days of great speakers and sessions about Competitive Recruiting and Hiring Amid Constant Uncertainty on August 2-3, 2023, from 11 AM ET – 3 PM ET each day.
We are excited for our keynote speakers! Featuring Robin Erickson, Ph.D. (Vice President at The Conference Board), James Ellis (Principal at Employer Brand Labs), and Cathy Henesey, SPHR, SHRM-SCP (Vice-President, Talent Acquisition at AdventHealth).
The agenda and new speakers are now available below! This event will be virtual again and held in the Whova app (where you can attend on your computer, tablet and/or mobile). We will be launching our event app at least 1 week before the virtual conference. The virtual conference will be approved for 3 SHRM & HRCI credits each day as well!
And because it’s summertime and hot everywhere (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), we’re giving away 5 Portable Neck Fans to keep you cool wherever you are!
Can’t make the event live? All of the sessions will be recorded and available to registrants for 3 months, so there is no missing out! Come save your seat today — you have to be registered to get access to any and all sessions.
