Day 2: 26th May, 20212:45 pm - 3:15 pmHow TA can impact the success of diverse talent post-hire
Michelle Hancic - pymetricsSummary:
The skills shortage has encouraged companies to diversify their pools and adopt greater variations of flexible work. However, to ensure these new hires thrive long term, employers also need to expand their perception and processes about how people match their best-fit jobs and the different ways of working. As the first stage in the talent lifecycle, Talent Acquisition is in a prime position to set the tone for how the organisation can rethink talent.
In this session, learn:
- How to use data to validate and/or challenge your instincts about what is needed to succeed in a role;
- How to provide personalised guidance at scale to support long term success; and
- How to cascade insights into later stages of the talent lifecycle, including L&D and succession planning.

Day 2: 26th May, 20213:20 pm - 3:55 pmThink like a Futurist in an Uncertain Present
Reanna Browne - Work FuturesSummary:
When it comes to the ‘future of work’ it doesn’t unfold chronologically. Like William Gibson suggests, the future is already here, it’s just unevenly distributed! There are pockets of emerging trends creating multiple possible futures of work in the present. Many of these trends are accelerating and bumping into each other, imposing change upon us as an inevitable reality.
As Talent Professionals and the inhabitants of these future worlds of work, wouldn’t it be far smarter (and more fun!) to anticipate, experiment, adapt and lead these changes? You can read someone else’s predictions but…so what? Now what? What does it all mean come Monday? And why should you ‘plan’ for the future when the present is so uncertain?
Let’s get practical about the future of work by using a tested framework to help you anticipate change and act with more resilience and clarity in the present. You’ll walk away knowing:
- The mindset and skills of a trained and practicing Work Futurist;
- How to uncover future potential in the present;
- How to move from grand future of work narratives to resilient talent and HR actions in the present;
- How to ready yourself for a changing world.
Includes a live interactive Q&A.

Eric Sydell - Modern Hire
Rosa Misitano - APA GroupSummary:
If 2020 was about unprecedented challenges and hiring turned upside down, 2021 is about reinvention and transformation. Post-pandemic, technology is now an expected part of the hiring process, meaning that being truly innovative in how your hire is about much more than what you use. As we all prepare for what our new normal is going to actually be, organisations need to consider how they’ll differentiate themselves, provide an outstanding candidate experience and drive better hiring decisions.
Eric Sydell, EVP of Innovation and Rosa Misitano, Campaign & Bulk Recruitment Specialist at APA Group will outline:
- The biggest trends and insights hiring teams should embrace this year; and
- How APA transformed, streamlined and are driving change aligned to new candidate and market expectations.

Day 3: 27th May, 20213:05 pm - 3:45 pmClosing Session: Are you a TA Storyteller or Story-yeller?
Jim D’Amico - CelaneseSummary:
Jim’s talent team, like many others knew how to search, asses and hire but it wasn’t until they adopted a creative and strategic communications approach that they dramatically improved their hiring velocity.
It’s easy to believe we have the perfect job for someone but when you make that your communications approach and you yell your benefits and hyperbole at them, you set yourself up for failure. A well-told and honest story has a much better chance of building trust and succeeding. Learn how Jim and his team built stories that resonate with candidates. An approach that meets the candidate exactly where they are, not where you are.
