Day 1: 9th November, 202210:20 am - 10:40 amTalent Acquisition x Creativity: How we can Elevate Experiences
Amy Schultz - CanvaSummary:
What do Airbnb and Canva have in common? People thought the creative idea of renting out your room or house to strangers for short stays was the worst idea in the world and Melanie Perkins, Canva’s CEO, famously received over 100 no’s from investors on her idea to start a creative design company. Turns out creative thinking can lead to designing and delivering something that people actually do want!
With the pace of change in our world, creativity should be in our conversations, in how we approach problems, in how we visually communicate and in how we differentiate ourselves. People often believe they can’t think creatively, because they “aren’t a creative person” and Talent Acquisition isn’t always known for its creativity – in Amy’s session, she’ll bust these myths! You’ll learn skills and daily habits that enable creativity and how Canva uses creativity to create their candidate experiences, collaborate across teams and build their products.

Put your creative problem-solving ideas forward while hiring is at the fore and purse strings can be loosened. Using her own experience and research from the 2nd edition of The Robot-Proof Recruiter, Katrina Collier will share tips & ideas to set TA up for (greater) success in 2023.

She’ll be joined by James Elliott, General Manager Talent Acquisition at CommBank, who will shine a light on what this could mean for TA and how we might plan for the future.

Day 1: 9th November, 202211:30 am - 11:50 amTalent Acquisition Reimagined: Keeping Pace with an Evolving Workforce
Craig Goldblatt - G-PSummary:
A growing preference for flexible work arrangements, increasing travel and movement among workers constantly on the move, and fewer job applicants despite increasing job vacancies – the new world of work has dramatically changed candidates’ expectations for their future employers.
As a result, employers in Australasia are facing considerable challenges as they respond to employees’ evolving needs. In this new world of work, how should business leaders respond and move ahead? How can companies rethink their talent acquisition strategies to keep up with these constant changes and stay ahead of their competition?
In this session, we will explore:
- Critical workplace trends shaping the Australasian talent market
- How to overcome recruitment challenges
- How to respond to employees’ evolving needs and expectations

Tony Hughes - Sales IQ GlobalSummary:
The ability to gain commitment, budget and resources to optimise your Talent Function and achieve your desired TA outcomes is key, yet in many companies 85% of all internal submissions for budget and resources fail.
Tony will teach you how to sell your idea or project internally and positively influence outcomes and specific strategies and frameworks including:
- Talking the language of leaders with the right communication hierarchy
- ‘Flip it’ to break through within the ‘7 second attention clock’ the three questions that reframe commercial conversations
- Understand the four reasons why initiatives stall and die; and what to do about it
- Understand the two essential statements for securing approval

Day 1: 9th November, 20221:30 pm - 2:10 pmTA – EVP Architects or Real Estate Agents? (Room: Crystal Palace UP)
Clint Williams - Lion
Brie Mason - Employer Brand MasonSummary:
The workforce has faced an existential crisis and has had two years to stop and think about what is truly important.
The clash of employee experience versus changing expectations means that creating an EVP that is credible, exciting and relatively constant has become a challenge. TA’s role of EVP Architect has become flawed.
In this buyer’s market, we aren’t in a position to simply renovate the kitchen or add a pool if it’s found that’s what the buyers now want.
Brie and Clint will discuss the need to gain alignment on a change in EVP mindset and approach, and a redefinition of roles and responsibilities.

Day 1: 9th November, 20221:30 pm - 2:10 pmTalent Acquisition as a Supply Chain (Room: Big Top UP)
Kevin Wheeler - Future of Talent InstituteSummary:
Recruiters rarely think about recruiting as a supply chain, yet it is one, and it is as critical as any other. The talent shortage is as much a result of the lack of well thought out talent supply strategy and strategic thinking as it is a shortage of skills.
This session will discuss the six key elements of a supply chain and how recruiters can become better at using technology and improving their processes to think like a supply chain manager rather than a recruiter. This can dramatically change the success of a recruitment function

Josh Secrest - ParadoxSummary:
Imagine automating 90 percent of your hiring process – how many hours per week would your team get back?
Imagine candidates being able to apply, get qualified and interview scheduled in two minutes using text messages – how many more candidates would you have?
Imagine filling roles a couple days after they open- how much more profitable would your business be?
Hear from Josh Secrest, McDonald’s former Head of Global Talent Acquisition & Talent Strategy (and current VP of Marketing & Client Advocacy at Paradox) on how McDonald’s transformed their hiring to make a multi-billion understaffing challenge into a strategic competitive advantage.

Greta Bradman - ReejigSummary:
In a volatile and rapidly changing market, unlocking your people’s potential, minimising unwanted turnover, and creating a workforce of Zero Wasted Potential is vital to the success of your organisation.
It’s never been more important for you to have full visibility of the skills and potential inside your workforce, and adopt a Zero Wasted Potential mindset. Without this, you cannot create meaningful careers for your people, or get the right skills, in the right place, at the right time.
Join Reejig’s VP of Behavioural Science & Impact, Greta Bradman, to understand how unlocking the potential of your people at scale creates substantial and measurable value for the business and for every employee.

Day 2: 10th November, 202210:35 am - 10:55 amYour Difference is your Strength #thefutureisdiverse
Bedi Othow -Summary:
The face of the Australian workforce is changing. The 80s migration boom welcomed a large number of culturally and linguistically diverse groups to Australia and now their kids are graduating universities and entering the workforce. These first generation Australians are amongst the 4 million entering the workforce, replacing 3.6 million Baby Boomers.
GenZ represent 18 per cent of the Australian and 30 per cent of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. More than any other generation before them, they are the most unique, culturally diverse, technological saturated, formally educated generation Australia has ever seen. Are you ready for them? Understanding what has shaped them, what their expectations are and what motivates them is critical to hiring them.
But wait, professional Baby Boomers are not retiring in a traditional way. It’s no longer a hard stop and a gold watch. They also have expectations of flexible and valuable contribution well outside of the 9-5 norm.
Are you ready to tap into your power, the power to be different and stand out from your competitors? The future is diverse and your difference is your strength.

Day 2: 10th November, 202212:10 pm - 12:40 pmResilience 2.0 (Room: Big Top UP)
Dr. Simon Moss - Charles Darwin UniversitySummary:
Organisations spend vast amounts of money on initiatives to enhance the resilience of staff – hoping these initiatives will inspire staff to thrive in the workplace, despite unrelenting workloads, incessant change, and many other pressures.
Resilience 2.0 is an approach that recognises that people cannot experience wellbeing unless, they can resolve the causes of distress: the conflicting goals they need to achieve. This approach helps individuals develop the skills they need to reconcile these conflicts and thrive in the workplace.
Delegates will learn how to enhance their capacity to:
- Reach suitable decisions
- Uncover innovations
- Collaborate effectively, and
- Shape their environment – all strategies that help individuals resolve paradoxes and improve their life circumstances.

Day 2: 10th November, 202212:10 pm - 12:40 pmWorking from Home – the Legal, the Commercial and the Inclusive (Room: Crystal Palace DOWN)
Nick Duggal - Moray & AgnewSummary:
For workplaces where workers can work from home, WFH during the pandemic has been transformative. But now that workers are able to work from an office, can or should they be compelled to do so?
Lawyer and workplace relations specialist Nick Duggal will examine this from several angles, including:
- Is it lawful to now require workers to return to their offices, on a full time basis or otherwise?
- Even if workers can be required to return to the office, should they be made to? Does your policy support maximising worker productivity? Will it affect your company being an employer of choice?
- How can your WFH policy affect diversity? Does it adversely affect working parents, younger workers or workers from certain socioeconomic backgrounds?
By the end of this session, you should have a clear pathway to come to position on WFH that best suits your workplace’s needs.

Day 2: 10th November, 202212:10 pm - 12:40 pmWorkforce Intelligence and how it will Reshape Talent Acquisition (Room: Big Top DOWN)
Belinda Willis - Deloitte
Gareth Flynn - TQ SolutionsSummary:
A new era of Workforce Intelligence has arrived that has the potential to significantly ‘change the game’ for Talent Functions. Having visibility of talent and skills in your entire ecosystem (internal, external, perm, contingent) is increasingly becoming a reality and presents Talent functions with immense opportunity.
As skill supply and demand is better understood, it is possible that workforce planning, talent acquisition and talent management functions have a real shot at morphing to become the ecosystem talent professionals have dreamed of. Gareth Flynn from TQSolutions will discuss in conversation with Belinda Willis, Head of Talent Acquisition at Deloitte, who are on their own workforce intelligence journey.
They will discuss:
- The value and outcomes Workforce Intelligence provides organisations
- Implementation considerations and taking stakeholders on the journey
- Changes to Talent functions and roles
- The technology enabling the intelligence
- Hindsight and lessons learnt

Automating systems can relieve many burdens from a Hiring Team but can fail to deliver enriching experiences.

Lucy Campbell - CappfinitySummary:
Almost 10% of our population changed jobs last year with many re-evaluating what they want from work. Unfilled vacancies are up, unemployment is the lowest in our recruiting careers and competition is fierce. Employers cannot just talk about having a healthy culture or a good work life balance, they must be completely transparent, prove their commitment and ensure culture and values are front and centre for candidates if they are to secure talent. But how?
Lucy will share Cappfinity’s unique ACES approach to recruitment – Authentic, Clear, Experimental and Sustainable – along with actions for making this approach in practice.

- Who cancel interviews last minute and don’t understand the impact this has on employer brand
…and any other situation you have faced & want to bring along!
