Day 1: 21st May, 20142:15 pm - 3:00 pmPanel Session: Will Assessment Eliminate Interviews?
Trevor Vas - ATC Events & MediaSummary:
Many manual recruitment processes such as interviewing, resume and telephone screening and assessment centres are dead. However, the industry refuses to read the vital signs and change! There is a view that these manual processes do not significantly add to the body of knowledge about whether to hire a candidate. Instead, sufficient information can be obtained from psychometric assessment when making hiring decisions. In addition these manual processes are expensive and time consuming. Is it time for the Talent Acquisition function to be brave, trust assessment and simplify the recruitment process by using assessment and analytics to inform talent management decisions? Discuss. This panel session will explore this idea and you will be given the chance to add to the lively debate

Detachment is the phase of emotional separation that occurs prior to the decision by an employee to leave an organisation. The critical window of opportunity for organisations to better understand what has caused detachment is at the time of exit.

In this session, Anthony Sork explores Detachment and the exit process in a way that will help you evaluate the strength of your current exit process offering. He will explore the 3 key outcomes a best practice exit process should incorporate to ensure value is created for the employee, the manager and the organisation at this time of transitioning.
