James Williams

Head of Talent Acquisition - Australia & New Zealand, Johnson & Johnson

Case Study: Improving the candidate experience journey through feedback and benchmark data

For Johnson & Johnson, 2017 was the year of the candidate. It was an opportunity for the TA function to better understand how their processes were viewed on the external market and how this was impacting their candidates. This started their journey to discover how we could improve their candidate experience and address the real life challenges that their future employees were experiencing. James will share the stage with Kevin Grossman, Talent Board’s President of Global Programs, in this session to share how important gathering candidate feedback is and their journey so far.

Workshop: Hello A.I. Enabled Sourcing, Goodbye Boolean Expert

Today, A.I. produces the same results instantaneously but also does the screening and benchmarking for you, making everyone an expert Sourcer. Are you ready to put your feet up as your Sourcing Assistant operates 24/7 with 10X faster results? Join Andy to find out more.

Tim Grogan

Asia Pacific Regional Leader, LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Success in the era of talent intelligence

We are in an era of Talent intelligence where companies are turning to data solutions and artificial intelligence to source, hire and retain talent. As part of this, talent leaders have to shift from traditional methods such as simply evaluating a candidate’s last job or current skillset, to assessing where new talent pools are, identifying what skills gaps currently exist, and evaluating if the candidate has skills that can be transformed to fit a different role within the company. Join Tim Grogan’s session and learn how to succeed in this new era of talent intelligence.

Lee-Martin Seymour

CEO & Co-Founder, Xref

Breakout: Bots can’t tell stories 

Life lessons can’t be coded and bots can’t tell stories so why, with storytelling at the foundation of the recruitment process for both recruiters and candidates, are we so worried about “when the bots will take over”? During this interactive session, Lee-Martin Seymour will tackle a rising concern over the loss of human skills in the human resources profession, and uncover the point at which human experience must be applied to tech smarts to maintain control of the recruitment process. Lee-Martin Seymour: “We might use technology to speed up the dating process, but we need to be human to win love. We have learned this lesson before.”

Antony Ugoni

Head of Marketplace Analytics, SEEK Limited

Prue Slaughter

National Programs Manager, Employment & Education, Soldier On

Case Study: Launchpad: How hiring and onboarding Australian Service Personnel can strengthen your business

Service personnel have undergone a superior level of training which has taught them to handle a variety of situations, often under very demanding circumstances. These unique skills are able to be transferred to the corporate sector, if they are properly understood by both the employer and the service person. In this interactive session, Prue will explain what some of these skills are and explore how you can make your business stronger by hiring ex-service personnel. She will also outline a core area of Soldier On’s services; assisting service personnel in their career transition process and providing free support to corporate Australia through the Soldier On Pledge Program.

Dr Nathan Mondragon

Chief IO Psychologist, HireVue

Breakout: Hiring and A.I.: Inherent Bias vs. Deliberate Neutrality in A.I.-Based Assessments

Interviews and people are subject to inherent – and often unconscious bias. Can artificial intelligence help or is it also inherently biased? HireVue’s Dr. Nathan Mondragon will explore how machines can complement humans to help create organisations where every hire is based on candidates’ skills and potential, not just what’s on paper – and never on conscious and unconscious biases. Inside top global companies today, A.I.-driven video assessments are being designed and delivered specifically to reduce bias and increase diversity in hiring. In fact, the combination of highly scalable A.I. assessments and highly skilled human evaluators can divide and conquer the work of recruiting, increasing diversity while significantly reducing the time spent on screening.
