Keynote Session - Source of Hire versus Experience of Hire
Chris Hoyt - CareerXroads

Summary:

Source of Hire versus Experience of Hire

The importance of a candidate’s experience is proving more important to securing quality hires than the long debated value of a candidate’s source.  Join Chris Hoyt as he shares how global companies are using both simple tactics and/or advanced technology to effectively attract and secure the best talent available.  You’ll learn the reasoning for some surprising tactics that are changing the way people view some employers, how recruiters are approaching a “time to find” metric of zero days and why Chris believes the recruiting funnel as we know it, is broken.

General Session - The job ad is well and truly alive - but it's only one part of the story
Doug Blue - SEEK Employment

Summary:

The job ad is well and truly alive – but it’s only one part of the story

What is the current landscape for the employment marketplace? Today’s media environment is changing previous conventions, and the employment marketplace is demonstrably different to what it was, even the recent past. But what levers can really drive quality placements?  Social digital channels are complementing the job ad and helping to place the candidate at the heart of the recruitment process. The evolution of social also is driving a rise in peer based, review-style decision making, which is a significant and growing feature of the employment marketplace. In a world where candidates and hirers alike are empowered to curate their media experience and niche audiences can be reached through diverse channels, how can we address recruitment in the most effective and powerful way?

Social Track Session 1 - The Cost of Candidate Resentment vs. Improving Candidate Experience
Elaine Orler - Talent Board
Chris Hoyt - CareerXroads

Summary:

The Cost of Candidate Resentment vs. Improving Candidate Experience

How companies communicate rejection can have a serious impact on its bottom line, let alone the candidate experience. And while candidates are likely to share positive experiences, a growing number are also willing to share negative experiences with both their inner circle and social networks. Once public, those poor reviews not only influence an organization’s ability to recruit and hire top performing talent, but can cost the company valuable customers and impede sales.

During this session, Elaine Orler, chairman of the organization behind the Candidate Experience Awards and a recruiting industry luminary, will join Chris Hoyt, partner at CareerXroads, to illustrate what causes candidate resentment and motivates individuals to share their negative experiences. Drawing on five years of CandEs data, Orler will detail the impact that one negative experience can have on both consumer-facing and business-to-business organizations and what companies can do to avoid this issue.

Attendees will also learn how they can calculate the estimated costs of candidate resentment for their own organizations as well as it how it relates to the overall candidate experience.
