Carmen Hudson - Recruiting Toolbox, Inc.Summary:
7 Habits of Highly Effective Diversity Sourcers
Back in the late 80s, Steven Covey published the most successful book of all time. While it sounds preposterous that a book written 28 years ago is relevant to modern day sourcing, it turns out that Covey offers the perfect framework for recruiters and sourcers attempting to diversify the workforce.
During this session, Carmen will share her experiences, some successful – and unsuccessful – approaches attracting, finding and hiring diverse candidates. Carmen will share what she has learned and why she thinks 7 Habits of Highly Successful People is the perfect lens through which to examine diversity recruiting practices.

Make ‘Candidate Experience’ happen
We know people have crappy candidate experiences and whilst we never set out to cause this – it happens.

Troy Hammond - Talent ArmySummary:
The Virtual Reality of Diversity: Helping a world leading global startup create a diverse workplace from day one.
Troy will present a case study on how he has helped to create and foster diversity in 8i, which is a world leading global startup based in Wellington NZ, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.
Troy joined 8i as the Head of Talent with 9 employees in Wellington and has helped them grow to almost 100 people across multiple locations in under one year.
Finding candidates in Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality is hard enough, though when you make a commitment to ensuring your workplace is committed to diversity this makes things almost impossible.
It has been a challenging year to set this team up, though Troy will talk you through why this has enabled 8i to scale faster and better than any tech startup in NZ by doing this.
In this case study you will see:
The 8i Business case for diversity
- Changing demographics in the workforce
- Building a business case for diversity
How 8i is meeting diversity objectives
- Roles of recruiters and hiring managers
- Finding and using effective recruitment resources
- Measuring diversity efforts and presenting information to management
The ROI on our efforts after the last 12 months

Deep Dive on Alignment
We’ll go deep on the habit of “seeking to understand”. Great recruiting and sourcing happens when we’re all aligned on the candidate profile.

Carrie O’Meara-Malcolm - Xero
Kirsty Towers - XeroSummary:
Beyond Gender – Attracting a Diverse Workforce
A lack of significant gender diversity is a well-known challenge faced by most technology companies, Xero included. Tech companies have historically been predominantly made of young, male Caucasians. At Xero we’ve committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment, recognising that a focus on Diversity and Inclusion is not only a social imperative but will be key driver of our continued innovation and success as a global business.
Our Executive and People Teams have been working from the top down to build company-wide buy-in to the importance of championing Diversity and Inclusion at Xero. Addressing the largest problem first we’ve focused our efforts over the past year on retaining, developing and attracting talented women to our business. We’ve done this through part-time opportunities, new flexible working options, and targetted attraction strategies. The success of our continued gender diversity drive from entry through to senior leadership means that we are now at the leading edge of gender diversity among technology companies, and in a strong position to springboard into a broader Diversity and Inclusion drive for 2017. So what next….?”

Shannon Pritchett - HiretualSummary:
Modern Day Sourcing in an Automated World
Have you heard the news? Sourcing is dead and we will all be replaced by robots! Oh no. Perhaps it was clickbait, or far-fetched drama, or even a little skepticism, however you want to look at it, talent and acquisition is undoubtedly changing, and it’s not frightening, it’s exhilarating.
Over the past year, technology has quickly evolved. Artificial intelligence, chat-bots, machine learning, and robotics are going to take over much of the recruiting and sourcing process. Acting like a robot may finally get us replaced by one. This session will take a look at the technology impacting a modern day sourcer and will provide a survival guide on how to survive the robot apocalypse.
