Twitter Highlights from #SST15 Auckland!

Our final Sourcing Social Talent conference for 2015 was held in Auckland. We had high hopes for this conference, and the Kiwi’s definitely lived up to our expectations. The delegates were eager to learn, conversational, and all about innovation! In addition to a fabulous audience, our speakers provided insightful views on the future of recruitment and sourcing.
Shannon Pritchett, Chris Hoyt, Bill Boorman and Martin Warren facilitated engaging sessions during our Hackathon, and we saw some fantastic results come out of the challenges presented.
If you had missed out on this event, don’t fret. We have put together a quick summary to get you up to speed on the latest discussions and to help you overcome your FOMO.
Here are some important questions raised, useful advice, key takeaways, and everything in between from the #SST15 Auckland event, as told by Twitter:
