Where Are We Headed?

Explore the active and emerging trends that will influence and shape talent strategies

Kevin Wheeler will take you on an exploration of emerging workforce trends and how they’ll influence your talent strategy. As founder of the Future of Talent, Kevin brings to the forefront trends that influence talent practices across recruiting and development. Kevin’s work is always evolving and has a great deal to offer up on emerging and existing trends that will influence how companies think about talent management.

Sacred Cow Tipping

The buzz about social media in recruiting has reached such a fever pitch that meaning, relevancy, and results, have become lost in the storm.  The goal for this presentation is to expand and clarify your understanding of what Social Recruiting really means and can be.   No cow is sacred in this discussion as Josh takes you through a ground level, day to day view of his experiences with “social recruiting” at one of the top social media savvy companies.

Don Ramer CEO and Founder, Arbita

Game-Changing Recruiting Shifts

Perhaps it is an escalation of the "War for Talent" or maybe an after- effect of Web 2.0 advances, but it is clear that the recruiting function is currently experiencing unprecedented change.  This provocative session will highlight the innovative trends helping to accelerate productivity in the online recruiting process.

PLEASE NOTE: Registration will not be open until 2 PM today.
