If we are to attract and retain the best talent in our organisations, why might our approach to hiring need to change? What can we learn from the most successful and progressive organisations and what new skills and mindsets might in-house recruitment teams need to develop?
The way we work looks a lot different than it did even a few years ago. So, why doesn’t the way we recruit? RecruitCon’s closing keynote will explore how advances in technology, shrinking unemployment, and soaring tuition have transformed what employees expect from an employer, and vice versa—and how those changes can, and should, shape the way you hire. For example, with fewer people able to saddle the rising cost of higher education, coding academies are an increasingly popular alternative to college. Google, Apple, IBM, and others have already dropped their college degree requirements in response. So, how should recruiters respond? We’ll talk about the opportunities and challenges these changes present and how to make the most of both to move your hiring into the future.
