8:45am to 9:00am Welcome Remarks

9:00am to 10:00am - Keynote Presentation - Talent Advisors: The Next Frontier, Dion Love Senior Director at CEB

How do we improve recruiter performance in the new work environment that’s defined by constant change and complexity? Top performing recruiters are defined by their ability to act as strategic advisors and pipeline managers. Together, these capabilities are the hallmarks of a Talent Advisor. Compared to most recruiters, Talent Advisors are twice as likely to be high-performers. They drive superior talent and business results including improved quality of hire, lower cost per hire, better candidate fit, effective hiring manager partnerships, and stronger strategic profile for recruiting. Unfortunately, less than 20% of recruiters today demonstrate Talent Advisor capabilities. The best companies enhance recruiter performance by identifying what Talent Advisors do differently, assess and select recruiters who demonstrate those qualities, and embed Talent Advisor capabilities into recruiter expectations and development programs.
