Recruit from Your Head and Your Heart
Kara Yarnot | Vice President | HireClix
To be an amazing recruiter, you need to win the minds and hearts of everyone involved in the process – your candidates, your network, your hiring managers, and your leaders. Using the best technologies and applying analytics to your recruiting is just the basis for amazing recruiting. You must stay connected to the hearts of others.
Kara will share a personal journey that reminded her how personal touch matters in creating first impressions, building your network, and staying connected to people. At the end of this session, you’ll be inspired to:
- Create a candidate experience that inspires people to be an ambassador for your brand
- Build networks that include individuals beyond possible candidates and other talent acquisition professionals
- Construct plans to follow-up and stay in contact with your network
By using your head and your heart, you’ll discover that people want to include you in their journeys and you’ll be a better recruiter because of it.

- You want to show you are not a TRANSACTIONAL Recruiter or Sourcer and care about giving back.
- You want to learn how to join the Recruiting and Sourcing Influencer "Gold Rush" before it’s too late.
What you get:
- Learn the exact steps to get in front of potential candidates and clients in a more meaningful way.
- Learn the psychology of why people like to buy and nobody likes to be sold.
- And what you need to learn from Justin Bieber, Facebook, and the 80/20 Principle.

Gut Check: Candidate Behaviors Can Predict Quality of Hire
Ryan Healy| Founder & President| Brazen
There is no doubt predictive analytics can play a big role in helping talent acquisition teams target the best candidates for their organizations. However, without statisticians or business analytics professionals on the team, making sense of all the data can be next to impossible. Learn how recruiting teams can learn more about candidates from the behaviors they display. Gain insight into leading organizations' recruiting processes that enables top talent to find them as opposed to the other way around.

2:10 – 3:15 Closing Keynote

Peter Brooks, Senior Director, Talent Acquisition, Northrop Grumman
Beth Skoletsky, VP, Human Resources, WBB, Inc.
Day to day we all have our roles and responsibilities, but what about the big picture? How do you support your overall organization to meet the needs that your leadership is striving to fulfill? We will chat with four talent acquisition leaders – two from government contracting and two from the commercial sector on how their teams can best support them. We will also discuss how you chart your course if you want to become a leader as well.
3:15 – 4:15 Innovation Lab or Networking
You have always wanted to know more about sourcing so here it is! A hands-on sourcing session hosted by Susanna Frazier, two-time SourceCon Hackathon champion. She will show you some of her tips and tricks on sourcing. She might even have a few tips on finding cleared candidates. Now, not everyone will want to be part of the Innovation Lab, so you can also use this time to begin you afternoon networking!
4:15 - 4:30 Closing Remarks
As we close the conference, we will work as a community to give back. We will again take the time to write career tips and encouragement to transitioning military members and then provide these to local veteran organizations who distribute them to our troops.
