HORSHAM, PA — (Marketwired) — 08/02/16 — ® magazine, the premier publication focused on strategic issues in HR, today announced details of the track being offered at the first-ever Human Resource Executive® taking place at the Austin Hilton in Texas on November 15 – 16, 2016.
Industry researchers at Bersin by Deloitte recently noted that the $14-plus billion marketplace for HR software and platforms is reinventing itself. Innovations in mobile apps, analytics, video and collaboration solutions are shifting how business is done as well as buyers– priorities. Some of the most noteworthy changes have impacted the talent acquisition category, where scores of new applications beyond the traditional applicant tracking system have emerged.
Andrew McIlvaine, program chair of the conference, commented, “Talent acquisition has become increasingly complex. Greater competition for top candidates, the magnitude of data that can lead to wrong assumptions, and the struggle to find easily implemented solutions to improve the entire process are just some of the challenges. Our Talent Strategy track will provide attendees with the actionable insights to find the best talent sources, leverage the right analytics and onboard new hires effectively — ultimately creating a better experience for candidates and recruiters alike.”
Highlights of the track include the session, “Modern Measures of Success and the Sorry State of Data-Driven Recruiting,” led by Kyle Lagunas, principal analyst of IDC. Lagunas says traditional metrics like time-to-fill and cost-per-hire are poor indicators of recruiting performance, citing emerging talent analytics technologies as offering a new level of measurement and more meaningful insights. Drawing from his latest research, “Modern Measures of Success in Talent Acquisition,” Lagunas will address the most critical measures in a modern talent acquisition function and the steps organizations can take to move the needle in data-driven recruiting.
In addition, Jaqueline Kuhn, executive vice president for Human Capital Management Consulting Services at HRchitect, will present “The Changing Talent Acquisition Landscape: Identifying New Trends and Expectations.” During this session, she will share insights on how companies can be winners in the war for talent and explain how to determine whether currently used technologies meet the needs of all stakeholders in the talent acquisition process.
Additional sessions in the Talent Strategy track will explore how numerous successful companies achieved talent acquisition success with the right technology. These include case study sessions detailing how:
