Daniel Wahlen, Evangelist, Indeed

In today's tight labour market, what does it take to convince

candidates to choose you—competitive compensation, your

reputation as a great place to work, their experience with you as a customer and  candidate or some other variable? 

• Daniel reveals new research on the variables driving job seeker decision-making, diving deep into the role that brand plays in their choices to apply to, engage with  and accept offers from certain companies over others. 

• Harness your newfound understanding of the brains and          behavior of prospective candidates to elevate  your employer brand, ensuring your organization is top  of mind for today's top talent.

Recruiters are from Venus, 
Hiring Managers are from Mars

Johnny Campbell, CEO, SocialTalent

• In the 2012 Olympic games, Usain Bolt shattered the 100m world record with a time of 9.63s but in the same  games, the            Jamaican relay team completed the 4 x 100  race in a time that        was 1.7s faster than if Bolt had of run  each relay by himself. How?        The power of alignment and teamwork. 

• Hiring is a team sport yet Recruiters and Hiring Managers are        rarely aligned. Johnny will uncover exactly where this misalignment occurs but more importantly, the simple ways you can get          everyone working together  as a team to smash your hiring goals.
