Strategies for Recruiting Top Talent

WHY THIS TOPIC:

Strategically and philosophically, leaders need to be unified in their company’s vision, goals, and culture, and the resulting expectations for future hires. In this session, I will share my experiences as a founder, manager, and leader – in a traditional media company as well as my serial entrepreneurial early stage firm – from leveraging entrenched HR colleagues and departments, large and small recruiters, to the expanding HR and talent management SaaS tools now essential for recruiting talent.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• the myriad of options and strategies that work to recruit the best talent
• what it is that will make someone not only want to work for your company, but stay and grow with it

YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS IF YOU ARE:

• Looking for talent recruitment strategies to build your company’s scale and culture
• Involved in talent recruitment at any level
