Employer branding has become familiar to most in our space by now, yet our understanding of it varies. What is employer branding, actually? What value does it bring to me as an employer? How do we use it as a platform to draw in different kinds of talent, in a very targeted way, knowing that what matters to these diverse candidates and employees varies so greatly? True, as employers we must tell the story of who we are and why we matter. That said, we should make our story relevant to them. How do we flip the script and better understand the kind of conversation – and experience – candidates want to have with us? Hint: It comes from both the head and the heart.

The concept of “bringing your whole self to work” is an often-used phrase to showcase a company’s encouragement for their employees to feel like they belong. However, not all employees feel that they can be their entire self at work. What if segments of your employee population can only bring half of themselves to work every day based on the realities of being a minority? Some minorities feel that they have to suppress elements of their culture, ethnicity, orientation, language, disability, or gender in order to advance up the ranks, be accepted in inner circles, or appear less threatening based on stereotypical perceptions. They live a life divided and have to ‘switch’ who they are in workplace contexts.

John G. Graham Jr. will engage you in roundtable discussions that are facilitated around some of the toughest D&I challenges that we face as employers and in employer branding. The conversations will be uncomfortable but will stretch you to new areas of understanding and compel you to take action upon returning to your organizations. D&I is a contact sport so we ask you to bring an open mind and open heart to help drive meaningful growth during our time together.

How do you decide what matters most? Where do you invest your time, money and resources?

In this session, Joe Essenfeld, vice president and general manager at iCIMS, will reflect on top recruiting trends and provide actionable advice on how to effectively apply them to fuel your sourcing and hiring practices this year.

Evaluate your organization’s biggest challenges and learn which tools are best for your unique needs to improve sourcing and hiring efficiencies.

Thinking and executing like a marketer has never been truer than for talent acquisition professionals today. Low employment and a tight job market has made recruiting a highly competitive exercise in attracting the individuals who will help grow and sustain your business.

According to Talent Board Candidate Experience Awards Benchmark Research, today’s candidates across generations want to understand why employees work where they work and why they stay there. Candidates want testimonials and to hear directly from the employees and the managers they could potentially work for. They also want to hear what a successful candidate looks like for positions they’re interested as well as the possible career paths they might have. Employers are implementing chat bots and increasing the use of mobile text messaging, translating into higher positive candidate ratings. 

During this informative presentation, Talent Board President Kevin W. Grossman will share insights from the CandE research and award-winning companies on how to turn the candidate experience into an employer branding strategy including:

• How to ensure career sites are compelling with the right customer-centric approach that entice candidates to apply
• Why “future fit” and “silver medalist” candidates should be nurtured long after they initially applied
• How referrals and employer brand advocacy programs are key
• How today’s smart technologies are empowering more communication pre-application
• How candidates will take their alliance, product purchases, and relationships elsewhere when they have a poor experience – and how they’ll increase it when it’s great – even before they apply
