Recruiting Hacks 2.0: Tips for Leaders, Hiring Managers and Senior Team Members to Boost the Talent Hunt

by Paul DeBettignies | at Minnebar 19

Last year, I did this session for the first time anywhere and was surprised to have a full room. All I had was a bunch of slides with bullet points and thoughts.

This year, a legit session with an actual deck.

I appreciate that hiring is slower or on hold for many of us. This is all the more reason to have this conversation so that when hiring picks up again, you and your team are prepared.

One big update from last year is the introduction of AI in the process, both in the use of technology and the likelihood that your talent acquisition team will be smaller than it used to be. You and your team will likely be tasked with picking up a bunch of this work.

Who should attend:

  • Leaders of companies (C-Suite and VP titles), Hiring Managers, and team members who interview their future teammates.

Topics will include:

  • Writing compelling job descriptions, including content that most are missing
  • Having a presence at community events, meetups
  • LinkedIn profiles, content to post, and frequency
  • Interviewing skills, process, and strategy
  • Elevating employer and team brand
  • Basic to intermediate-level sourcing
  • Networking and referrals
  • Working with your recruiting team as an ally versus a speed bump
  • AI: the good, bad, and future

*If you don’t or can’t attend, do this one thing in the following weeks: conduct your own recruiting fire drill (audit) from application through onboarding to ensure the best candidate and new team member experience possible.
