It's Vegas time: Whats happening in talent acquisition at SuccessConnect

[former_member29697]

Back in June, we kicked off the theme of Transformation at SuccessConnect in Berlin. We continue that trend in Las Vegas next month. SuccessConnect will demonstrate great customer stories, best practices and our product roadmap to help you in your own transformation journey.

As times, user behavior, devices and interaction points are continually changing we see a major impact on candidates, new hires, recruiters and employees. This change dictates how people want to engage and communicate from the application to finding a new hire’s desk. As Steve Hunt says, “Humans thrive at change, under the right circumstances.” We are here to help create those circumstances to help you be efficient while meeting company objectives.

In Recruiting, transformation comes in the form of divorcing the hiring process from the requisition and the application, while marrying the recruiter and candidate experiences together. By doing this, you can quickly dissect what is truly important in your recruiting process to get at the best experience, all while making your recruiters and sourcers extremely efficient. Recruiting skillsets are transforming, just as technology is changing. Improving the candidate experience through content and design, and engagement tactics to nurture candidates, are critical components to taking the next steps to meet your company’s strategy and goals.

Onboarding is also affected by transformation. Whereas tactical onboarding is already established in most companies these days, the strategic use of onboarding can maximize its success even more. Even for leading organizations, most onboarding activities rather focus on compliance and administrative automation only—e.g. getting that new hire paperwork taken care of and making sure all mandatory training is completed. We believe that a comprehensive approach is needed that ensures retention, engagement and productivity not only with hiring new employees, but with every other step of the employee lifecycle, from new hires entering the company to employees moving to new roles and even to employees moving on outside of the organization.

The move away from manual processes and even beyond simple automation of tasks to creating unified processes and leveraging data and insights to prompt smart decision making and actions, intelligence that drives personalized, relevant and engaging experiences, and much more cross-boarding activities as part of employee lifecycle management. Cross effects with the transformation in other HR areas like diversification, digitalization, usage of machine learning and mobile…just to name a few. There are many areas where transformation is impacting talent acquisition now and in the future.
