Join me at the virtual Jobg8 summit!
As you’ve probably noticed, every important conference in our industry – from RecBuzz to TAtech and beyond – has gone virtual this year due to the pandemic. Well, surprise – so has the Jobg8 North American Summit. They’re calling it the Jobg8 iSummit – it’s a virtual version of the usual live conference, a bit condensed and edited for online consumption. Why am I so interested in letting you know? Ahem – I’ve spent many months earlier in the year gathering speakers (and topics) for the conference – so you could say I have a vested interest!
Did I mention that it’s free? No? Well, it is – click here to register (be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page for the form). It will run 3 days – June 23-25.
So who is speaking and what will you learn if you attend? Check it out:
Talroo brings clarity to improve new-hire retention
You filled the seat, but not with someone who plans to stay. The candidate made it through your entire interview process while quietly interviewing with other companies that pay 25% more.
When expectations aren't clear up front, retention suffers.
Get clarity up front with Talroo's SmartQualify.
- Mikhil Raja of Sonic Jobs is digging into the impact of COVID-19 on blue-collar jobseekers and what happens next.
- John Nurthen of Staffing Industry Analysts will be taking a look at the landscape of the workforce solutions ecosystems – and finding some opportunities amidst the chaos.
- Stephen Anderson of Crooton is talking about geo-fencing – what it is and how it can help in the recruitment process.
- Heather Bussing of Bussing Law will dig into the legal issues of using AI in recruiting – what to watch out for and what you need to know.
- Reena Gupta of MomsRelaunch will talk about her experiences in launching a site to support a group of workers that are often overlooked.
- Keren Douek of ShelleyBot will examine how chatbots can make a difference in recruiting by engaging candidates.
- Angela Hood of ThisWayGlobal will discuss how data diversity impacts you – and why it matters.
- Katie Mehnert of Pink Petro will talk about the challenges (and rewards) of promoting diversity in an ‘old school’ industry.
- Chad Sowash (yes, that Chad!) will moderate a panel of investment experts: Andy Hibel of HigherEdJobs, Rene Lewandowski of Droit, and Colin Lestrange of BTIG. Their topic? Investing in job boards – something I suspect everyone will find interesting!
Most of these sessions are 30 minutes – just long enough to cover the subject, but not so long as to make you nod off after a working lunch! Louise Grant of Jobg8 will be (as always) guiding the event, occasionally aided by yours truly. I hope you can take a bit of time out of your day to join us!
