Trends That Impact Recruiters: 2016 and Beyond

The economy and the workforce are changing rapidly with the onslaught of robotics, automation,

the Internet of Things. There are more freelance workers than ever before and more people are

opting for flexible work schedules and virtual work. What do these trends, and others, mean for

recruiters? What’s the future of recruiting? Is automation on our horizon?

Kevin will engage you in the broad discussion of what these mean and show you how to

successfully grow into the emerging roles that recruiters will play as we move deeper into the

21st century. Don’t miss this fascinating journey into tomorrow.

The Top 10 “Bleeding Edge” Recruiting Trends That You Need to Track

Being forward-looking is a requirement in order to be a leader. Even though recruiting

leaders seldom have the resources to implement more than a handful of emerging practices,

as professionals we still have an obligation to learn about the “bleeding edge practices” that

the very best firms are implementing or planning. Learning about these emerging trends can

be stimulating and they can serve as signals highlighting new directions that your function

needs to be moving toward. Some of the evolving trends and opportunities that will be

highlighted include:

} A recruiting function driven by data

} Assessing the career trajectory of candidates

} Exciting new uses for video

} The use of TV for employer branding

} The upcoming shortage of high quality recruiters

} Utilizing predictive metrics to alert managers about upcoming opportunities

} How market research can dramatically improve recruiting results

HR’s Greatest Challenge: 5 Business-Driven Actions to Improve Recruitment, Engagement and Retention

What is the value of hiring new talent if you can’t keep it? Too often recruiters focus on filling jobs

quickly without drive and accountability to place new hires who will fully engage and stay. The

facts are in as turnover is spiking each year and engagement has been flat since…gulp…2000.

The solution is simple. Manage both like business issues instead of HR issues and see

immediate improvement.

This session highlights Finnegan’s new book, HR’s Greatest Challenge, which follows The Power

of Stay Interviews, which is the top-selling book in SHRM history. Participants will take home the

answer to the question: “Now that we’ve hired them, how do we keep them and increase their

productivity?”
