Join the Gem discussion as we explore best practices, benchmarks, recommendations, conversations, trends (and more!) for best-in-class talent acquisition teams.

All-time recruiting woe? Most will say reviewing resumes in bulk. It’s not uncommon for TA teams to spend countless hours reviewing hundreds of applications only to find few qualified candidates as their trade-off.

This pulls recruiters away from building relationships with candidates already in the process, only adding to costly delays and missed opportunities. It’s time for teams to take charge and no longer be bound by manual workflows or limited optimization.

Join us for a discussion with Rachael Leaf, Talent Engagement Specialist at Dropbox and Christine Johny, Talent Acquisition Recruiter at FreshBooks, moderated by Leigh Miller, Sr. Customer Talent Advisor at Gem, to discover how to manage and streamline your inbound applications with ease. You’ll learn how to find coveted candidates quickly, including:

- Ideal starting points for filtering applications appropriately
- How to cut through the noise of your inbound application stack
- Ways to scan resumes more efficiently
- Nurturing relationships with promising applicants for future roles
- Pinpointing where teams can better prioritize their time

How To Find and Hire Top Candidates Across Your Applicant Stack

From Gem's Talent Summit 2022
If you’re following the news, you might be riding the pendulum of anxiety, uncertainty, or optimism on any given day. You also might not regularly be in conversation with TA professionals in other organizations for a broader sense of what’s happening outside your own company.

Our panel of experts sees the bigger picture. Join us to discuss what they’ve observed in the broader industry landscape. In this session, the panel will bring their insights—and perhaps a little provocation about why the tech sector is the only industry seeing net job losses—to the table. You’ll learn how to:

• Prepare your recruiting team for when hiring ramps up again
• Leverage your TA team’s market knowledge to inform the business strategy

Don't Believe the Hype: What's Actually Happening in Talent Acquisition

Recruiting Operations has seen a meteoric rise in popularity as teams look to create best-in-class processes and programs, eliminate inefficiencies in the hiring process, and ensure a consistent (and consistently great) experience for every candidate.

With massive uncertainties in the future of work, market fluctuations, and ever-increasing competition plaguing the talent acquisition world, TA teams need to leverage data to make more informed hiring decisions while eliminating inefficiencies. In this session, TA and RecOps leaders from Box, Toast, Chili Piper, and Gem will discuss:

- Why Recruiting Operations is more critical than ever
- Key metrics and KPIs every RecOps team needs to be effective
- What the future looks like for Recruiting Operations

Talent Summit 2022: The Rise Of Recruiting Operations

As competition for qualified candidates remains at an all-time high, a strong employer brand strategy is crucial for increasing awareness of your company, communicating your unique value proposition, and converting prospects into interested candidates. However, this isn’t an easy task. A company’s reputation matters more and more, and prospects are wary when your company culture doesn’t validate your reputation. Join us for an in-depth session where you’ll learn how to:

• Build a truly authentic employer brand strategy
• Adapt your employer brand during a potential downturn
• Attract even more candidates as the employer of choice

Talent Summit 2022: Emerging Trends: Employer Brand, Winning with Authenticity

In 2022, 80% of separations are now initiated by employees—talent that’s voluntarily choosing to leave comfortable jobs in a complex macroeconomic climate because they’re being offered better opportunities than the ones they’re in now. The talent shortage is here to stay; and when it comes to technical recruiting—which this session will focus on—roles like engineering, data science, and cybersecurity are sure to remain competitive no matter the broader market conditions.

Relationship-based recruiting is the future of our industry; and Michael Franco, Senior Director of Recruiting at Yext, knows the power of passive talent nurture better than most—it’s a strategy she’s employed with great success. In this session, Michael will discuss:

- Why he believes thoughtful, patient, long-term nurture sequences that build trusting relationships with talent are the future of sourcing
- What best practices are for building talent pools and crafting nurture campaigns
- How to filter down groups like former silver medalists for more personalized, targeted messaging

Talent Summit 2022: Emerging Trends: Talent Nurture is the New Sourcing

Any organization that wants to succeed in today’s hiring market knows that diversity is one of the most important factors in attracting and retaining top talent. According to Glassdoor, more than 75% of job seekers say that diversity is an important consideration when evaluating companies and job offers. Unfortunately, far too often, leadership teams with good intentions struggle to set realistic targets for what diversity looks like within their organization, what it should (or could) be, and how to get there.

 
Join us for an eye-opening session with thought leaders from The Mom Project, Affirm, and Robinhood, where you’ll learn how to:
- Leverage data to set realistic hiring goals that increase diversity
- Source talent from untapped markets to build more diverse talent pipelines
- Craft personalized outreach that resonates with underrepresented audiences
- Nurture candidates throughout the hiring process to keep them engaged

Talent Summit 2022: A Future-Forward Perspective On Diversity Recruiting

Recruiting teams have become more data-driven than ever in recent years. As this shift happens, the organizations they’re embedded in are finally viewing recruiting less as a cost center or administrative function and more as a key strategic partner to the business. In the best of cases, recruiting has become such a strategic differentiator that companies are willing to invest all the resources they can to achieve the headcount that will drive their business goals.

 


But if your business doesn’t have that view of recruiting yet, how do you make the case for your team as a strategic partner—one with acute talent market intelligence, insights about role prioritization and org growth, capacity models that are bound to impact your headcount plan, and more?

 


Executive Director of Hiring Success Allyn Bailey will deep-dive into the strategies she’s implemented over the years to transform business’ views of the recruiting function. In a moment like ours, in which talks of hiring slowdowns feel ubiquitous, the question of how recruiting can become (and remain!) a strategic function is more important than ever.

Talent Summit 2022: How to Shift TA from a Cost Center to a Strategic Function

One roadblock on the path to closing the diversity gap is casting a net that’s too small; another is telling yourself that the underrepresented talent you’re looking for doesn’t exist. It does! According to statistics, roughly 70% of open jobs aren’t publicly posted. Instead, these positions are filled through networking. It takes creativity and intentionality to find and connect with underrepresented communities and lead them to your open roles.

In this session, Lauren Loera, Technical Recruiting Researcher at Netflix, will cover how to optimize your network to generate inclusive pipelines that lead to better candidate experiences and improved talent retention by:

- Identifying and connecting with URG community groups
- Building a network of present and future prospects
- Utilizing internal groups and programs to build relationships
- Data mining to identify the health of your recruiting outreach and hiring pipelines

If you’re looking to genuinely diversify your pipelines right now—and hopefully you are!—this is a can’t-miss session.

Talent Summit: Close the Diversity Gap & Deliver Unbeatable Candidate Experience

We need to be intentional about creating workplaces where people can thrive and do their best work. “A healthy company culture will benefit your bottom line by motivating employees and smoothing out lines of communication.” Key ingredients to a healthy company culture include an environment with psychological safety and feedback in all forms, which ultimately builds a sense of belonging. We know that cultivating an equitable environment for everyone is not only a nice to have for business but a need to have. Great Places to Work data shows that companies that value diversity and inclusion outperform other companies by as much as 400%.

It is critical to communicate your unique employer value proposition from the candidate experience to an employee’s transition to being an alum of the company. How are you communicating your values to candidates? How are you retaining employees and building a culture of feedback?

In this webinar we’ll talk with thought leaders about strategies for:
- Communicating your company culture through the hiring process and beyond
- Fostering a sense of belonging
- Creating a holistic employee feedback management strategy

How to Communicate Company Culture throughout the Employee Lifecycle

Session from Gem's Talent Summit 2022

According to Aptitude’s 2022 TA Technology Buyer’s Guide, talent professionals’ top two frustrations with TA tech are that they’re using too many solutions and that their systems aren’t integrated. These are frustrations we hear often. A modern TA tech stack should unify your existing tools, strengthen collaboration, offer critical data insights to all the right stakeholders, and increase overall productivity. If it’s not doing all of these things, it’s probably time to take a hard look at the software that’s upholding your hiring processes.

Tim Sackett, HR Tech Analyst and President of HRU Technical Resources, will reveal his approach to building an efficient and cost-effective TA tech stack, what he looks for in a vendor, and how to determine the ROI of your tools to demonstrate their value to the business. This is your chance to hear some sage advice from an industry leader who’s built out a tech stack many times over.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Key metrics when it comes to measuring recruitment, retention, and DE&I
- Leveraging data and people analytics to gain executive buy-in for your HR and recruitment strategy
