Panel Session: The Measure of Talent

Performance analytics have become increasingly advanced with traditional means of tracking the effectiveness and efficiency of the recruitment function giving way to far more sophisticated methods. Questions around how we measure RPO success and what we use to do so are more pertinent now than ever.

To find out what companies really think about RPO metrics and how they could be improved in the future, Futurestep partnered with HRO Today Magazine to undertake a primary market research study among users of recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) services. We focused our investigation on three key areas:

- What Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are being used in the RPO space?
- How satisfied are users with those metrics?
- What metrics do users want that they don’t currently have?

Please join us as we review the findings of Measuring Up?, our research report about RPO metrics, and discuss the relationship between successful recruitment metrics and successful RPOs.

Futurestep welcomes an expert panel to discuss the latest recruitment technologies and how to choose the right technologies to support your talent acquisition strategy.

Bersin by Deloitte’s recently published Talent Acquisition Factbook 2015 found that the surveyed companies were spending nearly 25% of their talent acquisition budgets on sourcing. How can you be sure these resources are being allocated most effectively?

The identification of potential candidates is a critical and increasingly complex step in the recruitment process.

Please join Bersin by Deloitte and Futurestep as we take a look at the current sourcing landscape, how sourcing has become the strategic underpinning of the talent acquisition process, and how you can improve ROI through smarter sourcing.

Robin Erickson, Ph.D. – Vice President, Talent Acquisition Research, Bersin by Deloitte, Deloitte Consulting LLP

There is no better marketing for your organisation than a good candidate experience. It reinforces positive perceptions of your business, as well as setting the stage for high levels of employee engagement and performance.

Meanwhile, a bad candidate experience can be more than a missed opportunity to engage new employees. It can also severely reduce a company’s ability to hire quality talent in the long term – and, because each candidate is also a potential customer, a bad experience can even hit the bottom line.

Please join Futurestep, alongside Talk Talk and Fonterra, as we discuss how the right talent acquisition strategy and process can significantly enhance a company’s competitive advantage.

During the webinar, we will explore the impact on your overall brand of key candidate interactions, how to develop a better understanding of candidate touch-points, and some of the innovative strategies developed to collect candidate perceptions and manage the total candidate experience.

As organizations continue to battle for top talent, distinguishing your company from the competition has never been more crucial to attracting the best candidates. A strong employer brand enables companies to stand above the crowd, to source higher quality applicants, and ultimately, to drive business growth.

The reality is that to be successful your employer brand and your talent acquisition strategy must be in lockstep. As such, organizations are increasingly looking to external experts, including RPO providers, to ensure this critical alignment of strategy and brand.

Join us as we take a look at the current employer brand landscape, how a strong talent acquisition strategy impacts the brand, and the role providers are playing in the space.
