"Rethinking Talent Acquisition" with Ben Eubanks

with Ben Eubanks

As talent leaders, we can easily sit around and commiserate about the challenges facing talent acquisition. But we can also rise to the challenge. New data can help us peer into what separates mature, leading talent functions so that we can improve our operations and outcomes, and examples from innovative talent teams can help us build stronger relationships with stakeholders and business leaders.

Data from Lighthouse Research & Advisory’s 2021 Talent Acquisition Trends study shows that talent teams that prioritize the use of data and evidence are 3.5 times more likely to be leading and proactive strategic partners, not passive order-takers. In this session, we'll cover examples, stories, and data to help illuminate the path forward in one of the most challenging and complex talent environments that talent leaders have ever seen.

Topics covered will include:

• What technology gaps companies experienced and how they overcame them
  
• How organizations are making use of recruiting automation tools and how they benefit from them
  
• Why talent mobility is a leading practice for talent acquisition teams
  
• The differentiators for mature, data-focused talent teams and what they can teach the rest of us
