Manpower: Breaking Down Barriers: Total Talent Management Comes Of Age

Technology is transforming organisations, and skill requirements are changing rapidly. Now more than ever, technical skills are hard to find, and soft skills are hard to train. Organisations need to shift their talent strategies, and find new and alternative ways to resource, develop, motivate and retain the in-demand skills they need. Individuals need to be aware of the changing landscape too, and be ready to nurture their ability to learn and evolve their skills, so they stay employable for the long-term. In our session, we will discuss how a Total Talent Management mindset can give organisations the complete visibility they need to adapt their workforce to the digital age.

Candidate ID - Talent Pipeline Automation

The creation of talent pipelines has been voted a top 3 objective in The FIRM's annual survey for each of the last 5 years. The reason we believe this is an unfulfilled objective is because technology which is capable of creating talent pipelines at scale has not existed to date. In this session, we will cover:

• The candidate journey has entirely changed but we haven't adapted
• Talent pipelines: a modern definition
• Why have talent pipelines been so hard to create?
• Which roles are pipelineable?
• Content which will inspire and nurture your talent pipelines
• How the best are structuring their teams to seize advantage

The background check compliance mistakes you may not realise you're making!

Conducting background checks on candidates is a must-have for employers wanting to meet regulatory obligations or mitigate the cost, safety and reputational risk of a bad hire. But there are vital compliance considerations which must be adhered to along the way. Tim Stokes will reflect on unique research by Sterling and explore the typical pitfalls which hiring firms must avoid. Learn from the errors made by other hiring organisations and get best-practice tips on developing a speedier and more robust screening process. Find out how to avoid:

• Social Media Check #fails
• GDPR Headaches
• Criminal Record Check Confusion
• Inconsistent Decision Making
• The Contract and Temporary Workforce ‘Gap’
