What’s being discussed:
- Candidate Engagement
- Volume Hiring

TOPIC: 4 Key Tactics to Never Leave your Candidates in the Dark
Almost all HR departments say the same thing – not only do they suffer from a deficit of talent, it’s a problem getting worse not better compounded by large volumes of applications making the screening process longer and more complex. Candidates now expect recruitment processes to be smooth, frictionless and seamless, always personalised and built on authenticity. In this session, Oleeo will host a fireside chat with an employer contributor to consider 4 key tactics that can help ensure a superior candidate experience at all times in the end-to-end recruitment process. The conversation will look at:
- Why an employer value proposition is essential and how & where it should be showcased
- How to prioritise communications in your candidate workflows
- Lessons learned from the lockdown around building candidate experience virtually
- Why advocacy has never been more important to candidates in 2021
In this interactive session, you have the chance to expand your knowledge and find the solutions to your problems through new insights, discussions & peer networking

TOPIC: Building a Great Candidate Experience
- How best to communicate with your candidates, there are so many options, which come out top?
- Talent pooling – invaluable for recruiters but can also be a key part of your candidate experience
- Using tech to enhance your candidate experience
- Getting back to ‘normal’ and combining virtual with face to face. As we start to get back into workplaces what are the elements of the changes you made due to Covid that you want to keep? What has helped to improve your candidate experience and what do you want to leave behind?
TOPIC: Onboarding in 2021 and the Social Candidate Experience

TOPIC: Bringing Candidate Engagement Full Circle – In it for the Long Haul
Joining a talent pool/community requires a level of initial engagement varying from person to person. Engagement can quickly fade for various reasons – too much, not enough or irrelevant communication. While automation can provide a great starting point on the journey, soon, a deeper understanding of individuals is required to maintain high engagement levels.
- Talent Pooling – it’s quality over quantity
- First impressions are just that
- When it comes to content, click-through rates can be deceiving
- Measuring levels of engagement
- Give, give, give – caring counts
