Openings keynote of Bill Boorman, founder of Tru, about the future of recruitment tech. Among other things, he will discuss what he calls the ‘algorithm anarchy’: the proliferation of algorithms in recruitment. “Especially sellers and visionaries have their mouth full of AI. But my definition of AI is about independently thinking and independently deciding machines. And I have not seen any of that in either recruitment or HR.”

In 2018, candidates want to find out what it is like to work for your organisation online, independently, before they have a conversation with a human in your recruitment team. To adapt, you should create an ongoing talent nurture programme using software which tracks and scores each candidate's interactions with your content. This will fuel your recruiters with 'hire-ready' candidates, allow them to filter the candidate database according to a real-time engagement score and show you which channels and content are driving the most candidate demand so you can constantly improve candidate engagement. This session will focus on the most important aspects of building automated talent pipelines with specific insights from Specsavers.

In this session, Sara Cauwenbergh, Recruitment Evangelist at Indeed, will break the hiring journey down into its component parts to explore the ways recruiters and jobseekers' confidence ebbs and flows at each stage. You’ll walk away with a blueprint you can use to map out your own hiring journey and identify opportunities to humanise the experience.
