Opening keynote of Christoph Fellinger, Head of Early Career Programs at Beiersdorf AG. He will ask: who’s the better recruiter: machine or man? Are Chatbots, machine learning and artificial intelligence better suited for selecting the talent we need for the future? Or are they just hype of the day, technically fascinating, definitely helpful yet awfully overrated? In this talk Christoph will look at the chances and limitations that tech has to offer in identifying and selecting future talent.

The common misperception of hypergrowth in any company is that it’s all about attracting new talent, in bulk, rapidly. Sounds simple but how do companies get this so wrong? “Good intentions, wrong execution” we say. The truth is, the secret to successful hyper growth only has 1 key ingredient; the people. Companies need to learn to build an effective talent function to attract the right kind of talent and then master the shift of cultural paradigms during these stages of growth using structured, disruptive thinking. You will come away learning to recognise the talent types that thrives successfully in this environment, the methodology to run TA smoothly and finally, how to get your leadership to care about their people.

Candidates don't need to talk to you to find out all about what it's like to work at your organisation. So, we need to stop spending 80% of our time attempting to get strangers to talk to us and we have to take an entirely different approach; which is all about nurture marketing and data analysis. Adam Gordon from CandidateID will do the introduction.

Every recruiter, or sourcer that I know has his or her own unique problems, but they all have one thing in common. Everyone uses email to reach-out to candidates! We all know email is effective, but we don’t have time to personally email each and every candidate on our lists. Each email needs to feel personal, though. If you send the wrong emails, you’ll end up losing candidates. During the presentation, we're going to dive into the nitty-gritty details of how to actually write these emails that feel more personalised.
