Optimizing The Candidate Experience: Enhancing Your Recruiting Programs
Presenter: Erin Peterson, Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition, HEWITT ASSOCIATES
A candidate's experience is one of the most critical and overlooked areas of the recruiting and the hiring process. A positive experience translates into quality hires, strengthens a company's employment brand, and reduces its cost per hire. A negative experience can result in a decline in the acceptance of employment offers, a decrease in the quantity and quality of applicants applying, and a negative image of the company throughout the labor market. A qualified candidate may even self select out of the hiring process during the interview stage, or before a company can make an offer. Hewitt Associates recently reviewed how they could optimize their candidate experience by enhancing their recruiting programs.
In this webinar Erin M. Peterson, Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition, will discuss how Hewitt built a world class candidate experience by:
- Listening to the feedback of all candidates even the candidates that rejected offers.
- Communicating to candidates on each stage of the recruiting process.
- Wowing candidates by immediately reimbursing their expenses.
- Aiding eliminated candidates on their continued job search with other top 500 companies.
- Reducing the candidate on-boarding time by doing away with paper packets.

Are You A Good Interviewer? Top 10 Interviewing Skills
One of the major responsibilities of recruiters is to interview job candidates. Yet rarely are they formally trained or evaluated on this skill. And job interviews are notorious for not predicting whether a candidate is equipped to be successful in a job- research suggests most organizations would have better luck choosing whom to hire by flipping a coin. It should be simple to conclude that to improve the hiring process at an organization, the interview, and therefore by extension the interviewer, should be improved.
Easier said than done, right? Recruiters and hiring managers alike are victims of their own hubris- have you ever met one who said they didn't think they were good at interviewing? The first step is to objectively identify one's own weaknesses. The next is to attend this webcast, where we'll cover the top 10 skills needed to be a good interviewer.

Recruiting (Federal)
Reducing Time to Hire in Federal Government
Presenter: Angela Bailey , Deputy Associate Director , U.S. Office of Personnel Management
As an employer, our national government is competitive with the private sector on many fronts: among others it offers stability, meaningful work, and leadership development. One area where it loses to private employers is on the time it takes between applying for a job and getting hired.

Truly, new tools and processes will need to be adapted in order for Government to make the transformation bringing its talent acquisition processes and systems into the 21st century. A national challenge for all Government offices - is how to stay competitive in the labor market and how to brand oneself to compete against more recognizable companies in the private sector. How can government win the war for high performing talent? This will require significant changes in leadership culture and attitude, systems and technology, and accountability and metrics.

Corporate Ladder to Corporate Lattice™ Aligning the workplace with today's non-traditional workforce
The corporate workforce has, in two short generations, completely transformed. From changing family structures, to women now being the majority of the entry level workforce, to aging baby boomers and the arrival of Generation Y, never before have the collective characteristics of the employee changed so much in so little time.
Yet, the expectations of the traditional workplace and the one-size-fits-all corporate ladder model of career progression have not. The result? A structural misalignment between the workplace and workforce.
Mass Career Customization (“MCC”) provides an approach that responds to today’s realities on how work gets done and careers are built. Join Cathy Benko, co-author, as she describes the changing talent landscape and why the corporate ladder, longstanding metaphor for career progression is giving way to the corporate lattice™.

Workforce Analytics
The Decision Science of HR: Maximizing Workforce Planning and Analytics
Presenter: Al Adamsen, Managing Partner, People-Centered Strategies
Although it’s made notable progress since its days as “personnel,” HR is still challenged with measuring and exhibiting its value. This no longer needs to be the case. There are now able technologies, and proven-processes and know-how, which allow HR to measure its impact on business operations, customer experiences and financial results. The great tragedy is most organizations still don’t engage in these activities in an ongoing, sustainable way. In this informative and interactive webinar, Al Adamsen, a leading expert on workforce planning and analytics, will explore the reasons behind this and highlight the risks of not engaging in workforce planning and analytics in any economic climate.
- Understanding turnover, what drives it, and how retention of key talent impacts business performance.
- Identifying and using the "right" information instead of anything or everything that's available.
- Moving leaders and the workforce from "thinking" they know to "knowing" they know.
- Reducing risk by increasing the probability that investments of scarce financial and human resources actually deliver the desired return (ROI).
And more.
By attending, you will gain a better understanding of how workforce analytics can tell the data supported story of HR’s activities and how they impact business operations. Obtain an appreciation for how many of the technologies and processes that are likely already in place can be leveraged to generate unique insight, which in turn, can deliver measurable and strategic value. You’ll also learn about innovative best practices from organizations that have built a workforce planning and analytics culture of capabilities.
