Session Descriptions:
The Power of Purpose. (Johnny Campbell)
This session will show you how to approach and engage with passive talent so that you can close more than 80 percent of the top talent that you go after.
Advertisers the world over know that emotion is a more powerful selling tool than facts and figures, yet recruiters still spend all of their time selling job function! In this practical session, full of simple tips, learn how you can empower your team to leverage the power of purpose in how they describe job openings, engage with talent and empower your employer brand.

From Pre-hire to Post-hire: Where Is Your Weakest Link? (Mark Landwer)
Your candidate experience is only as good as the weakest link in your process. Do you treat your candidates like potential future employees throughout the recruitment process? One trend we’re seeing in the recruitment space is the morphing of the candidate and employee experience into more of an overall company experience. In this session, you will learn how this new-school approach can set expectations for future employees and optimize your candidate experience so you can make the best hires now and in the future. By effectively utilizing the recruitment, screening and human capital management tools you have at your fingertips, learn how to make holistic improvements from recruitment to background screening and onboarding.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand which stages of the job search and hiring process are more frustrating for candidates, and learn how to identify the weakest links from pre-hire to post-hire.
- Discover the preferred communication methods for both employers and candidates in each step of the hiring process.
- Uncover candidate perceptions and attitudes that can inform your future strategy.
Make It. MSP. (Peter Frosch)
Over 150 companies, cities, universities and nonprofits across the Minneapolis-Saint Paul region came together in 2015 to launch a new effort to retain and attract the world’s best workforce. That initiative – Make It. MSP. – is now generating original insight on key talent segments (e.g. professionals of color, tech, newcomers to the region) and new tools to help recruiters sell this metro to prospective talent. Peter Frosch, one of the creators and leaders of this initiative, will provide attendees with an overview of the work and put these new tools in your hands.
