    The Secrets Behind Choosing Applicant Tracking Software | Splash 15/16
    Presented by JobDiva

    When looking for Applicant Tracking Software, you have numerous questions to juggle. These include: Which software ratings you should trust, which software delivery model is right for you, how far should your IT department be involved in the selection process, and how the technology’s road map aligns with your interests. The weight of these questions can become quite a headache for any staffing leader. In this informal and interactive (if you choose) session, JobDiva’s CEO, Diya Obeid, will explain the hidden secrets that will help you distinguish between true value in ATSes and perceived value based on marketing schemes. He will go over the right questions to ask any technology provider—what to be skeptical of, and what will drive forward your business success.

    Job Boards and Beyond | Flicker 1/2
    When job boards first came to market, they were heralded as innovators and disruptors, and brought with them the promise to revolutionize how people found work. Now, the standard job posting is largely a commodity, and new waves of innovators are transforming the market with different models, pricing and technology, while some of the largest companies in the world, including Google and Facebook, have decided to place their own bets on the job board market.

    As millions of employers, including staffing firms, rely on job boards as a crucial part of their talent acquisition technology strategy, trends in the job board market have residual effects across the workforce solutions ecosystem. The competitive environment is one of the fiercest the industry has ever faced, and those which fail to continue innovating risk being left behind. In this session, we’ll separate fact from fiction and discuss the latest trends and players in the job board market, and what it all means for your business.

    The Power of AI in Recruiting | Splash 15/16
    Presented by Jobscience

    Recruiting is still an art form based upon developing relationships between candidates, recruiters and hiring managers. As recruiters are expected to manage more and more open positions and move more and more applicants through the process of becoming candidates and hires, artificial intelligence (AI) is delivering tools required to hire both faster and smarter. CEO, Ted Elliott will discuss how smarter candidate and job matching and growing analytical insights into skill, behavioral assessment and culture matching is freeing time for recruiters to devote to developing better relationships. And ultimately, relationship staffing is the future.
