Professionals involved in talent acquisition and development are under constant pressure to achieve key objectives, including:
 
• Lowering the total cost of hiring
• Retain a pool of high-performing talent
• Providing a seamless and engaging experience for suitable candidates
• Ensuring a fair, efficient, and bias-free recruitment process.

How a focus on both candidate experience and employee retention through pro-active internal mobility, can benefit a company by engaging high-quality candidates and reducing the cost of hiring.

From Hiring to Retention: Enabling a Strong Internal Mobility Strategy

The world is changing, and this requires a new mindset on how to find, evaluate, and hire talent. This is especially true in the area of early career and grad hiring where traditional methods perpetuate long standing biases, reduce the available talent pool, and create an unfriendly and inefficient process.

With this in mind it is important to focus on assessments in the modern era, and how they can be used to increase access to talent, ensure fairness, and build lasting bonds with both applicants and new hires. 

In this webinar Dr. Charles Handler, President, Sova, US will explore:

• Hire as fast as possible
• Engage qualified candidates & ensure a seamless experience
• Deliver an efficient recruitment process that prevents bias
 
Knowingly or unknowingly, organisations are wasting resources on disjointed, out-of-date, and inefficient talent assessment processes. The result? A complicated tech stack, unnecessary layers of costs, stretched hiring teams, frustrated candidates and talent lost to competitors.
 
So, how do you deliver an outstanding hiring experience that is highly cost-effective, swift and engaging without cutting corners?

Delivering quality, cost-effective hiring experiences without cutting corners

With the right assessment technology in place, you can operate 100% virtually, maintain the rigour of your selection decisions and deliver significant cost savings and efficiencies to the organization. In this webinar, we will share real examples of how virtualizing the hiring process delivers value in terms of efficiency, cost-savings, and candidate experience.

Technology Brings HR to a New Level

The norm in talent assessment is firefighting; using point-based tests to verify a narrow range of skills and abilities that relate to one position. But the hiring landscape is changing and so are the job roles within it.
             
The most advanced and successful companies have a much more strategic, broader view of the value of talent assessment. This is because when used more strategically, assessment can be the foundation of true transformation, providing robust, objective data about the capability of your workforce. The transformation is greatly accelerated when the data from the entire hiring workflow is integrated into one central platform, allowing you to create engaging and seamless experiences for your candidates and providing you with the insight to hire the best talent.  
             
In this webinar Dr. Charles Handler, President, SOVA, US will share his research and advice for building a streamlined, efficient, and candidate-centric hiring process that transforms your organization’s candidate experience:·      

 - What are the key trends and innovations in candidate assessment
 - Why your HR tech stack is alienating your candidates
 - How to blend science and technology to optimize your hiring process
 - 3 steps you can take to get started

Transforming Talent Assessment: How to move from Test to Experience

For anyone involved in hiring and developing talent right now, the pressure is on. Pressure to do more with less resource to find, attract and retain the best talent.

But organisations are wasting resources on disjointed, out-of-date, and inefficient talent assessment processes. The result? A complicated tech stack, unnecessary layers of costs, stretched hiring teams, frustrated candidates and talent lost to competitors.  

So, how do you create a new kind of hiring journey that is highly cost efficient, swift and engaging without cutting corners? In this webinar we examine how to make hiring processes highly efficient, with demonstrable cost savings and hire the talent you need faster than ever before.

Plus:

 • Removing data silos and prioritising the candidate experience with all-in-one technology.

 • How global organisations like Vodafone are streamlining their hiring processes at scale and pace with Sova’s Assessment Experience Platform.

 • Freeing up talent teams to engage in high-value activities with candidates and employees.

Finding Efficiency: Reducing costs and optimising the hiring process

Speed and rigour can no longer be mutually exclusive: talent strategy in a volatile market will require a focus on both speed AND rigour, with the balance leaning towards speed. But, how do you ensure you retain and upskill your talent and hire the right people in an unsteady market?

In this webinar our panel of experts, Dr. Charles Handler, Founder of Rocket Hire, Dr. Alan Bourne, CEO & Founder of Sova and Claire Rahmatallah, Director of Marketing from Sova will explore this topic, sharing learning and practical support to help your organisation achieve the right outcomes.

In this webinar we'll be discussing:
- The current talent landscape – what’s changed and how organisations are struggling
- The top talent related challenges in 2022
- How organisations can maintain speed and rigour when hiring
- Robust mechanisms for talent development

Why Speed and Rigour matter in Talent Acquisition

Resourcing teams have always been under pressure to design efficient, effective, engaging and equitable hiring processes. In the light of Covid-19, we should also add ‘resilient’ to that list – the ability to switch between the in-person and virtual elements of the recruitment process.  As organisations navigate a pandemic recovery, there is increased pressure and scrutiny to get the balance right between all these factors without compromise. For example, in pursuit of optimising the efficiency of the hiring process, blunt assessment measures are used to reduce the volume of applications at the expense of fairness; or introducing disjointed assessment stages to make the best hiring decision, only to alienate your applicants with a long-drawn-out process. The reality is that we want to optimise the recruitment process for efficiency, effectiveness, experience, and equity which means using smart, configurable assessment technology, built to deliver all of these critical factors at scale.  In this session, we will explore:  - How organisations are navigating these challenges - How to build a hiring process without the trade-offs - The experiences of a panel of talent acquisition experts, including Nationwide, Primark and Kier Group who have built recruitment processes that work for the organisation and their applicants

Transform the recruitment process for you and your candidates

Inequality and inequity persist across society; individuals from various demographic groups and backgrounds continue to experience lack of social mobility as well as unfair treatment and discrimination. This is acutely apparent in the world of work, where significant group differences remain, in terms of pay, job opportunities and security, and fair and respectful treatment.

But focusing on equality alone is not enough when it comes to assessment and recruitment processes. We need to do more and strive for equitable assessment, where we genuinely level the playing field for all. 

Simple, one-off solutions for promoting diversity and inclusion in assessment also fall short. Effective approaches require the right people, processes, and systems to work together to create meaningful and lasting change. The size of this task can often appear overwhelming, so ensuring HR teams have accessible and practical guidance as to how to turn intention into action is key.

During this panel discussion our in-house experts Hema Bakhshi, People & Culture Director, Dr Alan Bourne, CEO & Founder and Lucie Ilbury, Head of Client Enablement will share tangible actions your organisation can take to optimise your assessment and recruitment processes for ED&I. 

We’ll discuss:

• The landscape – the breadth of the issues that organisations and individuals face. 
• The role of assessment in diversity and inclusion and clarity over the business case for equitable assessment.
• Specific components of the assessment process that can threaten diversity, inclusion, and equity.
• The importance of a strategic, long-term perspective to support meaningful and sustained change.

Optimising your recruitment processes for ED&I

How to effectively role out a global talent assessment digital transformation project. 

Rolling out a global assessment transformation project that’s digital-first that meets the needs of your candidates, and your multinational organisation and is part of wider transformation project to improve customer experience is no small undertaking. The demands on your tech, team and time are all crucial elements to consider when transforming your talent assessment processes.  

However, to ensure the wider digital transformation of your business can be effective you need the right candidates in the right roles, so it’s crucial for the roll-out of your processes and technology to be seamless, to ensure change management is a success and delivers the ultimate candidate experience. 

During this webinar, we’ll sit down with Margarita Echeverria Rengifo, Global Head of Talent Assessment, Vodafone, Simon Defoe, Global Talent Manager, Vodafone, and Dr. Alan Bourne, CEO & Founder at Sova to discuss: 

1. How could talent assessment be deployed and democratised across a global business, balancing consistency with individual market autonomy?
2. How could talent assessment play a direct role in the digital transformation of your company, both in terms of technology and outcomes? 
3. How can assessment support your company’s commitment to diversity that is key to finding the talent you need to transform?
4. How can talent strategy become more closely aligned to your company values and goals?

Talent assessment for a global digital world with Vodafone

The future of recruitment lies in processes which are fair, engaging, virtual yet personal. For large organisations where the talent acquisition function needs to remain at the leading edge of innovation ensuring candidates have a great experience and remaining fair can be a difficult balance to strike. The demands on your tech, team and time are all crucial elements to consider when transforming your talent assessment processes.  

During this webinar we’ll speak to Jenna Alexander, Director of Internal Talent Acquisition at Randstad UK about how they delivered a fully virtual and scalable end-to-end recruitment solution for Randstad’s own hires.  

Randstad is a global leader in the HR services industry and the largest recruitment agency in the world. In 2020, Randstad helped nearly two million candidates find a meaningful job with more than 236,000 clients.

We’ll dig deeper into:

• What a recruitment process fit for the future looks like
• How to create a virtualised, scalable end-to-end talent acquisition process 
• What a future focused, efficient candidate and employee experience means 

Please note, this is a pre-recorded session run in partnership with HR Grapevine
