Agenda

The Power of People

While the recruitment industry puts three million people to work each week in North America alone, generating $420 billion in annual revenue, what makes it special isn't the numbers it generates - it's the lives it changes. Staffing and recruiting companies help people put food on their table, earn a decent living, and provide for their families. It closes the gap between raw talent and opportunity. The staffing industry is about so much more than filling open jobs. It is about helping people build fulfilling lives.

Engage Boston 2019 is proud to help the staffing and recruiting industry grow their businesses through a powerful combination of relationships and technology. It's about the Power of People to:

  • Tackle the talent shortage with innovative new strategies
  • Reskill workers to create new talent pools
  • Engage under-allocated candidate groups
  • Lead by example and advance your corporate culture

Super Session - Upskilling, Reskilling, Downskilling: Hidden Talent, Open Jobs - Panel
engage-talent
Location: Back Bay A & B, 2nd Floor
In an unprecedented talent shortage, with historically low unemployment, the need for creative generation of new labor pools has never been higher. The answer is reskilling - but how can agencies get started with these initiatives, should they be internal or external, and what constitutes success from a metrics perspective? This panel will focus on a frank and open discussion of the challenges and opportunities inherent in creating reskilling programs and techniques that staffing companies are leveraging to make reskilling work for them and their talent pools, including but not limited to: investing in their own training academies and in-house universities; catering to specific demographics of traditionally marginalized talent pools for reskilling such as neurodiverse candidates and veterans; and acquiring or partnering with learning institutions. This is a cannot-miss panel of visionary industry leaders.

Super Session - Level Up: Six Degrees of Customer Relationships and How to Use Each to Your Advantage
engage-leadership
Location: Back Bay C & D, 2nd Floor
Developing strong client relationships is the backbone of any business. Understanding how client relationships work, and the roles they play, is extremely important. Experts in the sales and marketing realm use differing processes to define the status of client relationships. Some follow a standard “sales funnel” approach, while others use a “buyer’s journey.” And of course, some use both. We certainly see the value in a sales funnel approach from a sales end and a buyer’s journey from a marketing perspective. That’s why we use what we refer to as the “client evolution model.” It combines the best of both worlds: the activities needed by both teams to move a prospective client up the relationship chart. In today’s session, we’ll explore the six degrees of customer relationships and how to use each to your advantage. Takeaways: A model that drives selling, recruiting, marketing, forecasting, and operations. Clarity on where you’re focusing, time, energy, and resources to take your business to the next level. Heading off disconnects that occur between sales and the rest of the organization.

There is no greater currency in recruiting than trust. Trust that only humans can provide.

But trust is the result of a confluence of important factors - incredible talent, excellent employers, and great matchmaking that enables recruiters to use their expertise and interpersonal intelligence to bring the right people together with the right opportunity. In this thought-provoking keynote address, Art Papas, Bullhorn’s founder and CEO, will answer the question: “how do you build trust?” and explore how the power of people - to transform their skills, their approach to working, and their relationships - will move our entire industry forward.

Five Actionable Strategies for Growing Your Talent Pools - Fireside Chat
