Engage Conference Agenda 2022

In Bullhorn’s recent GRID Talent Survey of 2,000+ perm, freelance, and temp workers in North America and the UK, 70% said that they want human interaction during the search and placement process. In a time when the talent shortage is top of mind, how can recruiters consistently engage with talent in a way that’s both intentional and scalable?

The healthcare staffing sector is perennially growing but faces new, particularly challenging obstacles, the most pressing of which is the ever-present talent shortage and the growing importance of retaining talent. According to a recent Mercer study, just over 3M individuals work as registered nurses in the US, and demand for these professionals will grow by at least 5% over the next five years. With nearly 1M workers expected to permanently leave the profession, over half of US states will not be able to fill the demand for nursing talent. This session, featuring a panel of healthcare staffing leaders, will focus on changes in healthcare staffing, tectonic shifts and their impacts, and ways to leverage technology to address critical talent and skills challenges.

In this eye-opening session, you’ll learn about the most pressing recruiting challenges and opportunities facing leaders today, and how the most successful leaders run their businesses.

You’ll walk away with the staffing insights you need to make smart decisions about your business and future-proof against competitive threats.

Introducing tools to automate and digitize processes doesn’t mean the end of the recruiter.

We’ll share actionable takeaways and introduce you to Bullhorn solutions to help your team create a single source
of truth to ultimately improve the candidate experience and exceed client expectations. 

How have successful staffing companies grown their operations by leveraging the full technology ecosystem? Can productivity be increased by a diverse set of technologies?

If the pandemic and recent economic uncertainty have taught us anything, it’s that firms that readily adapt to challenges are most likely to win out over the competition. A key source of growth for many staffing firms has been diversifying their service offerings, including pivoting or opening new verticals to incorporate SOW, RPO, or Direct Sourcing models into their business. While many firms have taken advantage of the recent staffing industry acceleration, this rapid growth won’t last forever. How can you future-proof your business to ensure you continue to grow and succeed over your competitors? In this session, you’ll hear from a panel of industry leaders on how they’ve approached diversification in their own businesses and what other firms should be thinking about as they consider diversification as a growth strategy.
