Breakout Session
During this current recruitment boom, it’s important for agencies to maximise the opportunity in front of them. So how do we attract and retain talent in this current competitive, talent-short landscape? Company culture has always played a part in many agencies’ retention strategies, and is becoming harder to maintain with the shift to flexible working. In this session, Lauren Thom, Global Account Director Bullhorn will speak to a panel of leading agencies to explore the ways in which they have attracted top talent to their businesses, battled the counter offer, and kept their current staff engaged and sticky, all whilst maintaining a strong sense of company culture.
In today’s world, data rules. All important business decisions are data-driven and analytics can help you make sense of data you have at hand.

Joe McGuire, Bullhorn’s Sales & Strategy Director, Analytics, and Weston Wright, Bullhorn’s Solution Consultant, will take you through the best practices of data hygiene, automation, and analytics that will help you drive better business decisions within your organisation.

For every second spent completing a manual admin task, time is lost which could have been spent interviewing candidates. For every view burned on a job board, candidates are lying untouched in your database. For every candidate placed, several more were viewed on job boards but never made it into your database.

Understanding how marketing fits into your business workflows will help you make valuable decisions that will drive a better return on your technology investments.

Not many people can lay claim to being a Paralympic gold medallist and world champion whilst still being in their teenage years. Australian of the Year 2022, Dylan Alcott AO is one of the country’s most successful and well-recognised Paralympians. Dylan is a three-time Paralympic Gold Medallist, and four-time Paralympic Medallist in two sports, wheelchair tennis and wheelchair basketball.
After overcoming extreme adversity, Alcott is the epitome of rising to the occasion and meeting your moment, whatever that moment may be. In his keynote address at Engage Sydney 2022, Alcott will discuss how to become the best version of yourself while taking risks to achieve your goals. Born with a tumour wrapped around his spinal cord and without the use of his legs, Alcott was able to beat the odds and achieve more than the doctors ever thought he would. In his keynote address, he’ll share his views on disability awareness and education and encourage attendees to change their perceptions of people with disabilities.
As founder of the Dylan Alcott Foundation, a foundation created to help young Australians who are struggling to come to terms with their disabilities, as well as business owner, radio host, TV presenter, global keynote speaker, best-selling author, social advocate, and all-round game-changer, Alcott will inspire Engage Sydney attendees to Meet the Moment and push themselves outside of their comfort zone to achieve their dreams.
