Sourcing Summit Agenda

SOURCING STRATEGY
The world of talent acquisition is changing rapidly in Europe. Data gets created with breaking speed, and the tools and techniques required to engage, source and hire talent continues to evolve. Change seems to be the only constant. How will those responsible for talent acquisition cope in a world of change?

At #SOSUEU we will set our gaze on the whole talent sourcing life-cycle with a particular focus on the issues and challenges faced by sourcing leaders. We will set our eyes on emerging trends from privacy laws to legal implications of social engagements. We will look at tools and new technologies, sourcing best-practices and will decipher the ever changing behavior of talent. Delegates will develop a big-picture view of talent acquisition and the tactical nous required to be an agent of change.
