You'll walk away with tactics to increase qualified candidate engagement by as much as 300%, and you'll reach many more qualified candidates from diverse backgrounds.

Embrace more effective strategies when describing skills and education requirements in your job postings
...and more!
Angie Verros
In this session, Angie will showcase how her team has helped organizations scale during their most critical times. Our sourcers, our team -- your time zone, your tech, your compliance needs. Our expertise when it comes to finding qualified candidates is unmatched. How do we do it?
Mark Tortorici
As
staffing professionals, we
have extremely
time-consuming jobs. The
hiring managers that we
support are just as busy.
Both of us are driven by
deadlines and are under
pressure to deliver results.
Both of us bring a certain
expertise to the table when
we interact. So why are
there so many disconnects?
Why are hiring managers
looking for one thing while
the recruiter or sourcer
looks for something
else?
There are some
very good steps that you can
take when working with
hiring managers. From the
initial req intake, through
sourcing, and all the way
until candidate closing,
there are improvements that
you can make at every stage.
In this session, Mark
Tortorici will talk about
hiring manager hacks that
you can use, no matter what
size the company. This
includes everything from
research, strategies,
planning, intake meetings,
sourcing, resume reviews,
candidate write-ups,
interview preps, and
interactions that make up
the staffing professional -
hiring manager relationship.
Be prepared to come take
notes, discuss ideas and
share stories about how the
respect of the hiring
manager was gained. You'll
come away from this training
with a set of tools and
hacks that you can use to
elevate your role within
your hiring
organization.

Shannon Pritchett
Glen Cathey
Introverts account for about one in three people among all genders, races, ethnicities and ages. Unfortunately, the unconscious “extrovert ideal” present in many cultures leads to work environments in which introverts feel as if they don’t belong and where they earn and get promoted less than extroverts. In this session, Glen will share his experiences and insights from navigating the world of work as an introvert, make the case for including introversion in diversity, neurodiversity, and inclusion efforts and offer practical suggestions for creating environments in which introverts can bring their authentic selves to work.
Lars Schmidt
We’re
living in the golden age of
community in HR and
recruiting. Gone are the
days when we believed in a
zero-sum game of recruiting
and kept our practices
locked away with a black box
mentality. The rise of
open-source practices is
propelling the field forward
at an accelerating pace.
Community will be the
foundation of this new world
of work we’re building -
together.
In this
interactive keynote, Amplify
Founder, Lars Schmidt, will
share lessons, stories and
failures from over twenty
years of community building
from offline to online
spanning the Entertainment
Human Resources Group
(EHRN), HR Open Source and
the Amplify Accelerator
communities.
Experience everything that Sante Fe has to offer! We'll be hosting a variety of themed experiences to energize and reset you for remaining the afternoon sessions.
Get recharged! Get a little sunshine, enjoy the fresh air and take a quick walk with a sourcing advisor.
