WILLIAM TINCUP / KEYNOTE
How a recruiter spend a typical day have a direct bearing on how successful he/she will be. But, what looks like a typical day for a recruiter last year will look very different in 2016, and profoundly more so in five years time. Candidates will have more information and higher expectations, clients will have more options and disrupting forces – technological, social, business – can appear from nowhere. How can recruiters navigate the treacherous road ahead?
Part interactive workshop and part-keynote, in this session internationally acclaimed HR futurist William Tincup will explore the current business environment recruiters operate in, dissect current pain points and offer solutions. William will take delegates on a rollicking crystal gazing ride of predicting future scenarios and will offer practical solutions gained from interacting with recruitment leaders across the world.

– Understand changing business environment for recruiters
– How the future will look for third party recruiters
– Solutions to keep recruiters sleep easy at night
– Hacking a day in the life of a recruiter

VARIOUS SPEAKERS 
We talk about business performance as it relates to client and candidate satisfaction…We talk about metrics, productivity and data integrity. One thing missing from the conversation, that applies across all recruitment environments and also our clients which has also now proven to drive better business performance is the importance of women in leadership.
Is the conversation a little bit uncomfortable at times? Yes. Is it a conversation where we always have all the right answers. No. Is it a conversation that needs to be had. Yes. This is not a conversation about men or women. This is a conversation about culture and leadership. This is one part my story of answering the “Why not me”” question and one part “why it must be you”.
What does the road ahead looks like for in-house and agency recruiters? Can buyers and sellers engage in a win-win situation? How can the relationship between agencies be improved? In this session George will look at the NZ recruitment market and address the gap, and sometime acrimonious, in the relationship between in-house and agency recruiters and highlight how everyone can benefit from a more congenial approach to recruitment and candidate outreach.
