Session Descriptions:
The 85%+ Response Rate Blueprint (Stacy Zapar)
Sourcing in 2016 involves identification and engagement. It’s become easier to find great talent than it is to get them to respond to your outreach. We know the SourceCon audience agrees because when Stacy Zapar, an 18-year recruiting veteran, presented on the topic in Denver, she brought down the house. Stacy is returning with all new information and will be sharing her best tips, tricks, and strategies that have led her to consistently get an 85%+ response rate from candidates. Learn which tools, outreach strategies and engagement techniques work best, are easy to implement, and lead to real results.

The Power of Unconscious Bias in the Recruiting Process (James Wright)
In an evolving society where the workforce and customer base has changed significantly and will continue to shift, it is essential for organizations to understand and demonstrate the impact of Unconscious Bias on organizational behavior, employee productivity and engagement and economic potential. All of this begins in the recruiting process, and with interview teams who may be allowing their Unconscious Biases to impact their hiring decisions.
During this interactive learning experience, new skills will be gained in decision-making, building inclusive teams and cultures, intercultural communications, and increasing employee engagement that helps identify and address the bias in HR recruiting processes.
In this session, participants will:
- Examine their background and identity so that they can interact more authentically with candidates, coworkers, customers, and the community.
- Explore how the brain functions so that they can recognize Unconscious Bias as a natural function of the human mind.
- Expose patterns of Unconscious Bias so that they can navigate their impact on decision-making.
- Confront their own biases so that they can practice conscious awareness.
- Discuss strategies and walk away with tools that will help create systemic change throughout the organization.
