Join the Talent Makers to win at hiring

Finding, attracting and hiring the right people is more competitive and more vital to business growth than ever before, demanding that the entire organisation is engaged in the hiring process. And if you want to attract the best, you have to be the best. We’re so excited to share that Greenhouse will host a session at RecFest UK called Embracing the Talent Makers mindset: How to build a culture of great hiring.

In this session, Greenhouse General Manager of EMEA Colm O’ Cuinneain will share how organisations win through a structured, inclusive and collaborative hiring process. He'll share the framework for talent making – how leaders prioritize strategic hiring and act on it – and tips for developing exceptional talent strategies that lead to great teams.

As the hiring heroes and business leaders who are changing the way organisations prioritize and invest in talent, Talent Makers™ at people-first companies are the ones that will win in their markets. From your hiring strategy, to your employer brand, right through to your candidate experience, talent making should be both a process and a mindset across your organisation. Colm draws from his own journey of scaling Greenhouse Software in EMEA, exploring how being a Talent Maker means being a hiring hero who makes the difference.

Hiring, and work in general, is undergoing a seismic shift right now, and it has never been more important for leaders and hiring teams to get it right. It starts with a structured process and with taking on a Talent Maker mindset to impress candidates and make the process as fair and seamless for everyone involved as possible. That’s what I’ll be digging into on the RecFest stage.
