Trend (1): Pursuit of excellence via accountability

Critical strategic needs:

➔ Replace their homegrown ATS

➔ Hiring manager pipeline visibility

➔ Engineering team buy-in

Nellie PeshkovVP Talent Acquisition

“Tell hiring managers this is going to be hard. Don’t make recruiting seem easy - it’s not.”

Trend (2): Relationship-building via marketing techniques

Critical strategic needs:

➔ Movement away from indiscriminate blasting

➔ Switch to relationships and engagement

➔ Use of technology that enables and measures

Mike BailenDirector of Recruiting

“The ultimate winners in our space will be those who study the marketing playbook, build out a multi-touchpoint candidate journey, and apply a relationship-based approach… all while measuring so they can figure out what’s actually working.”

Trend (3): Diversity & inclusion is no longer just a fad
