The Colleague Café is your chance to talk with presenters and attendees in a very personal way. Select presenters will host their own Cafés to take your questions and discuss pressing talent challenges. While you're there, meet with other like-minded colleagues over similar topics and issues.

Job descriptions are the currency of recruiting. You should never hire without one. Still, so many of us are left in the dark when it comes to the why not, how-to, and details behind the entire job creation process.

In fairness, it's not like anyone else in the company was taught what to do. We were all guessing.

There was no workshop on it - until now.

This Writing Better Job Postings Workshop covers practical and tactical advice you can use to write better job postings after this conference. You’ll learn tactics for hiring manager intake, writing better bullets and more practical advice centered in reality, not that fluffy stuff.

Gender and racial equity in the workplace are no longer talking points, they are standards demanded by your next hire, your board of directors, your loyal customers.

- Actionable insights and tools to expand your candidate pool and promote gender and racial equity in the hiring process

- Hands-on practice developing and implementing an interview rubric designed to mitigate bias
