The Science of Talent Attraction:
Finding the Right Fit

11–12 November 2015

Four Seasons Hampshire | Hampshire, England

What to expect

Today, many businesses face a permanent talent shortage, changing the employment power structure for good and putting the candidate in control.

This challenge means every employer needs a way to attract, not acquire, talent. Understanding candidates’ motivations around job search and career decisions is the secret to designing a successful talent attraction strategy.

Join us at Indeed Interactive, where we'll explore the science of talent attraction and hear from the industry’s brightest storytellers and talent attractors. These sessions will reveal data-driven discoveries on candidate behaviour and emerging recruitment technologies.

Indeed will cover your ground transport to and from the airport or train station, as well as Wednesday night hotel expenses. More details will follow in your registration confirmation email.

Registration for this event has now been closed.

Thank you for your interest in Indeed Interactive. Please contact interactive@indeed.com if you have any questions.
