As the job market opens up, employers face the challenge of attracting, engaging and retaining top talent. At the same time, recent research indicates that roughly one-third of companies report a turnover rate of nearly twenty-five percent occurring within the first ninety days of employment. This begs the question, are these obstacles here to stay or can employers overcome the odds?

During the PeopleTech Conference and Expo, Christy Whitehead, Ph.D., senior data scientist at PeopleMatter, will set the stage for what’s trending and share the three secrets of hiring success to help employers improve hiring efficiency and drive employee retention. Through real-world case studies, Whitehead will demonstrate how employers can build stronger quality talent pools by focusing on talent analytics, candidate experience and assessments. From tracking talent analytics to determine what’s working versus what’s not, offering a candidate experience that is mobile, responsive, convenient and communicative, and prescreening applicants using scientifically proven assessment tests, attendees will be armed with specific, proven strategies and best practices for attracting, engaging and retaining top talent.
