Hello Talent & HR folks 👋

Let's face it, candidate experience has been less than stellar lately. In fact, many folks in our own Talent/People industry have ALSO been on the receiving end of what can only be described as a...."less than delightful" candidate experience. And yes, we're being polite! 🙊🌶️

Naturally, we have a lot of sympathy for our internal teams at the minute (100's of extra applications per role, skeletal staff in a cost-constrained environment and more).

We understand the challenges are real. But also, we *love* hearing from folks who are rising to it - and they're continuing to find ways to innovate and get creative with tech, systems and process so they can STILL deliver a kick-@ss candidate experience that feels special, personalised, memorable, and dare we say it... seamless.

Join us to hear from our expert panel on the secrets to creating a delightful candidate experience.

Topics we'll cover:
- You'll hear from a range of companies—from startups to scale-ups to enterprises—on how they craft their candidate experience strategies. Discover how they manage to deliver personalised experiences, even at scale.
- Learn about innovative approaches and creative solutions that are making a real difference.
- Get the lowdown on the latest tech and automation tools that can help measure and improve candidate experience.

Our incredible keynote speaker - Sophia Witherington (Product expert from Canva with a rich background in recruitment) - will share valuable lessons for Talent professionals to learn from the Product world. Think mapping candidate journeys, enhancing key touchpoints, and more!

On the night, we'll also be joined by four outstanding panel speakers:
💜 Kate Boniface - Senior Talent Attraction & Mobility Manager @ Australia Post
💜 Steve Gard - Founder of The Circle Back Initiative
💜 Kaylee Langbridge - Talent Experience Specialist @ Xero
💜 Jamie Finnegan - Head of Talent (fractional), Advisory

We guarentee you'll walk away with a head full of new insights, a heart full of new connections AND a belly full of quality pizza (it truly is delicious! 🍕😁).

Massive thank you to our hosts at Dovetail, and to our brilliant sponsors HiBob & Hatch for making this meetup possible! 🙏
