That’s where the Talent Makers come in - the hiring heroes and business leaders who are changing the way organisations prioritise and invest in Talent. These people-first companies are the ones that will win in their markets. In this session, Colm O Cuinneain will share how winning organisations win through a structured, inclusive and collaborative hiring process. He'll share the framework for talent making, and tips for developing exceptional talent strategies that lead to great teams. From your hiring strategy, to your employer brand, right through to your candidate experience, talent making is both a process and a mindset across your organisation. Colm draws from his own journey of scaling Greenhouse Software in EMEA, exploring how being a Talent Maker means being a hiring hero who makes the difference.
