Future-Proofing Talent Perspectives
As the world becomes a smaller place with rapidly advancing technology and increasing talent mobility, the “war for talent” is soon to become the “global war for talent”. Traditional HR selection processes are unravelling and the focus is shifting towards talent spotter initiatives, talent analytics and a hunger for diversity and inclusion. This means that Career Services must engage in initiatives to leverage the power of alliances to gain strength, momentum and visibility for their talent. This session will shed light on the fundamental changes taking place and what this means from the recruiter, academic and talent perspective.

  • Amber Wigmore Alvarez, Chief Innovation Officer, Highered EFMD Shared Career Services
  • Kendall Brown, Career Services and Marketing Manager, Highered EFMD Shared Career Services

09:15 – 11:30

Plenary II: How Artifical Intelligence is impacting Talent Acquisition
Aim: Digital recruitment is happening now and will increase in the year to come. However, what is the impact on the different actors of the market (candidates, companies…)? nCore is transforming the experience for both candidates and companies but could also be applied to business schools. Lets experience this live! And lets see how A.I can substitute humanity.

  • Luca Ortolani, General Manager, nCore, IT
