When talent acquisition processes lose their focus, many symptoms begin to emerge, from over-reliance on manual activities to reduced responsiveness and a negative impact on the candidate experience. Recently, Southern Company, one of the largest electricity generators in the US, addressed these recruiting challenges and transformed its talent acquisition operations through a highly detailed strategic assessment, vendor evaluation, and implementation effort.

In this session, Sean Kent of The Newman Group and Rob Sunderland of Southern Company will provide insight that can help you overcome the challenges of implementing a Talent Acquisition system and, as a result, transform your recruiting operations. They will cover tactics for identifying needs, setting objectives, gaining support; strategies for establishing and maintaining ownership and responsibility; and best practices for evaluating and implementing talent systems. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from the experience of talent leaders involved in a challenging implementation that delivered great results.
