“In 2015, I would like to move the talent focus away from purely immediate and short term needs and place greater emphasis on 5 and 10 + years ahead. The

drive should be to arm ourselves against key succession gaps and work in collaboration as organizations to influence the next generation of talent.”

Jennifer Candee Head of Global Talent Acquisition

SABMiller

  “How can the TA team be laser

focused on game changing recruiting strategies for the business? We can’t do what

we have always done, so what are we doing differently in the key areas of Talent Delivery,

Talent Operations and Talent Pipelines to win top talent for

our organization.”

Melissa Thompson Sr. Director, Talent Acquisition

Citrix

“2015 is the year of improving human experiences in recruiting. My new year’s resolution is to stop having the circular conversation, “the candidate is a customer and the customer is also a candidate.”

Everyone is a customer, period. At every step, ask ourselves this question: Is that how we should treat our customers?” 

Phil Hendrickson Chief Talent Strategist

Qwalify

“I’ll continue to use creative ways to engage and invigorate

our employee talent ambassadors. One idea we are exploring is asking employees to be a part of telling our story

with infographics or selfie videos that we can post on our

career site and social media properties. This is a fun and

creative way to share authentic and meaningful employment

brand messages.”  

Brett Underhill Director, Recruiting Programs

Prudential Financial

 “First: Let at least 3 people per day know how grateful I am for them in specific terms. Second: Never use HR or TA lingo or

language... always talk in business terms.”

Mike Bailen Director of Recruiting

  “My professional resolution for 2015 is to reach out and

get to know industry experts and thought

leaders outside of the TA space. Gaining diversity of thought and perspective is the catalyst for new ideas

and innovation.”

“One of my professional resolutions is to better understand

the peripheral niche areas that touch recruiting. I plan on

attending SourceCon to learn how technology is fundamentally changing the way organizations

identify and attract talent. I also plan on attending Direct

Employers, which offers lessons in compliance surrounding our

profession.”

Rob Dromgoole Director of Talent Acquisition

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

“In 2015, I will ignite the Law of Attraction through digital

storytelling. To me, this means having people identify lululemon

as a brand that they have a connection with and choose. I plan to build authentic buzz

about lululemon athletica as an employer by sharing the stories and experiences of our people.”
