Agenda
Recruiting Technology is booming, and RecOps teams are evaluating more tools than ever to keep their teams competitive. This track is for those looking to understand what the best teams are doing from a tactical standpoint from leveraging AI to enabling recruiters.
We’ve all seen it: your team builds a fantastic program, Initiative, or runs a great project only to have a key person leave and it falls apart or we don’t get the adoption we were expecting. Dive into workshops and discussion on building sustainable programs that are built to scale, aligning headcount with organizational goals and optimizing recruiter resources.
Data literacy is crucial to having an individual and team impact, so understanding how to enhance this capability is essential. We’ll explore the tools and emerging technologies revolutionizing how we derive insights for recruiting teams and company leadership. We’ll discuss the big ones: Quality of Hire, Headcount/Capacity planning, and forecasting. Additionally, learn how to drive equity in recruiting by integrating robust metrics, data collection, and comprehensive reporting, ensuring fair and inclusive practices throughout your organization.
A clear strategy leveraging tactical expertise while maintaining alignment with the recruiting function and the business is key to elevating your Recruiting Operations teams to new heights. Dive into discussions around how to position your team to showcase its indispensable value to the business by defining precise team objectives, establishing effective structures, and prioritizing work efficiently.

It’s impossible to escape AI in our tools. You see them in sourcing, ATS, CRM, and so much more. So what will this mean to the future of our space, what skills will future RecOps Leaders need, how will we help our teams adjust and grow with the new technology.
We’ll rotate through 2-3 timely topics as selected by attendees:
- Streamlining recruitment processes with Automation
- Conducting Vendor Tool Assessments
- Nerding Out on Tech with Power Users
- How do you demonstrate impact
These discussions serve as a valuable platform for individuals to build meaningful relationships, exchange ideas, and stay informed about the latest trends and opportunities within recruiting operations.
Experience live demonstrations of the latest tech innovations, learn from industry experts about their successful implementations, and participate in engaging workshops to deepen your understanding and skills. Choose from three options to see technology in action, discuss its impact, and gain practical insights to apply in your own projects.
Quality of Hire… we know we know! But we have to discuss it as a community. How do we measure it? How do we measure the subjective and objective inputs? We’ll tackle the big questions.

As RecOps professionals, we join organizations throughout their maturity. However, one thing is clear: RecOps succeeds when viewed as a strategic partner. We’ll discuss the partnerships, the art and science of communication, and ways to develop your RecOps function from customer support to strategic partner.
As the keepers of the data, RecOps professionals are often responsible for building and telling the story behind it. Venturing beyond the bar charts and dashboards, we’ll showcase ways to deliver the information for impact and how to position your Recruiting team as an impact generator for your company.

To succeed in RecOps, you must learn and leverage many different skills. While exciting, it can also leave you with questions:
- “What skill do I need to grow to get to the next level?”
- “What is that next level?”
- “What are my options beyond the RecOps fence?”
We’ll answer these questions and more.
Data and analytics make up a huge portion of RecOps. As you grow your career, you move from simple reports (e.g., number of hires, time to fill) to more complex (e.g., headcount/capacity planning, forecasts). During this time, we’ll focus on more than just the how but also the why and the when to help you understand the cycles.
Experience live demonstrations of the latest tech innovations, learn from industry experts about their successful implementations, and participate in engaging workshops to deepen your understanding and skills.
