Tech Rec 2023 has come to an end and these are Day 2 highlights:
1. Start with the essentials: it snowed in #berlin ❄
2. Joke aside, the 2nd day was dedicated to very strong Case Studies (my brain still processes all the knowledge - struggling to prioritise "what should I try first?") and to the World Cafes - which are workshops running for approximately 3.5h 👨🏫 - I will write a full article with the findings from my World Cafe soon.

Personal highlights:
👨🎓 - Dr. Magdalena Masluk-Meller - WOW - #talentintelligence on steroids. People, get your hands on her presentation! What SAP is doing when it comes to being ahead of its talent competition is solid!
Notable: Talent Battlecards, Talent Alert (imagine a newsletter on steroids), Insights, Mapping and Pipeline projects)
👨🔧 - Anna Porko and Emilie Baage Stuhr - Design Thinking applied to their E2E candidate / hiring process journey t Novo Nordisk. what a challenge to face and a presentation packed with relevant details.
Notable: #designthinking should be a skill every Talent Acquisition partner should develop.
🕵♂️ - Clara Kiani - a really strong, both theoretical and practical lesson on #biases creeping in our Recruitment Processes. And most importantly, data-backed details about what we can and should do to avoid and / or overcome this hurdle. Again, get your hands on the presentation and then use it!
Notable: IQ tests in your hiring processes are a very strong indicator of your future quality of hire. Even if it is so rarely used - only 2% of the time. (I am personally against such tests, but data is data).
😍 - Sergej Zimpel and Jess Zimmermann - Kind of saved the best for last? 😊 Their work primarily focused on how to build trust in a remote distributed team and, through trust and relationship building, help your team achieve greater hiring results. Loved all the quotes they brought to the table and the effort put in for strengthening human-bonds. It paid off!
Otherwise, a strong event, once more, from we.CONECT - Discover a unique B2B event experience! with a great vibe, lots of coffee, good sponsor partners (had some great conversations with Cornerstone OnDemand - actually I really like their product and Christian van Ledden and Dr. Sebastian Duda).
Same goes for this 💎 of a product (we should all use - really) Starred - where Naomi G. Højgaard kindly showed me a live demo and Lars van Wieren spoke to us about community enablement 🙌 .
Yeah, what a(nother) Day ❤️
