Our first executive dinner for talent acquisition leaders was a huge success! 🌟 Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting talent acquisition professionals from well-known brands such as Sky, Vodafone, TUI, Burberry, Standard Chartered, and JOE & THE JUICE. It was an evening filled with insightful conversations, networking, and the exchange of innovative ideas in the 'Chefs Table' private dining room at the exquisite KOL restaurant. We wanted to thank all the dynamic professionals who attended and made the evening truly enriching. Your presence and participation were invaluable, and we hope you found the event as rewarding as we did. Following on from the success of this inaugural dinner, we’re also excited to announce that our next dinner will be held at the end of January 2025. If you’re a talent acquisition leader interested in joining us for another evening of connection and inspiration, please let us know by DM or in the comments. #TalentAcquisition #TalentAssessment #ExecutiveDinner #Networking #TALeaders

💡  How should we address candidates’ shortening attention spans? 💡 The jury is still out on whether technology and social media are truly shortening our attention spans. But one thing is clear: a lengthy, complex application process can frustrate candidates and lead to high drop-off rates. Here’s how talent acquisition teams can address this challenge: ✍ Write clear, concise job descriptions that highlight the key details candidates care about: salary, benefits, and job duties. ✅ Optimise assessments by making them engaging and interactive. Use short, science-backed tests that provide accurate results without overwhelming applicants. 💻 Leverage technology to streamline the application process. Tools like asynchronous video interviews are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility. 📊  Make data-driven decisions by tracking where candidates drop off. Use this data to refine your processes and improve engagement. For more insights on this topic, check out the latest issue of our Talent Signals newsletter, featuring expert advice from Sova's principal psychologist, Grace Scott, and Sova's principal I/O psychologist, Jason Furneaux 👇
