Mobile is no longer just a product feature – it has become the reality for how we do business. This week, at the HR Technology Conference in Chicago, we unveiled our latest recruiting solution: Entelo Stack for Mobile. Here are the 3 biggest reasons I am excited about this launch:
We’ll be broadcasting live as the official podcast of this year’s HR Technology Conference and Expo!

SourceCon is one of talent acquisition’s biggest events, connecting influencers and practitioners to share their savvy on the state of hiring.
Over 700 attendees and 32 speakers from companies including Indeed, GitHub, and Lockheed Martin gathered in Anaheim last week for the conference. While the “two days of sourcing magic” have wrapped up since, we round up highlights from a handful of lucky attendees sharing their favorite conversations.
Hired Recruiting Manager Matt Hughes joins forces with Hiring On All Cylinders to talk about how he’s optimizing the org’s internal interviewing and hiring processes. Matt shares the successes and challenges of building partnerships between hiring managers and the talent team, the importance of writing digestible candidate emails, and how Hired’s mission to advocate talent is transforming the way people connect with orgs. He even shares a bit on Hired’s unique (and healthy) relationship with Dom Perignon.
Like any business so reliant on people, recruiting is difficult at scale. Shortcuts like mass emailing hundreds of candidates rarely works for the hardest to fill roles and can wind up hurting more than it helps.
The challenge is that each and every role you recruit for requires a specific, unique set of skills, experience and personality traits. Finding candidates that tick each of those boxes takes strategy. Every step of the recruiting funnel ought to be a highly thoughtful, impactful experience for a candidate. A one size fit all solution just won’t cut it.
It’s imperative for recruiters to maximize the value of each candidate touch point, not just to ensure that they have a positive candidate experience, but also to guarantee that you’re able to make the best hires by finding out as much about them and their work habits as possible.
The concept of lifecycle marketing is a relatively old one, but it offers useful insights for recruiters looking to deliver outstanding candidate experiences, strengthen their employer brands, and help create stellar company cultures. Here’s how adapting concepts from lifecycle marketing can help you and your team recruit better.
As hiring needs evolve, how you master candidate engagement becomes your competitive edge. Part of that mission is having a strong employer brand. The other part is understanding what your team needs to build a sustainable, efficient recruiting and hiring strategy.
Growing an optimized talent acquisition team reaps long-term benefits for orgs – to start, improved recruiting, leadership, and financial performance. What does that mean for your team?
We spent time with Bersin by Deloitte* Analyst Robin Erickson, PhD to learn about the company’s recognized talent acquisition maturity model, her research findings on the current state of talent acquisition, and the impact of stronger relationships between recruiter and hiring managers.
Chicago welcomes back the 2016 HR Tech Conference and Expo for the first time in four years, and the talent industry’s biggest event kicks off with nothing short of action-packed workshops, presentations, and mingling in the nation’s third largest city.
The Windy City in October welcomes a series of attractions like good eats, warm weather, live music, and a ton of merrymaking, including those of the brew-related sort. (It is Oktober after all.)
No matter the alley you choose to run up, Chicago offers a mix of events for everyone. Whether you’re in search of a place to connect with a colleague, to get lost in email, or to catch up on local culture, we’ve built this mini travel guide to keep you busy long after the conference doors close.
Candidate experience is more than just a quick email response time and parking validation. It also means conducting a well-rounded assessment during a candidate’s onsite interview.
Not only does this let you accurately evaluate talent at a high level, but it shows the candidate you were thoughtful about the interview process. It also saves them from the fatigue of answering the same questions over and over, and your hiring team from looking ill-prepared.
In just a few short weeks, SourceCon Fall 2016 kicks off in beautiful Anaheim, California. SourceCon is the year’s single biggest event dedicated to sourcing and, if you haven’t registered yet, you still can.
Regardless of the opportunity to learn and mingle with some of the best people in talent acquisition, there are few better places than Anaheim to spend time in late September. A city known for its many attractions, Anaheim is blessed with near perfect weather, numerous award-winning restaurants and enough activities to keep you entertained.
Still, with so much possibility, it can be a challenge to figure out what’s up your alley - whether you’re looking for spots nearby to zone in and catch up on emails, to meet with a colleague in town, or to make the most of your free time. We’ll give you some tips to make sure you get the most out of your time in Anaheim.
Hiring for any role can be a challenge, but sales hires can be the most complex. A great salesperson is personable, relentless, and positive. They are also a quick thinker who can read a room in just a few seconds and explain complicated topics quickly and persuasively. They know the art of the soft sell, how to perform the discovery process when a lead is totally disinterested, and when to know if someone is blowing you off or just playing hard to get.
Director of Global Recruiting at Twitch, Arthur Yamamoto, joined Hiring On All Cylinders to chat with the team about hiring at the world’s leading streaming service for gamers. The team reminisces about why “not a culture fit” is the most frustrating interview feedback a recruiter can get, how reducing bias during interviews is crucial for building strong teams, and Arthur’s first appearance at an Entelo recruiting metrics panel back in the day.
If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in this role, please let me know.
Hopefully, you’ve never committed this cardinal sin of candidate outreach. At best, it’s a sign-off that will go ignored. At worst it’s a short sighted, ham-fisted request for a person you’ve never spoken to do work on your behalf. Either way, you’re not doing yourself any favors.
But at the same time, referrals often make up for around 50% of candidate pipelines. While typically these referred candidates come from current employees, no recruiter is going to say no to a warm intro. Here’s the truth: great professionals know other great professionals, and a recommendation from them goes a lot further than a cold email, no matter how cheeky your subject line is. Thus, I implore you to think outside the box when it comes to where you’re sourcing referred candidates – specifically, your pool of rejected candidates.
