Time
to recharge, refocus, and renew.
The countdown has begun. The SHRM India HR Technology Conference in
Hyderabad has over a 1000 delegates registered to listen to over 70 speakers
and engage in a knowledge/breakout sessions.
Shweta has
already shared some of the exciting pointers for us to be keyed into. For me,
it is a great opportunity to discern between the 'noise' online, and engage a
few to get some the insights on what could keep us more relevant in the coming
days. (I believe there are at least 15 different personas of
"Conference-goers', though I have always found it most
beneficial tuning to Kavi for making
the most out of conferences!! )
As a person who has had the ringside
view of the changing landscape in Talent acquisition, I am keen to know of the
approaches/best practices in hiring and retention. And particularly what is
being done with respect the first basic step of hiring- Scoping. It is ironic
that most job descriptions are at best laundry lists, or even cut paste
jobs-hardly in sync with the life cycle of the company's growth-with very
little attempt to supplement, (if not complement) the in-house skills. Sourcing and Screening have already
seen a lot of changes, courtesy AI and ML,
and perhaps speed up the process-but one must realise the difference between
commodities and human beings !! Selection and Retention need a
personalised touch that can build on the analytics and predictive models -to
create a better impact.
What will be the new buzz words this
time? Which are the new stalls that will get most footfalls will be
interesting. Personally, I have been a little disappointed that the mortality
rates of most HR Tech startups has been high-over the past few years. Some of
them perhaps, solving the pain points that the promoters grappled with- weren't
game changing enough -while a lot of them have been gobbled up by bigger
players. I shall be glad to be corrected. ( Will be keen to follow Peoplestrong -they
have been growing bigger and bigger every conference!)
Should you be dropping by at the
event, please do give me a shout. It would be wonderful to catch up over a
cuppa coffee and compare notes.
Anyway, please do stay tuned by
following some of us, part of the Blogging Squad,
on twitter-you can be there will be a lot of bytes being shared on #SHRMTech18.
Let's meet up!!
