After our exciting morning speakers and breakout conversations, keep the energy flowing and continue networking and visiting with our sponsors during our lunch break.

Welcome to the afternoon panel where the conversation will revolve around hiring manager accountability in creating great candidate experiences. TA is not an island and we aren’t the only ones responsible for how a candidate perceives the business, team, and role. This panel will take the idea of “TA is not just an order taker, TA is a strategic partner” to the next level.

The Success Trap: Growing your career, having it all, and other things we were told along the way.
