Speed is a cornerstone of hiring: an optimized application process lets you hire faster and create a great candidate experience. Sadly, it’s a process to which many employers unintentionally add friction, extra steps, and barriers. From getting applicants to register, to making them type out information that’s already on their resume, companies are making it harder for candidates to apply—and losing out on great talent before they’ve even had a chance to meet. Join this foundational session to explore how designing a better applicant experience today, through simple changes, can help you turn engaged candidates into new hires.

For more than 500 years, human beings have used resumes to assess the potential of individuals. While it may be tempting to think that the reason we still use them is because they’re a good indicator of future performance, the truth is that we just haven’t found anything better. Yet the reliance on resumes, combined with technology, is a catastrophic combination. Algorithms that scan for keywords, metrics, and skills effectively exclude more than 80% of potential job candidates. What if, instead of relying on an exclusionary demand-side search for skills and themes, we were to use an inclusive, supply-side approach, allowing people to demonstrate their potential? Through data science, performance coaching, and some empathy, we can change the way the world works.
