General Assembly’s Post

TAtech North America: Hey, Don’t Forget Us: Pay attention to your customers when doing deals! Shelia Gray, VP/TA at Generac Power Systems, will be delivering a featured presentation during the Investors & Analysts Summit at TAtech North America & The World Job Board Forum, which will be held at The International SPY Museum in Washington, D.C. on June 4-6. She’ll be making the case for keeping an often-overlooked stakeholder informed, when TA solution providers merge, acquire other companies, are acquired themselves or receive investments that could change their priorities and practices. That forgotten stakeholder is their customer – the employers and recruiters who are using their products and services. Her session is one example of the worldclass content you’ll tap into at the conference. Unlike what’s provided at conventional HR and Recruiting conferences, every single presentation is designed to help advance the bottom-line success of TA solution providers. And no less important, that content is paired with business-building connections. The conference app enables you to reach out to and set up meetings with the hundreds of job board and talent technology company CEOs, senior execs and rising stars who will be attending. Seating is limited at the SPY Museum, so register today to make sure you have a spot. https://lnkd.in/e2W-Ntpt

TAtech North America: RECex Talks Start Each Day Each day of TAtech North America & The World Job Board Forum begins with a continental breakfast and a unique feature: a RECex talk. Like their more famous sibling TEDx, these are short talks that explore big ideas. They’re designed to fire up our synapses even before the conference day begins, so everyone is primed and ready to get as much value as possible from the program. At our 2023 conferences, for example, two of the RECex talks were: • I fell and hit my head, I lost my memory, I built better technology, delivered by Jenny Neuharth (JCK), Founder & Chief Solutions Architect WhiteRock. • What do honeymoons & affairs have to do with talent technology, delivered by Wendy McDougall, Founder & CEO Firefish Software And RECex is just a small part of the thought leadership you’ll get at TAtech North America & The World Job Board Forum, coming up at The International SPY Museum in Washington, D.C. on June 4-6. In fact, the conference provides all-inclusive access to 3 distinct programs: • The World Job Board Forum • The Global Talent Technology Forum • The Investors & Analysts Summit Plus, the TAtech Deal Center runs concurrently, providing a uniquely effective venue for B2B discussions of partnerships, product integrations, potential investments and even mergers & acquisitions. At last year’s TAtech North America, for example, there were over 850 meetings scheduled in just a day-and-a-half. Seating is extremely limited at this year’s conference, so register right now to make sure you have a spot. https://lnkd.in/e2W-Ntpt

TAtech North America Thought Leadership: Being Customer Smart When Doing Deals TA solution providers invest hundreds even thousands of hours covering every angle and possible contingency when buying and selling companies. And yet, in many cases, they forget (or overlook) one of their most important stakeholders: their customers. Shelia Gray, VP/TA at Generac Power Systems, will explore that blind spot and offer some thoughts on how to address it during the Investors & Analysts Summit at TAtech North America & The World Job Board Forum. The conference will be held on June 4-6, 2024 at The International SPY Museum in Washington, D.C. In point of fact, both the process and the result of a provider’s merger or acquisition can have an impact on their customers. That might involve the introduction of new faces or priorities or just the injection of uncertainty into the relationship. Worse, such behaviors as springing a surprise on the customer or implementing changes without proper explanation can turn a good relationship into a bad one. So, whether you’re doing a deal now or might do one down the road, don’t miss this extraordinary session by one of the true thought leaders in talent acquisition.  There are only 2 weeks left to get in on the Early Bird Discounts for the conference, so act now. Register today at https://lnkd.in/dVhJqMtD

TAtech North America: A Distinction Based on Data What makes TAtech North America & The World Job Board Forum a unique business-building opportunity for job boards and talent technology companies? You’ll find the answer in the data: • First, attendees are very senior business people. For example, at TAtech North America last year (in Austin), there were more than 100 CEOs in attendance, representing TA solution providers ranging from global brands to early stage companies. • Second, our content deals with strategic issues, opportunities and challenges. For example, when Google and Facebook decided to compete in the talent acquisition space, they did their “coming out” presentations at TAtech conferences. • And third, we believe that B2B networking is as important as content, so we created the TAtech Deal Center to facilitate it. For example, at TAtech North America last year, there were over 850 Deal Center meetings during the day-and-a-half conference. So, if you want to: • network with other business leaders • get insights that will advance your bottom line • hold discussions that can expand your operations Then, TAtech North America & The World Job Board Forum is one conference you do not want to miss. It will be held at The International SPY Museum in Washington, D.C. on June 4-6. Register right now to make sure you have a seat. https://lnkd.in/e2W-Ntpt

TAtech North America: Regional Market, Global Participation As its name indicates, TAtech North America & The World Job Board Forum focuses on the business opportunities in the North American market and attracts attendees from Africa, Europe and the UK, Australia, India and New Zealand, as well as Canada and the U.S. It is, in fact, a global event that brings together CEOs, senior execs and rising stars from job boards and talent technology companies worldwide. The content is organized into 3 programs: • The World Job Board Forum • The Global Talent Technology Forum • The Investors & Analysts Summit And the networking is facilitated by the scheduling capabilities of the conference app (released 5 days prior to the conference) and the TAtech Deal Center, a venue specifically designed for B2B discussions. Plus, this is not one of those events where you sit and get talked at for days-on-end. Instead, every single session is previewed with a poll of the audience on a related topic. So, everyone has a chance to share their views. But, there is a rub. The conference is being held at The International SPY Museum in Washington, D.C. on June 4-6. Seating at this venue is extremely limited and tickets are going fast. So, make sure you get a spot by registering right now. https://lnkd.in/e2W-Ntpt

The TAtech Deal Center: Unique Value at TAtech Europe The TAtech Deal Center is a feature of TAtech Europe & The EMEA Job Board Forum, coming up in London on December 4-6. It is unique in two respects: • First, companies actually use it – for example, over 850 meetings were scheduled in the Center during TAtech North America this May. • And second, it actually works – companies have used their meetings to establish business-building partnerships and market expanding joint ventures in both the EMEA and North American markets. How does it work? The Deal Center is a stand-alone room at the conference that is specifically configured for B2B meetings. It provides reserved and open tables suitably arranged for private, meaningful discussions. Five days before the conference, every attendee gets their own personal link to an online meeting scheduler. This app enables them to see who else is coming to the conference and to request a meeting with important contacts even before the event begins. Then, during the conference, attendees use the scheduler to optimize their time by identifying additional contacts and continuing to set up meetings. Instead of hit-or-miss conversations, they’re able to connect with the right people in a productive business setting.

TAtech North America: The Investors & Analysts Summit You can’t manage the resources you don’t have. That reality has made TA solutions a Board-level topic and a c-suite concern. And that priority, in turn, has made TA solutions an increasingly important focus for both industry analysts and angel, private equity and even venture investors. The key issue for job board and talent technology company CEOs and execs is how best to engage these two groups. It means finding the answers to such questions as: • What’s the best market position for your company today and going forward? • How can you best express your company’s differentiating value proposition? • What are your external investment options and how do you pick the best one? • And how should you prepare to achieve the best option, once you’ve picked it? Those and a lot more are the answers you’ll get at the Investors & Analysts Summit during TAtech North America & The World Job Board Forum. The conference will be held at The International SPY Museum in Washington, D.C. on June 4-6. Seating is very limited at this iconic venue, so register today to make sure you have a spot. https://lnkd.in/e2W-Ntpt
