A conclusion for lively mouth corners and laughing eyes. Enjoy the lines.

Each day of the conference focused on a specific theme.

19th September: Employer Branding (ended)

09:45 - 10:25: How to get started with employer branding (Lena Feldkamp, Takko Fashion)

In 30 minutes, Lena explains to us in a very practical way how, in her current role as Head of Employer Branding at Takko Fashion, she is setting up the area "from scratch" and how this can be implemented even with a low investment of resources - from analysis to corporate culture to the development of the employer brand.

10:25 - 11:05: Employer branding - from analysis and implementation to the creation of an employer brand (Helena Schneider, Theo Müller Gruppe)

Employer branding is a strategic corporate measure to position a company as an attractive employer. But to help you understand what it's all about, Helena gives you an initial overview of the individual steps involved in developing an authentic employer brand. From analysis and implementation to the final creation, including project examples, everything is included.

11:05 - 11:45: How the candidate experience can deliver on the promises of the employer brand (Dimitri Knysch, Cammio)

This session is about hacks on how you can adapt the candidate experience to modern brand communication. The focus is on video communication. You can expect an example from Heineken, a major brand that has run one of the greatest employer branding campaigns of all time. The actual candidate experience in the application process, on the other hand, is still in need of improvement.

11:45 - 12:30: Employer Branding: Mastering Collaboration and Communication Properly (Anneke Matsis, Frontify; Nina Müller, moodley & Malin Gereke, New Work SE)

As the saying goes: "The best ideas die in execution". To successfully implement an employer branding campaign, internal communication and collaboration are essential. In this session, Malin, Nina and Sibylle will show you how to make your creation process a success and how to ensure efficient collaboration between internal teams (especially HR and Marketing) and with agencies. How are assets created and how do you ensure that they are played out in a targeted manner by marketing teams and employees, and how does a well thought-out tech stack contribute to the success of employer branding campaigns?

20th September: Recruiting (ended)

It's not new hiring – it's good hiring: Get an overview of the current labour market and recruiting measures.

09:00 - 09:45: Overview of good recruiting recipes – the guest must like it, not the cook (Sarah Böning, Talent Centric)

09:45 - 10:25: Level-up your recruiting game and candidate experience with good aptitude diagnostics (Bastian Stolz, Lechwerke & Jessica Lingenfelder, HTGF)

10:25 - 11:05: Recruiting is actually sales - what HR professionals can learn from e-commerce (Lars Wolfram, Talentsconnect)

In the current job market, there is a rethink in the recruiting process and in understanding what makes suitable candidates - and here we can benefit from insights from e-commerce. After all, it's not about generating a lot of prospects for a job, but about turning suitable prospects into applicants.

11:05 - 11:45: Blue vs. white collar recruiting - three tips on what really matters (Björn Boldt, ENERTRAG)

True to the motto "never assume - no matter in which process step of recruiting", Björn tells you something about the importance of using and leveraging data in his speaking. We all have data in recruiting, we just need to know how to use it profitably. In addition, you will get an insight into the differences, but also the many similarities of Blue vs. White Collar Recruiting and how important it is as a recruiter to know the USP of your company.

11:45 - 12:30: Active Sourcing: attract, inspire & network - 5 practical tips (Jan Hawliczek, Die Grüne 3)

Active sourcing is about actively finding and approaching potential candidates. However, the supreme discipline of the entire process is to convince the candidates of your company.

Together, we look at the candidate experience and try to optimize the processes before hiring. But one of the most dangerous stumbling blocks of recruitment is inside the company: the employees. With an intelligent data-based 360 view, many challenges can be identified and overcome.

09:45 - 10:25: How others approach retention & you take it up a notch (Jule Bock, heyflow)

People Management has had many challenges for several years: Employer branding, recruiting, onboarding, development – and then termination. You can approach your research like everyone else or join Jule's speaking and get a new perspective on Employee Retention.

10:25 - 11:05: Data driven Retention - Employee Wellbeing muss kein Mysterium sein (Sandra Strauss, Urban Sports Club)
