Webinar
How Accenture Used Virtual Recruiting Events to Attract & Engage Diverse Talent
February 16th 2021 | 16:00 GMT | 45 mins
As we move into 2021, it’s clear that leveraging the power of virtual candidate events will be a must for any forward-thinking employer that wants to attract and engage early careers talent.
According to new research, Gen Z candidates said “hiring events” were the most valuable resource to learn more about career opportunities, job roles and application enquiries. For employers, then, the challenge remains as to how you can activate a candidate events strategy in a virtual world.
Join Meet & Engage’s very own Jo Brickell and Accenture’s Joan Moore and Sam Turnpenny as we discuss how Accenture designed and implemented a virtual events strategy to attract diverse talent.
Join us on 16th February at 4.00pm GMT (11.00am EST)
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- Launch of Accenture Live – a series of live virtual events targeted at early careers audiences
- How to run virtual events sessions that provide practical hints, interview tips and answer burning questions
- The creation of D&I focused sessions hosted by Accenture ERGs
- Why you should engage with talent virtually to create a sense of community and belonging
In addition, we’ll take a more holistic look at the future of recruiting technology and discuss how employers can solve real-life hiring and engagement challenges in 2021 and beyond.
