NEW YORK, June 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With a wide array of the most influential thought leaders in talent recruiting and employer branding scheduled to speak, and hundreds of attendees from fast growth tech companies and established enterprises set to attend, the HR Uncubed conference returns to Brooklyn's Industry City on June 10th and 11th.
HR Uncubed is New York's leading annual conference for employer branding and modern recruitment strategies, and has been rapidly growing in scope and impact since Uncubed first launched the event in 2017.
The conference is expected to grow nearly 50% over last year, building on Uncubed's overall momentum after achieving profitability as a business in 2018, and recently completing the acquisition of Mediabistro, the leading jobs marketplace for content professionals and the media industry.
Each day of HR Uncubed 2019 will feature interactive workshops and presentations focused on employer brand, diversity & inclusion, the impacts of AI on recruiting, buillding an effective remote work culture, recruiting Gen Z, and more.
"Companies are increasing their spending on employer branding faster than any other area in talent," said Uncubed CEO Chris Johnson. "The difference in industry-wide focus on this now versus even two years ago is staggering."
With employer brand building strategies and tactics at the core of the conference, topics covered will include: leveraging video, mapping out a holistic employer brand build, allocating resources, turning your career page into your strongest employer branding channel, leveraging remote work and a learning-first culture into your employer brand, and more.
"Building an effective employer brand is a constant effort, spanning every part of a modern company," added Johnson. "Which is why the content at HR Uncubed is so comprehensive – everything a business does today gets cooked into your employer brand. The question is how intentionally you shape, manage, and develop it."
Featured speakers on the topic will include: Rafael Marcus, Head of Employer Branding at UIPath; Anne Hurley, Talent Branding Manager at NBCUniversal; Theresa Pauzer, Chief People Officer at 1010 Data; Jamie (Hooker) Sterratt, Director of Talent, SeatGeek, Anna Fenkel, Marketing Manager, Airbnb; Kristina Deighan, Global Manager, Talent Attraction, ZX Ventures.
