Resilience in a World of Constant Change

Today, we increasingly need to build personal resilience strategies to thrive in a rapid world of change. The impacts of the pandemic, economics, and geopolitics on executive mobility means that sourcing and engaging with high-calibre talent has never been more challenging. In a Hybrid world the need for continuous adaptation of multiple communication channels and different work styles of colleagues, candidates, and clients is challenging. Looking after yourself and working to your optimum is key to success. This practical session will look at the importance of prioritisation and time management in building personal resilience in a time of change.

Social Media and Web Research

An important part of identifying a pool of strong candidates that align with your search criteria and meet your clients’ high expectations involves vetting these candidates through an online review of their web and social media presence. This may seem straight forward, but how, when and who conducts this review determines what you may find, how you review it and what you can legally share with your clients. Morgan Taylor from Mintz Group, a due diligence and corporate investigations firm, will share key insights and notable risks related to the social media and online research process.
