Join us for a session that will dive into the critical role of strategic talent hand-offs in the world of M&A. Led by Kim Dymond Balogh and accompanied by Dr. Susan Hanold, you will gain valuable insights on the best practices for engaging talent acquisition during the integration process.
The agenda focuses on elevating Talent Acquisition through effective communication and strategic onboarding.

Subsequently, live introductions to the Talent Support Team offer insights into the organizational structure and the roles of dynamic individuals within the Talent Department. The third point emphasizes evaluating hiring practices for optimization, scrutinizing sourcing, screening, interviews, and software applications. The agenda concludes with a thorough review of the structured process, including a demonstration of the current workflow and the provision of a detailed step-by-step guide for team reference.
