HR and hiring managers today are inundated with resumes and interview pitches from candidates, and sometimes it can feel like you’ll need psychic qualities to break through all of the grandstanding, over-rehearsing, or even dare we say, faking. But when you find your needle in a haystack, the impact of your hire on the business, and those rising company stars – can also make you feel like a rock star!

In this session, Julie Labrie, a 20-year recruitment veteran specializing in Bilingual/French recruitment – who was named by the World Staffing Awards as one of the world’s top 100 staffing leaders to watch in 2022 – will reveal, her top tips to find your perfect candidate fit.

What interview questions break through the clutter to reveal deep intel on candidates? What are the most common mistakes made in the hiring process that result in remorse for the ones that got away. When are you staring at 2,000 candidate profiles, what is the best way to find your needle in that haystack? Julie will cover all this and more in this not-to-be-missed session!
