SIOP will be sponsoring another leading edge consortium. This one is on the “Leading Edge of Selection and Assessment in a Global Setting.”
The SIOP sponsored consortium will be held in Denver, CO, at the Hyatt Regency Tech Center, October 16-17, 2009. Registration is $425 on or before the early registration deadline of August 28 and $495 thereafter. Consortium includes breaks, lunch on Friday and Saturday and receptions on Thursday and Friday evenings.
Highlights for this consortium include the opening address, “I-O and Clinical Assessment Methodologies: Leveraging the Power of Both at Cisco,” where SIOP Member and Cisco Systems, Inc. Director of Talent Planning & Executive Assessment Kristie Wright will discuss Cisco’s approach to using both I-O and clinical assessment methodologies, the lessons learned, and the benefits of a blended approach from the point of view of an I-O practitioner.
SIOP member and closing keynote speaker Todd Carlisle was the first of now a 25 member People Analytics team at Google. During his “Microtrends in Global Staffing: Finding Signals in Noisy Recruiting Data,” Carlisle will discuss what a dozen statisticians, armed with millions of data points, might predict about the future of staffing. Using data recently collected from Google’s global staffing efforts, several micro trends will be discussed including better candidate sourcing, how algorithms can help make hiring decisions, and what the long tail means to recruiters.
