We’ve all smashed our faces into a keyboard following conversations with hiring teams that just don’t “get it.” They see a tug of war between our positions, vs. a collaboration, devaluing our advice and guidance.

In this session, we’ll delve into what it means to be a coach to our hiring teams, leveraging our focus, experience and knowledge of the talent function towards making better hires. We’ll run through scenarios and tools to help us practice and reframe our relationships with hiring partners, showing our value and setting up the stage for impactful collaboration. Expect to participate, practice, share stories and vent in community. And ultimately, come out a better coach, ready to guide hiring teams as the expert you are.
