Time to Fill: A recruitment disaster story (for some)
The 2016 Australasian Talent Conference was another high quality event from Trevor Vas, Kevin Wheeler and the ATC team. I took a lot away from the two days of listening to speakers, exploring exhibitor offerings and extending my network in the local talent community. I attended a very informative session by CEB Executive Advisor in HR Practice Aadil…

The RCSA International Conference 2014 was a resounding success.

Four days of conferencing is full-on. It’s not just the formal sessions, it’s the networking and socialising that barely gives you a moment to stop and think about and process what you have heard.

Read MoreSourcers are geeks, and other observations from the 2011 ATC Sourcevent

It was a fascinating day. Organisers Trevor Vas,Horace Chai and Kevin Wheeler should be very proud of a well-run and very valuable event. They brought over from…
Read MoreWhat I learned at the Australasian Talent Conference 2011
I have attended all 5 ATCs held in Sydney. They have all been very interesting in their own way and a valuable source of trends and case studies for my speaking, writing, training and coaching. I am still digesting everything I learned at the event, so before anything escapes my over-flowing brain, here’s a quick…
