Workshops and webinars transforming recruiters into strategic hiring partners

Positioning talent acquisition to save time, money and hassle for all

The 2020s have been tough for recruiters. Fired, rehired, fired, and under rehired. Many in talent acquisition are burning out or have lost faith in company leaders. Fear of job loss is leading to people pleasing, which conversely reduces job security.

Under pressure from boards and shareholders, the C-suite needs to cut costs, outcompete with technology and implement Gen AI. Hiring is in its crosshairs, rightly or wrongly.

We know that recruitment cannot be fully automated or replaced with AI, but that doesn’t mean companies won’t try.

I will show you how to become strategic and show your value, reducing this pressure and lost time. It’s easier than you think!

What’s covered in the workshop or webinar?

That depends on the needs of your talent acquisition team. I have delivered sessions covering all aspects of hiring from conception to preboarding, from kick-off to offer acceptance or rejection, and everything in between. Including candidate experience and negotiation, and managing hiring managers. Always specific to the team; always relevant.

Let’s have a short call to discuss your needs and if I am not right, I may know someone who is so you have nothing to lose. 

Katrina delivered an amazing, inspiring full-day workshop for my team at OLX Group. She kept a group of 40 recruiters and recruitment coordinators from all over the world engaged and fully focused for the entire duration of the session, and helped us build specific action plans to improve how we work with stakeholders, our communication and candidate experience. Katrina’s energy and wit are unparalleled. I never thought organising a workshop could be that entertaining! She is a real pleasure to work with, spreading energy and enthusiasm, while providing support and reflection when needed. It was a real pleasure and I’d be happy to work with her again!Workshops Katrina Collier

In November 2023, Katrina conducted a series of two online workshops on Candidate Experience for PwC CEE. With energy that kept the audience engaged throughout, she shared both inspiration and practical tips—small elements that can make a significant difference in enhancing the candidate experience. Katrina’s expertise and dynamic presentation style made these sessions highly valuable for all 100+ attendees. PWC

What makes these workshops different?

Besides the energy I bring to them, which is evident in all the reviews and many images on this page, I create workshops with the principles of design-thinking. Which has been stolen borrowed from the world of product design.

Design thinking is a process for creative problem solving, and it has a human-centered core. If you know anything about me or have read The Robot-Proof Recruiter, you will know that I am a champion of human first (or candidate centric) recruitment. Beacsue it delivers the best results both now and in the future.

 

 

What's the ROI? 💰

Without knowing your exact recruitment challenges, it is hard to calculate.

But a few ways possibilities could be…  (deliberately being pessimistic about the results you’ll achieve!)

  • What is the cost to the business each day a role remains open? Your hiring manager should know this figure for their role. How much would the business save if your team reduced the time-to-hire by just one day for every role?
  • What is the current cost of poor hiring manager partnerships? Divide up the recruiter’s salary to get their hourly. Then times that figure by the hours wasted to-ing and fro-ing, while they reject candidate after candidate, cancel interviews last minute, and generally do all of those things that irk us delay successful hiring. What if we reduced the time wasted by a measly 10%?
  • Then there’s the cost of candidate ghosting, reliance on agencies, poor employer branding, [insert what popped up]… and these can all be reduced.
Do you offer discounts for charities and NHS?

I sure do! Book a call, and let’s chat about budgets and hopes.
