We recently attended a Snowflake presentation at the Four Seasons in Montreal. Besides enjoying a delicious breakfast spread, we also found the event very helpful and insightful. (Not to mention a welcome return to in-person conferences after years of Zoom sessions!)

But why is it so important to attend industry events like this? As leaders in the IT talent environment, it’s vital we stay “in the know” and keep abreast of new and emerging technologies. It’s how we stay relevant. What’s more, it means we can continue to have meaningful conversations with our IT resources and clients alike. Since data is a critical area for our talent pools, this event – all about cloud-based data solutions and platforms – was unmissable.

We find that attending industry events also allows us to better serve businesses like yours. How? Here are just a few ways:

• Better understanding of job requirements. By staying informed about tech trends, our IT Talent Business Partners (TBPs) can better understand the requirements of the positions they’re sourcing talent for. This helps them identify candidates with the right skills and experience, and ensures that they can attract the best talent for the job.

• More effective candidate screening. Staying up-to-date with technology trends means our TBPs can also improve their screening process for candidates. This allows them to identify candidates with the right technical skills, and also helps identify candidates who are familiar with the latest tools and technologies.

• Enhanced candidate engagement. Candidates are more likely to engage with TBPs who are knowledgeable themselves about the latest technologies and trends. By staying informed about cloud-based data platforms and other emerging technologies, TBPs can engage with candidates more effectively, and build stronger relationships based on relevant topics.

• Alignment with your business needs. Cloud-based data platforms are becoming increasingly popular among businesses. And because our TBPs are familiar with the technology, they’re better able to align hiring strategies with the needs of your business. To put it another way, staying informed allows our TBPs to identify candidates who can help your organization leverage new technologies and drive business success.

• Networking, networking, networking. Who attends these conferences? People who work in our industry – many of them passive candidates with other likely degrees of connections. We stay in touch with professionals in our niche markets in order to learn from their experiences, share our own insights, and collaborate on new ideas and projects.

Here at Expertis Solutions, staying informed is what we do. Which is why we also attended the recent AI World Summit in Montreal – AI being another key area for our talent pools. It’s this commitment to staying connected that allows us to identify, engage, and hire the right candidates for your organization.
