About this event
Talent acquisition spends a ton of time, and even more money, on optimizing the front of their hiring funnel. From dedicated sourcing teams to job advertising to employer branding content and collateral, employers spend billions of dollars every year to ensure that top talent continues to flow through their proverbial pipelines and into open reqs.
The problem with pipelines, though, is they tend to leak quickly; talent pools evaporate even faster, requiring constant replenishment. Most employers are driving an unprecedented volume of applications through these front of funnel investments; however, few (if any) of those applicants are truly interested in their brand, or even qualified.
Meanwhile, the handful of candidates who actually match the job requirements have a strange habit of quietly disappearing sometime between when they hit the apply button and the first real recruiting touch point. They bounce, ghost or give up entirely.
This represents more than a pipeline leak; it represents the systemic failure of inefficient, and ineffective, hiring processes. The result is a familiar story: thousands of applications, a handful of interviews, and hiring managers wondering why “there are no good candidates.”
Dalia's research puts a number on what most TA leaders already feel in their gut: the majority of interested candidates drop out before they ever connect or start an application. Not because they don’t want to. Because the process was too hard, and they have options.
SquarePeg's data shows the rest of the story: the candidates who do survive the process usually land inside organizations with no real infrastructure to qualify or advance them. So the pipeline fills. The pipeline drains. And the ask from the business is always the same: more budget, more sourcing, more volume.
This isn’t a strategy - it’s a symptom. The good news is, there’s a cure for this systemic sickness infecting so many talent teams today.
That’s why Dalia and SquarePeg are partnering up to present From Interest to Engage: How High-Performing TA Teams Convert Interest Into Hires.
We’ll be taking a deep dive into benchmark data and emerging best practices TA leaders and recruiting pros need to know about candidate conversion.
In this exclusive roundtable discussion, we’ll focus on where potential candidates drop out, why it keeps happening, and what real employers have really done differently to fix their funnels and drive meaningful hiring outcomes.
Your recruitment marketing budget is generating applicants. Your conversion rate is determining whether any of them become hires. Right now, for most TA organizations, the gap between those two things is where recruiting performance lives or dies.
This roundtable is about closing that gap. The data is real, the conversation is candid, and designed for practitioners who are accountable for hiring outcomes and tired of solutions that address the wrong problems.
Spots are limited. Reserve yours before they're gone.
Because your funnel isn’t going to fix itself.
