1. BELONG EXECUTIVE BRIEFING
MUMBAI EDITION
03.11.2017, Sofitel, BKC, Mumbai

2. For our most recent Belong Executive Briefing, we set up our Round Table
discussion at the Sofitel, BKC in Mumbai.

3. The invite-only event included some of the country's most forward-thinking
Talent Leaders across industries including Media and Product to discuss the
state of the Talent Market in India today, and how to prepare for the future.

4. How should Talent Acquisition teams go beyond mainstream solutions?

5. "We use Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning to assess candidates.
At Seclore, we use a bot which has automated our
entire process of reaching out to candidates. What
this has resulted in is that we are always ready
whenever new requirements do come in from
Business."
Sandeep Chakraborty
Global Lead,Talent Acquisition and Employer Branding, Seclore

6. "In terms of Technology, we (as Leaders) are
always looking to evaluate tools which can tell us
what is important for a candidate and what excites
him/her the most."
Rakhee Deshpande
Director - Talent Acquisition, Xoriant

7. "With increasing competition, Talent Acquisition
teams need to differentiate themselves as a
Brand.
At JCI, we have been constantly helping
our recruiters with real time data & analytics.
This helps them differentiate themselves from
other recruiters that are reaching out to the
same candidates."
Pramod Shinde
CAE Analyst - Johnson Control India

8. "Talent Acquisition teams need to know what to
fundamentally look at while evaluating a tool or
solution.
Since there is no proven legacy; teams are
concerned."
Priya Pandit
Head HR Business Partner & Leadership Hiring, Protiviti

9. How to enable alignment of HR and Business as strategic partners

10. "Understanding business is key. Keeping
abreast on industry trends and then offering
key insights about talent reality and co-
creating strategy is the best way to align and
partner with business."
Aalok Purohit
Director - HR, Zycus

11. "Re-skilling recruiters and helping them align
with key Marketing & Sales skills helps.
Recruiters now understand the brand, culture and
values better, thereby aligning with Business and
pitching correctly to candidates. Of course,
Business leaders are more than happy to
facilitate this."
Priyanka Jhaveri
Talent Acquisition Lead - Endurance

12. What capabilities should TA be investing in today, to be future-ready?

13. "At Xoriant, up-skilling Talent Acquisition
means they need to fundamentally understand
Business metrics better and align to the same goals
as them.
This is key not only to enable alignment but also to
improve our credibility with Business"
Rakhi Deshpande
Director - Talent Acquisition, Xoriant

14. "At Viacom18, we have hired Rohit Bhatnagar as
Sr. Executive of Corporate Communications, and
he comes with deep Content Marketing expertise.
Rohit's rich experience helps us communicate our
brand, culture and value proposition much more
effectively with candidates."
Talent Acquisition Leader - Viacom18
Binoy Varghese
