Highlights from Supernova 2024
Previous Conferences
Our inaugural Supernova conference, in which global talent leaders joined us in Cork City to highlight the best ways to access undiscovered talent.
At Supernova 2023, our speakers outlined how the current talent acquisition model was broken, and how companies needed to harness the power of hidden talent to Do More with Less.
At Supernova 2024, we will bring together TA and HR leaders to discuss how to build the path to better hiring, covering everything from business alignment and candidate experience to employer brand.
