HOW TO HIRE A CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER (CPO)
It's the most senior role in the People department, one that many a recruiter eventually aspires to, but I suspect not many of us have had to try and recruit for one! We're going to dive into the world of C-level hiring, but with a twist, for the C-suite exec leading our own department!
- What are the circumstances where this role emerges?
- How do we capture the requirement?
- From whom do we collect it from?
- Who is the hiring manager - CEO, committee of senior managers, the Board, the Chair?
- How to go about the search
- How to determine what is a qualified candidate?
- How do you deal with candidates who think they know than you do (and probably do!)
- What is the best method of approach?
- What is the best method of assessment?
- What red flags should you be aware of?
- How do you scorecard this?
All this and more - one of the most intriguing recruitment assignments you'll ever have. We're with Annie Jackson, Head of Talent Acquisition (Cleo), Simon Mullins, MD (ESIX), Lisa Scales, Talent Acquisition Director (Royal Mail), Jennifer Candee, Global TA Leader & Gaetan van Reusel, MD (Camario). We're on Friday 2nd August, 2pm BST
