State of Talent

This event explores strategies to help employers, job seekers and hiring professionals maximize our workforce, attract talent and leverage existing talent to attract the right kind of talent.

How do you attract, retain and upskill your workforce to remain competitive? The growing talent gap - it's one of the most pressing issues employers face today. This critical conversation was highlighted at Austin's annual State of Talent on August 18, 2017.
