The 19th Annual HR Technology Conference concluded last week, and on this episode of the HR Happy Hour Show, HR Tech Program Chair Steve Boese, and H3 HR Advisors CEO, and Conference speaker Trish McFarlane review some of the memorable sessions of the Conference, talk about some of the key themes and trends from the event, and talk about some of the key takeaways for HR and business leaders.

Steve and Trish cover some of the Conference's highlights, including the first ever Women in HR Tech Summit, the first 'Discovering the Next Great HR Technology Company' competition, the All-Star CHRO panel led by moderator Soledad O'Brien, the 2nd Annual HR Tech Hackathon, (and Hacklab), and what is always an attendee favorite - the Ideas and Innovators 'Ignite' presentations.

Plus, we talk about some of the innovations from the Expo floor, the continued importance of 'core' HR technologies like Payroll and Benefits, and the fact that the show probably needs some new intro and outro music.

Guest: Gerry Crispin, CareerXroads

Here at Research on the Rocks, we love talking about data. Luckily, we aren’t the only ones. On this week’s episode, we are live from IBM’s HR Summit in Boston with Gerry Crispin, co-founder of CareerXRoads and The Talent Board. He is in the process of gathering data for the Talent Board’s annual Candidate Experience survey where his team is currently, receiving 10,000 survey responses a DAY. So, we were more than a little excited to have Gerry as our first guest on the show. Listen in as we discuss IBM’s value proposition, the strategies for collecting and analyzing data, and why the word “best” isn’t exactly the best.
