This week on the HR Happy Hour Show while Trish was off keynoting an HR conference in Dubai (fun!), Steve attended Kronos Works 2015, the annual customer and user conference for Kronos, a leading provider of workforce management technologies.

Chances are pretty good that at some time in your career you have interacted with Kronos' workforce management technologies - as their solutions for time and attendance, workforce scheduling, absence management and more have been implemented by tens of thousands of organizations worldwide.

At Kronos Works, Steve sat down with Kronos' CMO, Jim Kizielewicz (who also has about 7 other big jobs at Kronos, you can listen for more details), about some of the most important topics affecting workforce management today. Kronos, since it touches thousands of organizations and millions of employees (most of them hourly workers), each day is in a unique position to help shape the dynamic and conversation around the workforce and the increasingly importance of scheduling to employee engagement and organizational performance. We also talked about the continued move to the cloud and how it benefits HR organizations and leaders.

HR Happy Hour #224 - iCIMS and Talent Acquisition Technology

Hosts: Steve Boese, Trish McFarlane

Guests: Madeline Laurano, Colin Day, Adam Feigenbaum

Recorded Wednesday November 4, 2015

LISTEN HERE

This week on the show, HR Happy Hour hosts Steve Boese and Trish McFarlane were at the recent iCIMS Analyst Day in San Diego, where they sat down with fellow analyst and official 'Friend of the HR Happy Hour' Madeline Laurano in Part 1 of the show, to talk about trends in HR and recruiting technology, and followed by a conversation with iCIMS CEO Colin Day, and COO Adam Feigenbaum about the state of the Applicant Tracking System, and the broader market for Talent Acquisition technology.

You can listen to the show on the show page HERE, or by using the widget player below, (Email and RSS subscribers will need to click through). 

iCIMS has developed a substantial list of customers for its talent acquisition technology suite, and has made a commitment to talent acquisition as its primary focus - sort of unique among large, established HR tech companies, many of which are or have been pushing to develop or acquire additional or adjacent capabilities.

iCIMS has made a big bet that customers will understand and value what a provider solely focused on Talent Acquisition can offer, and on the show you can hear direct from iCIMS execs on why they have elected to stick with their core competency and how that benefits their customers.

This was a really interesting and fun event. Thanks to iCIMS for having myself and Trish out at the event, and also thanks to Madeline, Colin, and Adam for taking the time to be a part of the HR Happy Hour Show.

This was a fun and really interesting conversation with one of the leaders helping to shape the modern workplace and in many ways the new paradigms that organizations will operate within as they strive to describe their unique company culture and their value proposition to the next generation of the workforce.
