Webinar Details

Recruitment and retention are often talked about as one journey, yet many organizations still experience them as separate motions. Those early handoffs shape how new hires settle in and whether they stay.

This panel is a practical, candid conversation about what happens between the first candidate interaction and the decision to stay.

We’ll explore where things tend to flow well, where they get bumpy, and what leaders can do to create a more connected experience from day one.

Hosted by Kristin Condon, Chief Talent Officer and Partner at Sales Talent Agency, and joined by leaders across talent, leadership development, employee experience, change, and digital workplace strategy.

WHAT WE’LL COVER: 

• Where recruitment and retention commonly disconnect, and the early signals leaders should pay attention to.

• What candidates want to understand before accepting an offer, and why it matters when that clarity comes too late.

• When the employee experience truly begins, and where organizations often miss key early moments.

• Why people leave in the first 6–12 months, and how to pinpoint whether the root cause is hiring, onboarding, management, or expectations.

• What onboarding that supports retention actually looks like.

• Where employee experience meaningfully supports retention, and where effort doesn’t translate to impact.

• How responsibility for retention shifts between HR, managers, and leaders as organizations evolve.

WHO THIS SESSION IS FOR: Internal Comms, Employee Experience, People & Culture, HR, Talent, Change leaders, and senior leaders focused on growth and retention.

If you’re looking to reduce early attrition, better connect hiring decisions to long-term engagement, or sense-check whether your employee experience is doing the work you expect it to, this session will offer grounded insights and ideas you can put into practice.
