Past event: Automotive Talent Acquisition & Management 2018 Conference

Automotive Talent Acquisition & Management 2018 Conference (ATAM18) will focus on challenges of acquisition and retention for automotive and mobility sector talent leaders in the current competitive climate.

With the increasingly urgent talent shortage the automotive and mobility communities are facing, this conference offers the opportunity to network and participate in discussions with other talent professionals about new human capital strategies and technologies.


Some of the topics we will discuss:    

  • Struggling to attract the very best talent
  • Meeting critical challenges of sourcing  talent for current and future skill gaps
  • Overcoming an enormous shift in desired skill sets for autonomous vehicles      
  • Increasing retention rates by evaluating work place culture
  • Developing strategies to overcome challenges faced by an aging workforce

The conference will host an exceptional speaker faculty made up of senior talent acquisition and management community, who will share their thoughts on these discussion points. This includes solution providers who have developed web platforms for assessment and data analytics for new and existing talent, software for talent management, and specialized consultants.

Additionally there will be opportunities to attend the ATAM18 Graduate Meet & Greet, and to participate in accredited presentations for professional certification.
