One of the top recruiting conferences for leaders in Talent Acquisition is underway and day 1 was filled with great content.

Here are the top 25 conference takeaways, twitter style:

We can not underestimate the commitment that we are asking candidates make by joining our team. @JHopp12
Top 2 recruiting metrics that aren’t measured: 1) Diversity and 2) hiring against demand plans. @SmartRecruiters
31% of TA leaders don’t measure hiring vs. demand plans. Not tracking the business need? How can you measure your success. @RLoRecruiter
Analytics that are not being tracked. Quality is so important but nearly 1/2 don’t measure it. @JHopp12
Recruiting is the easiest job in the world. Until you get people involved. @artiefeinstein
Question to ponder: Do you continually evangelize and educate your team? @AngelaDeClaro
Facts = Data, Data = Credibility, Credibility = Trust and Trust = Partnership. @trevorpvas
81% of the time, the ATS rejects candidates from companies. @jjbuss
Do you agree with the business on what the problem IS? Half the time it’s a business problem, not a recruiting problem. @huttm
False assumptions! Does the best student go to the best University? Targeting Universities self selects! @emilydryzgami
Time to fill: 79 to 24 days? Hiring Manager SLAs. @mlackaye
How effective are we at capturing powerful stories of our customers and employees to grab the attention of top talent? @AngelaDeClaro

Tell powerful stories to answer “Why should I join your team?” @mollyw323
TA is spending an average of 45% of their time on attrition-limiting abilities to grow. @JHopp12
Average time to fill a job is 50 days. @AngelaDeClaro
Why do HR pros put up with those ATS systems? @ChaimShapiro
TA leaders have a higher opinion than managers think about their recruiters as talent advisors. How are you training your recruiters?
Top inhibitors to meeting Talent Acquisition objectives: 1) Workforce Planning 2) Too much time on backfills 3) Business leadership. @JenniferMcClure
Avg recruiter fills 100 positions a year. @DearKat
Recruiters biggest frustration – hiring manager openness to non-traditional candidates. @huttm
#1 reason recruiters are inhibited to be successful: Lack of hiring manager accountability to make the hire, Feels like finger pointing to me. @RLoRecruiter
I dream of persona recruitment with no job ads but we still have managers who want cover letters. @DearKat
Story telling is true employment brand work, sadly it is a skill few in HR have @masterburnett
Speed and quality are 2 top issues keeping recruiters up at night. @amellerbrock
