Future-Proofing Talent Acquisition: Where to Catch Me at Transform 2025

Vegas, baby!

I’m heading out to Transform 2025 next week, and if you know me, you know I don’t just show up—I go all in. This year’s event is packed with conversations that matter, and I’m bringing The POZcast, The HR Morning Show, and my no-BS approach to some of the biggest talent acquisition discussions happening today.

My schedule is stacked, from leading a powerhouse panel on Future Proofing the Candidate Experience to interviewing top TA leaders in the Greenhouse booth and going live from the Podcast Zone (or should we rename it “thePOZcastZone?). If you’re attending Transform, here’s where you can find me, who I’ll be talking to, and what we’ll dig into.

The Big Stage: Future-Proofing Talent Acquisition

📍 When & Where: Wednesday, March 19 | 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM | Main Stage

🎤 Panelists:

• Cori Faro (VP, Talent Acquisition, Okta)
• Ariana Moon (VP, Talent Planning & Acquisition, Greenhouse Software)
• Adam Posner (Founder, The POZcast)

🔥 What’s the Conversation?
Let’s be real—candidate experience isn’t optional anymore. It’s not a side project. It’s a business imperative.

Every single touchpoint—whether it’s a job post, an interview, or onboarding—shapes how candidates view your company. That impression impacts who applies, who accepts offers, and who tells others about your company (for better or worse).

This panel is for TA leaders who want to take candidate experience from good to game-changing. We’ll be talking about:
✅ How to personalize hiring at scale without making it feel like an assembly line.
✅ Where AI and automation fit in—and where they don’t.
✅ Why transparency and fairness in hiring are non-negotiable in 2025.
✅ How employer branding impacts hiring and retention (spoiler: a lot).

If you’re serious about hiring top talent and keeping them engaged, you'll want to be in this room. And by room, we mean the main stage in the heart of the Expo Center!

Live from the Podcast Zone: HR Morning Show Special Edition

📍 Where: The Podcast Zone (EXP Hall)
📅 When: Tuesday, March 18 | 10:30 AM PST

☕ Who’s Joining?

• Me (obviously).
• The HR Morning Show crew! Joel Lalgee, Danielle Farage, Serge Boudreau & Friends!

🔥 What’s the discussion?

• The biggest hiring trends are straight from the Transform stage.
• What’s next for TA and HR tech? (Expect AI, skills-based hiring, and branding to take center stage.)
• Surprise guests (because, let’s be honest, the best stuff at conferences happens unscripted).

Why This Matters

I’m not just showing up at Transform to shake hands and take selfies (though, let’s be real, there will be plenty of that). I’m here to lead conversations that actually move the industry forward.

Talent acquisition is at a crossroads. The companies that win will be the ones that treat hiring like a long-term investment, not just a process. Candidate experience, employer branding, and strategic hiring—these aren’t buzzwords. They’re the difference between companies that thrive and companies that can’t fill roles.

So let’s talk about it. Let’s challenge each other. And let’s make hiring better.
