Opening Keynote

Elevating RecOps: Strategic Impact & Future Evolution

In this fast-paced Lightning Talk session, Samara will kick things off by exploring the executive-level impact and value of Recruiting Operations—highlighting how RecOps drives alignment, efficiency, and strategic influence across the talent function. Steph will follow with a forward-looking perspective on how to structure RecOps teams for scale and evolve their impact over time. The session wraps with a 25-minute Q&A and interactive activity designed to help you apply the insights in real time and connect with peers. This is a must-attend for RecOps leaders, talent professionals, and anyone looking to amplify the strategic power of their recruiting operations.

" Product-Led Framework for a RecOps Transformation"

In a time when recruiting operations teams are asked to deliver more value with fewer resources, traditional playbooks fall short. This workshop will introduce a bold reframe: a product-led mindset that reimagines recruiting as a dynamic product—with real users, evolving needs, and outcomes that drive strategy. Join leaders from Roblox as they share practical case studies and insights on transforming RecOps into a proactive, innovative function. From immersive candidate experiences and recruiter automation to streamlined hiring manager workflows and standardized interviews, you’ll be equipped with actionable strategies to build scalable, user-centric systems. No matter where your team is at with this transformation journey, are you ready for the next era of RecOps?
