Employer Coalition (POWER Series) - Understanding Early Talent: Expectations vs. Reality

Thursday, July 9, 2026 (1:00 PM - 2:30 PM) (CDT)

Description

This session, led by Joleen Hueftle, will be a presentation of real-world insight with plenty of time for discussion throughout for attendees to share experiences and collaborative ideas for solutions. This session will walk through characteristics of candidates in the early-talent space, exploiting the disconnect between organizational expectations and candidate desires. Attendees will discuss candidate expectations, employer expectations, person-job fit, relocation, and tenure of the early-talent/early-career population. This session will dig into potential solutions for organizations to consider to effectively recruit and retain early talent. Joleen Hueftle and attendees will also discuss early talent programs, pipelining with a purpose, and how broken our interview processes are.
