The Psychology of a Yes: What Candidates Want Sponsored by Indeed
Hiring is harder than ever, and candidates aren’t just saying yes to the highest bidder. They're saying yes to speed, clarity, flexibility, and trust. In this session, Indeed unpacks what really drives today’s job seekers and the red flags that make them walk away. Backed by fresh research and recruiter-ready insights, we’ll break down the biggest hiring friction points, the mindset shifts needed to win talent faster, and the small tweaks that make a big impact.
Stick around after the keynote for a live Q&A with recruitment leaders as we unpack what this means in practice - from ghosting to growth, and everything in between.
