Data-Driven Recruiting: Turning Metrics into Career Momentum
Strong reporting is more than dashboards and numbers—it’s the foundation of how Talent Acquisition leaders demonstrate impact and drive business strategy. But too often, recruiters lack the right data, leaving leadership with more questions than answers.
In this panel, we’ll explore:
The building blocks of effective reporting and where to start
The pitfalls of poor or missing data (and how to avoid them)
What executives truly care about when it comes to talent metrics
How TA professionals can use reporting to elevate their influence and career trajectory
Join us for an engaging conversation with:
Tom Hacquoil, CEO at Pinpoint
Samantha Bussard, Chief Talent Officer at Compass
Katie Lai, Director Talent Acquisition at Pie Insurance
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your metrics toolkit, communicate your impact more effectively, or position yourself as a trusted partner to leadership, this session will give you actionable insights to move from reporting to real momentum.
Bios:
Tom Hacquoil (Pinpoint): CEO Tom Hacquoil was leading a coding cohort with just 16 spots, and received hundreds of applications. He needed a fast, flexible tool that would make it easier to identify the right candidates and give them a great experience. But the applicant tracking systems available were either too clunky or too basic, which would make the selection process even more difficult. Out of this experience came the idea for Pinpoint. Hacquoil, along with co-founders Bill Rogers (CTO) and Tom Luce (Technical Fellow), set out to build a better ATS that would help companies improve their hiring processes.
Samantha Bussard (Compass Business Solutions): Organizations eager to outpace the competition turn to Sam, a high-output dynamo who insists on people strategy excellence. With unparalleled energy and determination, she maximizes the efforts of all teams and functions, routinely analyzing data and past trends to influence future operational efficiencies. Sam is passionate about coaching and mentoring professionals at all stages of their careers to unlock their complete potential and confidence. Her background in the management consultant industry and specialty in talent strategy enables her solutionist mindset, seeing no problem as unresolvable. She loves to learn to expand the limits of her knowledge and encourages her clients to be willing to do the same.
Katie Lai (3rd Partner): Katie is scaling hiring at Pie Insurance with a focus on efficiency, quality, and exceptional candidate experience. With a diverse background including Waymo, Amazon, and Korn/Ferry, she brings both in-house and advisory expertise to the talent acquisition space.
