To empower leaders on this talent transformation journey, at People Matters TechHR India, we are joined by industry leaders who share their expertise, success stories and incredible insights to get us started. In a conversation led by Aparajeeta Sarmah, Director HR, MetLife Global Operations Support Center; Amaresh Singh, CHRO, GE South Asia; Puneet Khurana, Group Head - Human Resources at Policybazaar.com & Paisabazaar.com and Varun Sachdeva, Recruitment & Business Leader, APAC, NLB Services, tell us how to source high-impact talent for a high-impact business strategy. Here are some of the key takeaways:

• Technology is an accelerator
• Invest in a learning culture

Every step in the recruitment cycle should utilise technology as an accelerator and drive predictive results. Human intelligence must focus only on candidate engagement and experience. If organisations keep these in mind, winning the talent war will become much easier.
