Speaking

DIRECT, DATA-BACKED,built for rooms that want more.

Desiree Goldey speaks to talent leaders, HR and talent tech teams, founders and leadership teams about the decisions underneath every hire. No motivational filler. A point of view, the data behind it, and something your audience can use on Monday.

Talks
01

Everyone has a comp philosophy. Almost nobody has a talent philosophy.

Companies can explain how they pay but not who they hire or why. The five questions that sit underneath every hire, and what changes when a company writes them down.

For: talent and HR leaders, founders, leadership teams

02

The demo went great. The deal died anyway.

How HR and talent leaders actually buy, who blocks the deal, and why buyers can't defend tools they like. Told from the buyer's side of the table.

For: HR tech and talent tech sales, marketing and product teams; sales kickoffs and customer events

03

AI can apply a standard. It can't choose one.

What AI screening does well, what it can't decide, and what the new AI hiring laws expect from the humans in the loop.

For: talent leaders, HR teams, talent tech companies

04

Leadership is a practice, not a personality.

From Desiree's book. Six stages (Notice, Reflect, Empathize, Include, Mentor, Lead) and how to practice them when nobody's watching.

For: leadership teams, new managers, ERGs and leadership programs

05

Inclusion by design, not by declaration.

Why equitable hiring is a process design problem, not a policy statement, and how to build it into every stage of a search.

For: talent and HR leaders, DEIB and people teams
