Social Networking Strategies for Today’s Local Employment Marketers

The recession is coming to an end, companies are getting back on track and hopefully unemployment has started its downward trend. It wasn't too long ago when recruiters were fighting one another for the market's best candidates and that time will come again, sooner than we know it. What does the marketplace have in store for your company's employment marketing - and what is your organization doing to prepare itself to take advantage of today's technologies, innovations and strategies and put them to work for you.

Join us, as we explore the state of today's employment marketplace and how social networking has become a critical component in today's employment marketing strategies.

Learn:

  • Why you need to be participating in social networking and why you shouldn't avoid it
  • How social networking will assist you in managing your employment brand
  • How building talent networks will enhance the bottom line for recruiting
  • Why your CEO will see value in a social networking strategy

You'll also have the opportunity to direct specific questions to each of the participating panelists.

Round the Table – Answering Your Social Networking Questions

Our round table session will enable every attendee to rotate through tables that will discuss set topics, enabling you to learn from the topical expert leader and from the other members of the group.

Keynote: Harnessing the True Power of Social Recruiting

Harnessing the true power of social recruiting is about nurturing active talent communities to enhance the relationship between candidates and your employment brand. When you succeed, you contribute directly to the success of the business strategy and differentiate the employment brand. Is your recruiting strategy designed to meet yesterday’s needs, or tomorrow’s? The social web is a pathway to building sustainable talent communities and another tipping point in the evolution of recruiting. It also increases your organization’s competitive positioning. By integrating social recruiting into your talent attraction strategy you can transform your entire approach to recruiting and deliver increased value to the organization and strengthen your personal equity. We’ll use our collective minds and develop a topline view of the interdependent elements critical to developing a leading-edge recruiting strategy positioned for a new decade. From there we’ll dive deeper to develop a community-centric strategy that supports a sustainable and adaptive talent model. You’ll learn about: —Leveraging interdependencies to align talent and business strategies through an adaptive model. —Identifying what it takes to attract talent to your community, engage them, and give them a reason to keep returning. —Processes and supporting technologies that can help you convert a community member to a hire. —Creating greater value for the organization and enhancing your personal equity through enhanced talent strategies.
