Revolutionary Resourcing
Recruiters and resourcing researchers from Singapore to London to San Francisco and everywhere in between are using essentially the same tactics and online tools to locate passive talent today. Sites such as LinkedIn have, in some cases, become the primary resources that recruitment professionals use to find candidates. It’s not to say that is a negative thing, but it means we are all fishing from a similar pool of candidates. In this day and age with all the tools available to us, that’s not necessarily cutting edge recruiting. The goal of this session is to remind recruiters and resourcers that there is more to a targeted recruitment plan than just professional networking sites. It will shed light on the fact that, in order to be truly revolutionary, sometimes it’s necessary to combine cutting edge resourcing tactics with long forgotten methods to outwit the competition and find the best talent!
The revolution begins with:
- Understanding how social media is impacting the recruiting landscape in 2012 and how sites other than the “big three” can be leveraged to find the best candidates that no one else is seeing.
- Exploring recruitment branding best practices using search engines, mobile tools, QR codes, and more of today’s candidate-friendly tools.
- Learning proven tactics for extracting CVs, profiles, attendee lists, membership directories and more from a wide array of search engines to build your candidate pool and increase recruitment success.
- Exploring one of the most increasingly popular frontiers in passive candidate recruitment, mobile based recruiting tools, techniques, and best practices.
- Utilising time-saving and organisational tools to help manage and target searches to focus on finding candidate information that can help lead to more cost effective hires.
