Mr. Kerr will be presenting ìCollaboration, A path to long-term sustainable recruitment.î
Kerr explains, ìLeading American companies spend $58 billion a year to attract applicants. In 2006, there were more than 1.4 billion applications received, and a whopping 98.5 percent of those job applicants are not hired. Many qualified and talented applicants are turned away for every position that is filled. Employers have the opportunity to harness the resources Corporate America spends attracting online applicants and aggregate it. By coming together, employers can effectively extend their candidate reach beyond their budgets, cut costs, save time, and improve the candidate experience. In addition, a change in the recruitment model can enable a company to help those they cannot hire right away, fostering good will among potential employees and current customers.î

Over the past several years, QuietAgent has directed its thinking and expertise to radically changing the failing job-board model and creating a powerful new paradigm of anonymous candidate sourcing. Prior to founding StaffCV in 2000, Kerr was the CEO and founder of Forte Solutions Limited, a software development company based in New Zealand that focused on the development of affordable, PC-based operations, support and management software for the global regional airline market. The company was sold to Accenture in 2005. Earlier in his career, Kerr co-founded Forte Communications which designed and developed bulletIN ñ the first SMS text messaging platform allowing two-way text messages to be sent to and from mobile devices and the Internet. In 1997, he led the sale of bulletINís U.S. distribution rights to Telecom Wireless Solutions of Atlanta.
