The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a global professional association that is advancing the science of strategic talent management, and Jobs2Web, an interactive recruiting partner that helps its clients maximize their contacts with interactive job seekers, announced today that Jobs2Web is sponsoring HCIís Strategic Sourcing and Recruitment education and research track.
Strategic Sourcing and Recruitment is among several topics addressed in HCIís Talent Acquisition community of interest, a community HCI and its more than 110,000 members consider critical to organizations working to leverage human capital.
The track examines how, amidst a shift in the global economy, organizations are questioning how to source candidates widely and effectively. The brightest organizations are using new tools, techniques and talent resources, including online job boards and social networking sites, to strategically source and manage human capital.
ìOver the last few years, full life-cycle recruiters have turned to a variety of different sources to seek out the best possible talent,î said Bill Craib, HCI Vice President, Communities. ìThe war for talent requires a complete understanding of all the tools out there, from social networking and Internet crawling to cold-calling, sourcing and research. Jobs2Web has experienced this phenomenon first-hand; HCI is glad to partner with them to bring this important information to our members.î
ìUnderstanding the rapidly changing dynamics regarding how progressive job seekers are identifying their career opportunities is vitally important to recruiters and to the organizations that employ them,î said Ken Holec, CEO of Jobs2Web. ìThe tools for sourcing and supplying talent are evolving rapidly. Jobs2Web is eager to help HCI help recruitment professionals learn to harness their power.î
As part of its sponsorship, Jobs2Web is hosting an HCI online webcast at 1 p.m. ET on Wednesday, June 25, 2008. The webcast, The Next Wave of Interactive Sourcing: Are You Ready?, features Jobs2Web Founder & Chief Innovation Officer, Doug Berg, discussing whatís happening with online recruitment and the strategies being used to take best advantage of these new trends. Attendance is free with registration at www.humancapitalinstitute.com.
