Session Topic:
Catch the Recruiting Technology Wave - Are You Ready?

Session Description:
Recruiting is in the midst of a technology revolution. Social networks. Applicant tracking systems. Job boards. Reference tracking systems. Etc. Ö As hiring managers and candidates work outside the system and find each other more easily using modern social networking platforms, traditional recruiting methods and technologies are being rendered obsolete. Yet with it comes a higher complexity of management and volume of applicants. So, how are you going to successfully find the best candidates and manage your recruitment process with so many disjointed solutions and channels while decreasing costs? In this session, you will learn about how the changing recruiting landscape will likely make many existing types of recruiting software unnecessary. You will also learn how to position your company to take full advantage of this wave instead of being crushed by its force.
