The 6th Annual Recruiting & Staffing Summit

The talent wars of the 90's may be long gone but the 21st century talent war is just beginning. Companies are preparing to absorb the 2 million workers who have been downsized in the past 24 months. This time around, the hiring process promises to be smarter, more deliberate, better planned and a whole lot more savvy. How prepared are you for the coming storm? - AIRS
