The Online Recruitment Trade Conference 2009

25 March 2009, The Sheraton Park Lane Hotel, Piccadilly, London

Undoubtedly, the global downturn has put increasing pressure on recruiters to deliver - from all angles: The talent pool is increasing as redundancies and staff cuts begin to take effect, increasing the volume of applications received but not necessarily the quality. In addition, recruitment budgets are under pressure, meaning the recruiter must deliver more, for less. Add this to the fact that many recruitment departments themselves are facing job losses, meaning less staff doing more work, and you get a sense of the challenges they face.

Given the current economic climate, Online Recruitment is an industry that is well poised to continue to grow, as recruiters seek solutions which help them save both time and money. This presents a real opportunity for innovative organizations to seize these challenges and help turn problems into real, effective solutions that will help the recruiter achieve their objectives at low cost. However, there are a lot of players in the market and a constant challenge remains being able to differentiate and offer something different and unique that adds real value.

To stay competitive, it is vital that you keep abreast of the latest trends and technologies in the industry and understand the future innovations and challenges that face your company. To achieve this, make sure you are at the onrec.com Online Recruitment Trade Conference where we will be debating the latest technologies and sharing insights into the future of the industry.
