Onrec Expo, the largest global gathering of
corporate recruiting leaders, tends to be a leading indicator for future hiring
activity. “It only makes sense, says RD Whitney, CEO of Onrec USA. “If
corporations are looking to hire, they are more inclined to gather and learn
about the latest innovations in the process of recruiting.” If the 2010 event
is used as a barometer for hiring this fall, we are about to see a significant
pickup in recruiting from corporations.
The exhibit hall sold out so quickly,
we had to go back to the convention center and request more space, says Anna
Brekka, VP of Onrec USA. The technologies and services that help corporations
add productivity to the hiring process have reserved the Onrec show floor in
record time, and this points to confidence that their customers are gearing up.
Across the board, the organization has been seeing increased activity related
to the gathering of hiring professionals scheduled for this September 14-16 in
Chicago. Only three more booths remain from the additional space provided,
according to Onrec. More information about the event can be found at:
www.TheRecruitingConference.com
Top corporate recruiting professionals from leading organizations such as
Coca-Cola, Expedia, Hard Rock, Tivo, The New York Times, the NSA, and Reebok
will attend to learn about and share best practices in securing top talent. “2011 will be a pivotal year for the
recruiting industry. As we exit what will surely be one of the most difficult
economic eras most of us will see in our lifetime, talent acquisition is
rapidly becoming one of the key strategic issues facing many companies (again).
Meeting up at a venue like Onrec at this particular point in time will prove to
be really valuable, given the inflection point we are all experiencing as
staffing professionals,” says Jason Warner, Head of Global Talent
Acquisition, Intellectual Ventures (formerly with Google and Starbucks), and emcee of the event.
This encouraging leading indicator suggests
a strong fall hiring season, according to analysts at Onrec. “Research points
to a recovering economy, and conversations with HR professionals and corporate
leaders confirm the findings,” says Paula Santonocito, US Features Editor of
Online Recruitment Magazine. “Even a number of organizations that are on record
with no hiring plans acknowledge they too will add to staff as business picks
up.”
