Recruitmax, a global company in technology and services for building great workforces, today shared details of its recent user conference, held last month at Wynn Las Vegas - its clientís newest resort. The event was attended by hundreds of Recruitmax clients, employees, industry luminaries and featured speakers.
Staying true to Recruitmaxís emphasis on the importance of people, the conference kicked off Monday morning with a keynote presentation from Ren Carayol, one of the worldís leading speakers on business transformation, entitled Itís All About the People! The motivational speech set the tone for the conference and following Carayolís words of wisdom attendees were able to work closely with others based around their own user track. In addition to offering general sessions, Recruitmax also designed multiple user tracks to best represent the people who use its products. This approach was well received by attendees and brought people together with their peers, which helped advance the learning process and created tremendous networking opportunities.
More About the User Tracks
The General and Corporate Tracks focused on driving both individual and collective success within an organisation; by maximising skills and implementing efficient methods of recruiting, onboarding and performance management. Lectures covered such topics as, Integrated Talent Management, Reporting and Metrics that Fly and Hourly Hiring Management. Meanwhile, the Staffing Agency Track provided best practices for achieving success in 2005, with sessions such as Candidate Sourcing Best Practices. The Corporate Executive Track was created solely for executives and facilitated by other executives through sessions and workshops covering the best strategies to help drive and ignite HR. Session topics included Leadership and Business Analytics for Executives. Attendees also had the opportunity to preview new product releases and forthcoming enhancements via track-specific product roadmap sessions.
It was a solid event with an impressive turn out of Senior HR representatives. I was also impressed with the energy the Recruitmax Team showed, and met some very solid folks on the team. Overall, I felt the event was very well done! stated conference attendee Tom Culhane, director of Global Talent Acquisition for Owens Corning.
Itís All about the People
With the days booked solid for learning, the attendees got a bit more comfortable through various networking activities in the evenings. By far the most popular of these events was Recruitmax Idol, a talent show based on the reality television hit Pop Idol. The Recruitmax version featured everything from Elvis and Tina Turner impersonators to conference attendees displaying such talents as an HR-based comedy routine, singing and a saxophone solo. This event showed that Recruitmax customers not only attract top talent, but they also have top talent!
Recruitmax CEO, Derek Mercer, commented, Our user conferences are designed to combine learning, networking and a great time for our clients and partners. This one really went the distance in showcasing our emphasis on people - whether in the office, on stage or in the audience! Feedback from participants indicated how productive the experience was and we were particularly honored to have this event at the newest resort of one of our clients - Wynn Las Vegas. They are a great example of how Recruitmax can help a company build a world-class workforce.
