I have over 1200 contacts on Linked In, a few hundred friends on Facebook, I have a good deal of followers on Twitter and on my Facebook Fan Page and my blog. A few weeks ago, I polled them. I asked, “If you could only commit one hour to a webinar, what is the topic that you would make time for?” The overwhelming answer came back – “We know that we need to update or change our recruiting strategies and processes, but can you show us how it should look? Guide us through what an effective model looks like.”

So, here it is. I am going to tackle this BIG issue and walk you through how to establish an effective recruiting strategy, stellar sourcing and screening processes, the best technologies, and the mindset and goals of your recruiting staff should grasp.

Despite continued high unemployment, hiring volumes and consequently vendor revenue have been accelerating double-digit. Many new contracts continue to be awarded by large clients, as well as an increasing number of mid-market clients in both the private and public sectors. RPO contracts are increasingly being awarded outside of the U.S. and the U.K. and many are multi-country and multi-continent. Clients are seeking RPO specialists to not only attract the right talent, but to help engage and retain talent as baby boomers who put off retirement while the economy was bad are beginning to leave the workforce, creating a shortage of talent that will be difficult to replace. Thus RPO is increasingly including value-added services such as talent planning, employer branding, internal mobility, onboarding, employee engagement and retention. This presentation will help to explain what RPO is and is not, why buyers are purchasing RPO, how clients are benefiting from their decision to outsource RPO, and what do both buyers and providers need to do to make it successful.

Many recruiting professionals are challenged with the same dilemma:

• Focus time and energy on just a few top candidates and risk overlooking someone stellar.
• Dig deep looking for that “diamond in the rough” and never see the light of day.

Focusing time and energy on the top of the resume stack with the hopes of finding top candidates causes many talent professionals to endure nagging feelings of regret wondering if they’ve overlooked someone great. These same professionals find themselves conflicted with regret while maintaining a longing for a way to cast a wider net and find that “diamond in the rough” and still leave the office at a reasonable time.
