The majority of HR technological innovation to date has been focused on improving efficiency and effectiveness of corporate HR/recruiters, with little being done to help improve the candidate experience of applying for a job. In many cases, these technologies have actually made the process worse for candidates, forcing them to manually enter their information into long application forms.

Organizations wanting to attract top talent need to make candidate experience a top priority within their HCM strategy. This means ensuring candidates have a positive experience throughout the application process, including making it easy for them to provide their information.

This presentation will show how you can make the application process simple for both the candidate and the recruiter. It will also show you how to increase the amount of candidate information captured, enabling recruiters to make quicker and more effective decisions on which candidates to pursue.

Learn about the importance of Candidate Experience and the impact it can have on the volume and quality of candidates that will complete your organization's application process.
• Learn how to simplify the application process for both the candidate and the recruiter, while capturing more of the candidate's information at the same time.
• Learn how to consider Candidate Experience throughout your entire recruitment process, including your Oracle HCM system.

Why has social media become popular for recruiting? Internet users in the US spend nearly a quarter of their time online using social media (Social Media Explorer: 101 Social Media Stats to Make your Spirits Bright and your Head Spin – Dec 15, 2010).

Recruiters need to start using social media to search for candidates, market job openings, and learn more about candidates. However, these activities are manual, time-consuming, and occur outside of your HCM system, making it impossible to capture any information from these activities.

Attendees will learn how to incorporate social media into their recruitment process to help find, attract and engage with the best candidates available, all from a solution that integrates with their existing HCM system.

We will also share customer case studies to demonstrate how customers are using the integrated solution and the benefits they’ve gained.

1. Discuss the importance of incorporating social media into your recruitment strategy.
2. Learn how to incorporate social media throughout your organization's recruitment process from within your existing HCM system.

Explore case studies of organizations that have implemented social media recruiting and the benefits they've gained.

Small business owners and HR leaders often recognize that employees are the most valuable asset but taking the first step towards identifying and executing an effective talent management strategy that can lead to engaged employees and small business success is often not top priority or just too difficult to accomplish.

Virtually every member of Gen Y -- today's college students and recent graduates -- and about 90 percent of Gen X'ers and Baby Boomers care enough about only one electronic device to carry it with them virtually everywhere they go: their cell phones. Most young adults see their cell phones as important to carry with them as their wallet and keys and the significance of their cell phones has only grown as most of those young adults have graduated from feature to smartphones like iPhones, Androids, and Blackberrys. Indeed, some studies are now projecting that in 2013 the large majority of college students and recent graduates will own smartphones. In this highly interactive and humorous presentation, learn why your organization needs to have a mobile recruitment marketing strategy and how best to implement it so you can recruit the candidates you need and stay within your budget.

Whether we're prepared for it or not, today's reality is that we are all our own personal brands. Whether you're on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter, how you represent yourself on these platforms (or not) projects an image about you and the company you represent. The days of employees checking out of their corporate personas at 5 o'clock on are over. However, you need not fear the blurring of the lines between one's professional and personal brands. In this session, we will answer the questions posed above, provide specific examples of effective co-branding, and demonstrate how a mutually beneficial policy of co-branding between you and your employees can be implemented and encouraged within your organization.

In today’s ever changing world of recruitment marketing, one variable remains constant: your employment website. No matter the sourcing channel, be it social or traditional media, referrals, emails, SEO, SEM or even snail mail, your career site is and will remain the primary destination for candidates as they evaluate your organization as an employer. Thus, it has the ability to make – or break – your recruitment marketing outcomes. This seminar will demonstrate the profound effect the look and user interface (UI) have on recruiting efforts by walking attendees through employment website best practices and innovations, from the very basics of quick search job functionality to rich and social media integrations. Participants will come away with a thorough understanding of how they can increase the number of quality applicants they attract by improving their organization’s career site.
