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.

Learn the challenges faced by small organizations to implement solutions to address organizational requirements and how to overcome these barriers to attracting, engaging and retaining top talent.

Systems and strategies are equally important when attempting to ensure results in small companies as they are in large organizations. Statics show that organizations that implement effective talent management solutions outperform like companies by in excess of 22%.

This session will focus on the what, why and how of implementing strategies and solutions in small businesses to better attract, engage and retain top performers.

We will help you build a business case to get C-Level buy-in to your talent management initiatives and identify ways to effectively illustrate return on investment (ROI) for these programs.

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.

As the competition for top talent increases, Recruiters and Human Resource professionals are under increased pressure to find new and innovative ways to attract top talent. This session is designed to support you as you ‘up your game’ by taking you through step-by-step approaches to increasing the size and level of engagement of your talent pool.

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.

In this session, I’m going to give you the secret to victoriously attracting and retaining Gen Y workers. If you have a current RPO engagement, I would go to your provider and demand that they put together a plan that addresses the unique needs of this generation. If you are considering moving to a RPO model – that could still be a very wise and cost effective decision (especially in light of the secrets I’m going to share with you today). Just make sure that the provider you select has some idea of what the new recruitment strategies will look like to get you the very best talent. If you are considering a RPO model, get this information first before approaching any providers!

Social Media is proving to be the most transformational communication medium since email, and within that space, Social Recruiting is a brand new dimension of HR and recruitment practices. Practically every company in the US (92%) has initiated some form of Social Recruiting into their arsenal. Whether it’s tweets, posts, pins, or updates, Social has changed the way we recruit forever. But how do I measure if my efforts on Social Media are working? This session is for anyone who is looking for some tangible ROI concepts to bring to your organization.

The contracting of HR services and products has become easier but more complex. How is that possible? There are so many providers to select from and very easy to get into the marketplace. However navigating the scoring of functional value, fit of partnership, business case validation of cost and change management have now placed a lot of work on HR. No longer will procurement / strategic sourcing send out an RFP and give you the top three bidders with the lowest cost basis and have you select the correct provider for your company. And it is rarely appropriate to short list only best in class as it may not be best fit for your organization. Spend time with us as we discuss how to create a positive environment for the evaluation and selection of HR providers.
