Strategic Talent Sourcing: Finding existing talent is a great skill for a world-class recruiter but it often is reactionary: the enterprise has an active need that needs to be filled today. Most sourcing for talent today draws in ONLY those actively searching or thinking about a career change – this approach ignores a huge addressable market of non low-hanging talent - generally more of the top talent not yet actively seeking you out. This session will highlight an approach to combining a short-term active approach with a longer-term prospective candidate engagement strategy to ensure a robust talent pipeline. Learn how to build talent relationships, for the long term.

Every day brings news of the latest law involving employers’ use of background checks. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has intensified its scrutiny of hiring practices, exposing employers to greater risk of discrimination lawsuits.

Armed with real-world examples, EmployeeScreenIQ’s Jason Morris will examine the changing legal landscape that employers must operate against. Jason addresses these new guidelines along with the “ban the box” legislation. Jason also speaks to the controversy surrounding employers’ use of social networking sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to influence hiring decisions.

Organizations shouldn’t be dissuaded from executing background checks, but these new guidelines underscore the need for employers to be vigilant in their compliance measures.

The Good and Bad of Enterprise Gamification will look at when gamification is a great tool to use and when it’s not. This presentation will include examples, outline risks and rewards and innovative opportunities for HR and Recruiting. We will explore some innovative uses that are pertinent to HR and Recruiting, such as a motivational tool or for onboarding, acculturation, leadership, learning, and specifically as a means of innovating internal referral programs. Attendees will be able to feel more confident with gamification as an application for their organization. They will have a checklist to spot potential problem areas. Attendees will also have a set of valuable resources to support their decisions to move forward or question requests that come in.

The widespread adoption of social media has revolutionized the way we communicate and do business. What hasn’t changed is the necessity for business leaders to be aware of how their company and employer brands are represented to current and prospective clients and employees. Social media, giving anyone with an internet connection the ability to self-publish, has created a new host of new challenges and opportunities to be considered.

On this webinar, we will address the following questions:

• What new challenges and opportunities should HR leaders be concerned with?
• How do you engage and empower your employees around social media while protecting your company and employer brand?
• How are candidates and clients finding information on your company and how to manage this?
