DETAILS: Consolidation in the advertising agency world has created four worldwide marketing services giants, and Publicis Groupe now oversees 40 once separately owned agencies. Each of those 40 agencies maintains its own unique name, brand identity, Web site and HR strategy. This session explores how Abramowitz of Leo Burnett took the lead to identify one recruiting system that allows Publicis Groupe agencies to recruit separately, but share job candidates, as needed. Abramowitz will also explain how Burnett implemented this system - Vurv Corporate Edition - 40 times in 12 months. Joining him for this presentation is Derek Mercer, founder and CEO of award-winning Vurv and a well-respected speaker on workforce management topics.
