Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 11, 2008 -- Knowledge Infusion, a leading provider of strategic advisory and consulting services focused on HR, talent management, and emerging technology solutions today announces a new webinar, The Role of the Recruiter in a Turbulent Economy: A Shift from External to Internal Talent. The webinar continues the KnowledgeCast series focused on helping HR be strategic through uncertain economic times. The online event will take place on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 2:00 pm EST/11:00 am PST.
The KnowledgeCast will help HR, talent acquisition, and recruiting leaders understand how the knowledge and experience of recruiters can be applied to internal talent management to help organizations meet the unique business demands of today's economy including downsizing, reorganizations, mergers, and acquisitions. The interactive presentation will focus on the role recruiters can take in ensuring their organization is maximizing internal talent. Specific topics will include internal mobility, succession planning, career pathing, employee performance, and employee talent profiles.
The Recruiting in a Turbulent Economy KnowledgeCast will be presented by Elaine Orler, Vice President of Talent Acquisition Management for Knowledge Infusion. With over 15 years of experience in helping organizations get more value from their recruiting functions and systems, Elaine will share best practices in how to move recruiting from an independent silo to an integrated part of talent management to better understand and optimize your workforce.
"Right now organizations are running the risk of losing the strategic talent that recruiting has worked so effectively to obtain, and recruiters are wondering what their role is now that they aren't hiring nearly as much as they were," said Elaine Orler, "By better integrating recruiting into the talent management plan, you can create a holistic view of external and internal talent and make the best talent choices for the organization."
"HR and business leaders need to understand new ways to use the talent acquisition function to help their organization through these challenging economic times," said Jason Averbook, CEO of Knowledge Infusion. "We are committed to helping companies meeting that objective with an increased focus on talent acquisition in 2009."
All attendees of the KnowledgeCast will receive a complimentary copy of the research paper, "The Importance of Integrated Talent Management for Recruiters".
