The future of recruiting – New Kool v Old Skool?

Recruiters need to change and evolve. Social Media, technology, talent acquisition, branding, differentiation, mobile, clients expectations are all changing the landscape, and offer both threats and opportunities.

This information packed mini-seminar examines where new tools fit with old rules, and asks the question whether anything has really changed, and if it should.

• What clients really want from their recruiter – based on what 100 CEOs told me personally
• How the GFC and social media has combined to change clients attitudes to 3rd part recruiters
• The change in candidate attitude to recruiters
• The new talent challenge that we have never seen before
• Talent Pools vs Talent communities- what you have to do now!
• “E sourcing” -the new recruiter “must have” skill
• Understanding social media and integrating it into the recruiting mix
• Can desk-recruiters really use blogging, twitter and Linked in to maximise results?
• Technology. How it is effecting recruiting and how it wont
• Talent acquisition. From job boards to social media to…what?
• Core “old school” skills all recruiters must have to succeed
• What candidates will want from recruiters in the future

Greg has spent the last year visiting senior clients, all over the world. His company, Firebrand, operates in 8 countries and has invested heavily in social media and technology. Here he shares his views on what clients and candidates want from recruiters, how technology is changing our role, social media and how ordinary recruiters can harness its power, and he explains the “old ” techniques that remain as critical as ever.
