HR and Third Party Firms Leveraging New Media to Recruit”. 2009 award winning search engine marketing, social media and mobile marketing strategies used to recruit will be included. Doors open at 7:30 AM Continental breakfast will be served in the Executive Dining Room at the LaCava Center. Seating is limited.

Special thanks to our exclusive sponsor of the event, Indeed.com. “Indeed. one search. all jobs.”  whose generosity allows us to offer this session to the community at well below market-rate.

 

The techniques to identify, attract, engage, and recruit talent are constantly evolving. “New Media” is a catch-all term for all forms of electronic communication that have appeared or will appear since the original mainly text-and-static picture forms of online communication. Social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter are subsets of New Media, as are blogs, mobile marketing, search engines, search engine optimization and marketing, streaming online video (live and taped),  email marketing, and more. Because it is “New Media” the space is continually evolving and its definition is constantly expanding.

 

In order win the war for talent, we as employment professionals, need to communicate in ways that are most conducive to the candidate. However, in many situations those most conducive processes for candidate communications are not yet in place as standard operating procedures within our own organizations.

 

How do we justify the investment of time, money, and resources to put these “New Media” in place to best communicate with candidates? In this session we will address that challenge and share actual case studies of how “New Media” are being used successfully to recruit and the award winning methodologies to prove Return on Investment and Return on Influence.
