The Association of Employment Professionals presents "A Fresh Look at College Recruiting - 2011" 

Tuesday April 5, 2011.  8:00 - 11:00 AM.  (Doors open at 7:30 AM)

Executive Dining Room, LaCava Center, Third Floor, Bentley University, Waltham, MA

 

Presenters: Mary Scott & a panel of Career Services Officers from leading universities.

Our keynote speaker, Mary Scott, is a recognized expert in all aspects of campus recruiting.  A former Career Services officer, she has the professional perspective of campus operations as well as managing college recruiting programs for industry. Join the AOEP for a comprehensive look at campus recruiting and university relations today.  As employment projections continue to trend upward, many employers who may not have been active on campus recently are returning or considering a return to compete for top students.  Do the employers who have "stayed the course" during difficult economic times go to the front of the line?  Are traditional approaches still the most effective to reach targeted students? Do more contemporary practices offer some companies an advantage?  What do students look for in employers, and what can employers do to stand out in a competitive marketplace?  This session will address these questions and more with insight from established experts in the field. Following Mary’s presentation, we are pleased to present a panel of Career Services Officers from leading universities to discuss the current state of college recruiting and employer relations.  This panel will offer insights to what successful companies are doing to stand out, what creates positive and negative impressions for students, and what companies can do to optimize their time and effectiveness on campus.

“Making the Business Case for Corp. HR and Third Party Firms Leveraging New Media to Recruit”

 

On March 3, 2010 we hosted a morning session open to the public from 8AM – 10AM at Bentley University, Waltham, MA dedicated to “Making the Business Case for Corp. 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 were presented and discussed. Attendee reviews of the session were overwhelmingly positive. The format, presenters, content, and discussions all rated very high.

 

Special thanks to our exclusive sponsor of the event, Indeed.com. “Indeed. one search. all jobs.”  whose generosity allowed 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.
