Web 2.0 Talent Acquisition Summit

Jobs2Web recently held a “Web 2.0 Talent Acquisition Summit” in Cranford, N.J., during which HR professionals networked with their peers and experts while learning new ways of optimizing interactive recruiting. It was a terrific event and I want to thank our presenters and customers who contributed their time.

Planning to be at OnRec.com Expo? Join Me and Learn about the Death of the Job Boards and Where You’ll Find Job Candidates in 2010 and Beyond

I’ll be presenting “What If Job Boards Died? Where Would You Get Candidates?” on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 from 4:10 to 4:50 p.m. at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center during the OnRec.com Expo 2009 and Kennedy Information’s 2009 Recruiting Conference and Expo.

During this session, we will discuss how employers are shifting their focus away from the job boards and using new interactive marketing tools to drive talent directly to their career sites, build their own talent communities and reduce their cost per hire.

Attendees to this session will learn the top five problems with most career sites, why their jobs are hidden from major search engines, five new technologies every career site should have and how to optimize a career site with minimal IT support. I will also present the three secrets the job boards don’t want anyone to know and how to leverage search engines, job aggregators, social networks and other Web 2.0 technologies.

Jobs2Web will exhibit in booth No. 112. Hope to see you there!

Social Recruiting – What’s Your Strategy?

Taking a Multi-Channel Approach Produces Optimal Results

 The evolution of social recruiting and the use of Web 2.0 technologies to develop talent communities of passive and active candidates have created new opportunities for organizations seeking ready-made talent pipelines and stronger employment brands. While the concept of social recruiting is nothing new – recruiters have traditionally relied on communication platforms such as the telephone and email to connect with potential job seekers for years – social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Ning and Twitter are opening doors in the new recruiting frontier.
