Session Topic:

10 Ways Recruiting has Changed Forever & What to Do Next

Session Description:

Recruiting has changed forever; and not just because of the down economy (though that certainly has played a big part of it). Advances in technology, generational shifts in approach, social networking – all of these factors have substantively contributed not only to how recruiting and talent is perceived but also how we go about executing our jobs.

This insightful presentation promises expert advice on the 10 ways recruiting has changed irreversibly, what you can do to make these changes work for you, and how to design recruiting processes that withstand adversity.
