Topic: Todd Owens, General Manager, Intelius - Screening Services, to Speak at Onrec Online Recruitment Conference & Expo 2008 in CHICAGO Sep. 9-10: E Stephens Convention Center, in Chicago, on September 9 & 10, 2008.

For more information on the 40 speakers participating at this event visit: http://www.onrec.com/conferences/090908/speakers.html Mr. Owens will be presenting, “Background Checks an Emerging Differentiator Among Staffing Firms? “ Mr. Owens explains, “If you’re not talking about your sophisticated, complete candidate screening solution with your customers, beware: your competitors are. And they’re winning in your market. Background checks no longer need to be a pesky cost-driver for your business; a painful check in a box. Addressed early in your sales cycle and in partnership with a capable screening firm, your background check offering can quickly differentiate your staffing services from those of a competitor, increasing your sales, productivity and retention of key accounts.” Owens continues, “The fact is that resume fraud, illegal immigration, and negligent hiring lawsuits are on the rise. This has driven greater than 20% annual growth in the employment screening market – and as a staffing firm, that growth means your customers are proactively paying for more and better screening services. It only makes sense, then, that you can and should bring tremendous knowledge, buying power, and flexible employment screening offerings to your customers, streamlining their process and offering them a solution to a need they clearly have and are willing to pay to remedy. By presenting a comprehensive array of robust and price-competitive screening options in collaboration with your unique staffing solution, your prospect will immediately have a higher level of trust in the quality of those you place, and greater loyalty to you, their partner and staffing expert.” For other session topics visit: http://www.onrec.com/conferences/090908/topics.html Following a distinguished career as a Navy submarine officer, Mr. Owens held senior business development and product management positions at Siebel Systems and Wind River Systems, where he worked predominantly with Fortune 100 IT systems integrators and defense contractors. Mr. Owens holds a B.S from the U.S. Naval Academy and an M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School.

Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v2.08: The Death of Sourcing': m on whatever it was we were talking about. So it was a surprise when I dug in and read his post. John was right. But I have a different bend on it. Sourcing. A verb. Action word. Something that is not yet recoginized by Microsoft Word's spelling dictionary. It is fairly new, yet it is dead? How to define sourcing? What defines something but the majority? Does my company, Broadlook, define souring? Hell no. Broadlook has a few percentage points of the market. Whether I like it or not, sourcing, how we must define it, is what the majority is doing. And what may I ask are the majority of recruiters & sourcers (and I mean ALL recruiters and sourcers) using? Not Broadlook. It's mostly Job Boards and dead databases of one sort or another. So, in a down turn, if you don't evolve beyond average, look to be eliminated. It is that simple. Darwinism. So I liked John's Post. I had to die a litle bit to take it in. That is the secret to change, to innovation and sometimes to survival. You must be willing to "die daily" in how you look at the world, solve problems and do your job. Who you are today does not define you tomorrow, unless you let it. John: thanks for the post that started people talking. Sourcers, in order to survive, must evolve and stop fishing in the same fish bowls of candidates. They need to go to the ocean of passive candidates. Most of them won't do it. No matter how much of the workforce is out of a job, the majority of the best candidates will still be employed. We all know a "top" person who is out of a job. Right? Well the losely worded "top" is ambiguous. I hear that phrase thrown around too much. I prefer clarity. To be more precise. If someone is laid off, and they are truly the "top 20%" of all people in their field. News flash. They will be back to work. These are the people that need to be targeted. For the most part they are not on the Job Boards. I may be off on the %, but I am trying to make a point. Which means SOURCING that is SUCCESSFUL must become a combination of (1)obtaining points of entry, (2)human networking and (3)phone sourcing. Broadlook plays as a piece of that equation. As an innovator, I must continue to scrap what was working yesterday for what will work tomorrow. It is innovate or die. This is the same thing sourcers must do to survive. My challenge is the many people think they know what Broadlook does, but really have no clue. My fault, and we are trying to remedy that. For anyone out there who is a sourcer, who is not working, who must reinvent themselves to survive. I want to offer my services. If you will take the time to learn what Broadlook does. To really learn, first hand, what it is that we do. Forget what your brothers sisters cousin's uncle told you what they thought Broadlook was. Be curious. Be damn curious. If you are committed to learning to use technology and process to do passive candidate sourcing, you may want to see what it is all about. The top companies that are multi-year clients of Broadlook have something in common. They are doing well in the down turn. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Sourcing is dead. Long live sourcing.…; Added by Donato Diorio at 12:23am on March 8, 2009
