First up Rebecca Fouts Building a Sourcing Function. So the draft Plan; Calibrate,

Create a support team, Focus, Refocus, Publish the plan, and be agile.  Service

Level Agreements are must haves, and Metrics are all essential, as it hiring the

right people.

Ben Gotkin and The new measuring Standard of ATAP (The Professional

Association for Talent Acquisition).  He went through the metrics that ATAP

Came up with that can be standardized.

Last up was Terri Lawless and What is CRM (Customer Relationship

Management which staffing has made to also mean Candidate

Relationship Management). Went through that Excel is not a CRM and that a

CRMs main function is to improve candidate experience which has a huge

impact on your ability to attract and hire great talent.

Next week I will finish out the Sourcecon rehash, concentrating on tools and

such. Then the Holiday slow down.
