David Als, Talent Attraction Strategist at Human Capital Management Solutions, reached out to me to talk briefly about the challenges of integrating Social Media into a recruitment strategy. It was terrific to be able to touch base with David before the upcoming Australasian Talent Conference where I'll be speaking on the same topic this December in Sydney, Australia.

Hopefully you'll have a few moments to catch up on the planned agenda and you'll recognize some of the great people that will be speaking on additional topics like Managing Your Employment Brand through Social Media [Jared Woods, OneSteel], Are We Ready for Mobile Recruiting [Michael Specht, Inspecht] and Social Media Governance [Nicholas Duggal, TressCox Lawyers]

What follows are a few nuggets of that conversation related to fears and misconceptions sometimes held by management and a few of my thoughts around gaining buy-in from business leaders within an organization.
