The Talent Acquisition and Sourcing Conclave (#TASCON15) was a grand success and began with an opening session by Yusuf Pathan, the Managing Director of Key Resourcing. He gave a brief introduction about Sourcing Adda (@sourcingadda) and #TASCON15.  The launching of Sourcing Adda was based on the realisation of engaging our patrons. With that in mind several activities were started like Webinars, Tweet Chats, Mega Sourcing Contest, Meet Ups etc. Here’s a description of the activities that were conducted…

Sourcing Adda

We had planned some activities which were thus announced…

• Highest number of Tweets would win a prize
• A Selfie contest where the most innovative and engaged on Twitter would get a prize
• A Standee with the statement “One thing you learnt today!!!” where all the delegates or participants had to write about what they learnt.

The winners of the activities would be announced at the end of the event. When Tweeting the audience, participants including speakers were requested to use the hash tag “# TASCON 15” and the activities took off with Yusuf clicking a Selfie himself.
