Group Discussion:
Broadening Our Understanding of How to Do Talent Management: The New Dialogue between Advocates for the Employer, and Advocates for the Candidate

Discussion Description:
Recruiting that focuses primarily on a candidate's skills is not enough anymore; there are other critical factors, as we are only now beginning to understand. This discussion will be delivered by a unique duo, Yves Lermusi, CEO of Checkster, a popular speaker at numerous HR conferences, and Richard Bolles the father of modern career counseling for job-hunters, and author of “What Color is your Parachute?.”

Recruiting is undergoing change in the light of the financial crisis the whole world is going through. Advocates for the Employer and advocates for the Candidate are increasingly talking with each other. From this is coming a better understanding of how to go about talent recruiting, and talent management, namely by focusing on talent optimization, and its emphasis on broader factors. In this session, using a unique combination of recruiting, career counseling, neuroscience and expert performance principles, we will help you to spot Strengths, Fit and Passion, the critical factors for talent optimization and career satisfaction. You will be able to apply these new insights to your career and your practice of talent recruiting. Focus on these factors can transform you into a new Talent Manager, and propel your organization to new heights.
