Good Retention Starts With Good Recruiting

Employers today are talking about the importance of retention. But seldom do we stop and evaluate what we are doing to attract talent. Even in today’s uncertain times, top talent has choices. They want to be treated like “rock stars.” The employment experience matters, but so does the courting experience from the moment talent hears about you. “It’s not just about getting them to the door, you’ve got to get them to knock, invite them in, make them feel welcome, and get them to stay.” Join noted staffing strategist, Diana Meisenhelter, as she shares stories from her 20 years in corporate recruiting roles, as well as her many consulting clients on what works and doesn’t work in recruiting and retention. In this interactive and fun session, you will learn not only the issues facing recruiting and retention but take solid tactics back with you that will make a difference.

A Frank Discussion About Global Recruiting

“Global recruiting” is a currently a buzzword in our profession. There are discussions in boardrooms all over the world about how to use global talent pools to fill key gaps inside of organizations. Local recruiting and staffing processes are not consistent around the world, and there are significant differences from region to region as to how talent acquisition processes are executed. Join global talent acquisition strategy consultant Jeremy Eskenazi and two corporate recruiting leaders, one from Cisco in the Asia/Pacific region and one from Coca-Cola Enterprises in Europe, to discuss how true global recruiting is really delivered inside of large corporate environments. Join the conversation about the challenges and obstacles of cross-border recruiting, the unique idiosyncracies of cultural and legal differences within regions, and how even though business is global, most recruiting is inevitably local.
