The corporate
recruitment function is one of the most
strategic and highly visible company functions
today, as the talent wars are again heating up
and executives who can effectively lead are
becoming harder and harder to find. The
pressures are enormous – everything from
corporate politics to budget squeezes is taking
its toll. How do you build the right internal
recruiting team with the right skills? Make sure
your human capital strategies are aligned with
both corporate goals and business realities?
Balance strategy and execution? Keep your
perspective fresh and your focus firmly on
priorities? When do you outsource – and when do
you execute in- house? Using real-life case
studies and examples, our panel will help sort
through the issues that the successful talent
acquisition team must address today – and the
challenges they will face tomorrow.

STRATEGIC TALENT MANAGEMENT - Learn why
Workforce Planning is the key to HR Success
If you were going to build a house, you would
never do it without a blueprint… the same goes
for our own HR profession. “Being more
strategic” is a phrase we often hear in HR… the
key is Workforce Planning. If your goal is to
build an HR strategy, and to be able to execute
against it…then you need to learn about
Workforce Planning. There is a lot of talk about
what it is, why to do it, and even how to do it.
In this single session, you’ll walk away with
the all of those questions answered, and more!
As a participant in this session, you will learn
that planning and managing an effective
recruiting and HR function depends upon your
ability to plan and manage against demand…using
the concept of workforce planning you will be
able to more effectively plan, organize, and
manage your organization’s recruiting and
staffing systems. In this session, we will
specifically discuss the concept of workforce
planning and how it can be implemented. You will
leave the session with specific tools and
templates that you can modify and implement in
your own organization to clearly complete and
understand your own unique workforce plan.

KICKING IT UP A NOTCH!
Transforming the role of “recruiter” into
“leader”
The role of “recruiter”
(staffing, talent acquisition, or whatever you
want to call it), has gone through several
phases in the last few years. The role has also
gone through a good amount of change. From HR
Generalists having to “punch their ticket” in
the recruiting space along the way to something
else… to highly aggressive “sales”-oriented
recruiters focused on technology and direct
sourcing. But now, at the middle of the first
decade of the new millennium, the role of
recruiter is truly moving into a profession of
its own. Yes, we will continue to be a part and
partner with Human Resources…but we’ll need to
do more. We’ll have to transform our roles into
a business leadership role.
In this session, we’ll visit the
opportunities and challenges we face as a
profession, AND…how to address these challenges
head on. We’ll revisit the basis of all great
recruiting and staffing excellence: the
understanding that recruiting, and HR for that
matter, is really about building and cultivating
relationships. We’ll discuss the
tools and resources you’ll need to “take it up a
notch” and transform yourself into a business
leader.
Join noted staffing strategist,
Jeremy Eskenazi…as he shares stories from his
experiences within many of his own recruitment
leadership roles as well as his many global
consulting clients on what’s working and what’s
not in the world of corporate recruiting. In
this interactive and fun session, you will learn
not only the issues but solid tactics on:
-
What are the challenges for
the recruiting profession in the next few
years, and how to address those challenges.
-
How to develop a “roadmap”
for your own recruitment leadership success.
-
How recruiting professionals
can partner better with Human Resource
Generalists, and vice-versa.
-
How use “contracting” in our
day-to-day relationships, and how to walk
the line between being “of service” and not
being “customer service”
-
How to position ourselves and
our teams as “expert consultants” not
internal vendors.
-
What organizations really
value from the changes they make to their
recruiting and staffing functions, and how
can you learn from those trends.
-
How having solid data can
drive future recruitment success: workforce
planning, constituent satisfaction,
candidate quality, etc.
-
What tools, templates, and
resources do current recruitment leaders use
today.

Professional Development Conference
Concurrent Session
You Don't Always Have to Say "Yes"- Pushing Back: Done Right
We often encounter situations from our senior
leadership, colleagues, or even candidates for employment where we
may have to say "no". HR professionals serve as expert consultants.
It is our duty to be able to
"push back" when necessary. and to do it effectively is a
skill that is a tough one to master. We will explore how to master
the ability to "push back" and to say "no" when necessary
without confrontation. After participating in this session you will
learn: How to use "contracting" in our day to day
relationships; The importance of learning how to say "no"
to candidates; How to leverage confrontations into
consultations.
