Keynote Presentation

RECRUITING AS A PROFESSION.  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.

BUT WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT ABOUT THE CANDIDATE? 10 things you can do to put the WOW back in the candidate experience.

In the world of recruiting, we are always searching for the latest trend and creative idea to attract candidates and retain employees. But somewhere along the way, we forgot about the candidate. A company can put all their effort and resources into sourcing strategies, advertising campaigns, recruiter salaries and technology, but none of those things matters if in the end, “the candidate doesn’t feel the love.” In this session, Diana M. Meisenhelter of Riviera Advisors, Inc., will discuss the possible reasons for this phenomenon, the affect it has had on the recruiting process and some realistic “HOW TO” tools to help you bring the candidate experience back into focus.

This workshop is for corporate recruiting leaders who must work faster, more proactively and more effectively to find and capture the very best talent. The workshop format is expertly developed and facilitated to unlock the potential of your recruiting and leadership abilities.

Who Should Attend:

Corporate recruitment leaders, responsible for strategic activities that include developing staffing plans, selecting tools, leading teams, measuring results, and managing relationships with HR, hiring managers and executives.

Leading a corporate recruitment or staffing function is never easy. Drawing on your technical recruiting skills while you manage your leadership responsibilities can become an 80 hour a week job by itself. Add corporate politics, planning processes, strategy development, managing relationships with internal and external constituencies, designing and implementing effective metrics - and you have a recipe for massive overload. We all need to find more effective strategies for managing the priorities in our recruitment management roles. That's why this highly specialized workshop has been developed for recruiting and staffing leaders who need to work smarter and get more done, faster.

Join this small group, comprehensive, strategic recruitment LEADERSHIP workshop, and you'll interact with other recruiting and staffing leaders on a journey to improve and enhance the way you lead the recruiting function within your organization. The concepts and experiences that will be discussed in this workshop are based on real-life case studies and real-world staffing functions... and have been proven to work!

Specifically, how do you as a recruiting leader take the data and optimize your recruiting function?
