| Keynote Session: | Recruiting: Taking it Up A Notch! The role of "corporate recruiter" has gone though several phases in the last few years. From HR Generalists having to "punch their ticket" in the recruiting space along the way to something else, to highly agressive sales-oriented recruiters focused on technology and direct sourcing. But now, recruiters have to transform our position into a business leadership role. In this session, we will explore the opportunities and challenges we face as a profession and transform yourself into a business leader. |

| Keynote Session: | Recruiting and the Hiring Manager Relationship:
How to Make a Difference with Your Internal Clients
We often talk about how to improve recruiting through improving sourcing channels, the latest technology and what everyone else is doing. But we seldom focus on the importance of the Recruiter and Hiring Manager relationship. How the Recruiter and Hiring Manager plan, communicate and execute is imperative to the success of any talent acquisition process. In this interactive and fun session, attendees will learn not only the issues facing recruiting but take solid tactics back with them that will make a difference. |

| Concurrent Session: | Creating Effective Partnerships With Your
Hiring Managers When it comes to improving recruiting, we’re quick to examine sourcing channels, the latest technology and best practices. But we seldom look at the relationship between the recruiter and hiring manager. If they don’t communicate and execute, having the best recruiting plans and processes means nothing. Diana Meisenhelter will offer sage advice on crafting service level agreements, prioritizing competing recruitment activities, and identifying critical recruiting process metrics. You’ll take away best practices you can use in your company — and become a valued and respected business partner to your hiring managers. |

| Workshop: | Consultative Staffing &
Recruiting This program is intended for internal recruiting professionals. It will focus on internal recruiting challenges and opportunities. As a result we are limiting registration to internal recruiting and Human Resources professionals. In this workshop, we will review and discuss the challenges faced in this profession today, as well as, how to address the challenges head on and turn them into opportunities. The class will revisit the basis of all great staffing “best practices”: the understanding that recruiting, and Human Resources for that matter, is really about building and cultivating relationships. The class will discuss the tools, processes and resources professionals need to transform themselves into true recruitment consultants. |
