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.

RECRUITING RESPECT: Getting senior managers, hiring managers, and candidates to respect the role of recruiting.

Recruiting and staffing excellence is achieved by building and cultivating strategic relationships with various groups - including senior management, colleagues, and candidates for employment. However, striving to develop these essential relationships often places the recruiting and staffing professional in an internal customer service role. You will learn:

  • Enhance your relationship building skills by learning how to be "of service" to senior management and colleagues, not "customer service."
  • Learn how to ensure that important external constituencies, such as candidates and vendors, are treated with respect and dignity while at the same time expressing your needs, wants and decisions.
  • Discover how the strategic use of technology can empower you to focus more on essential talent management issues, and less on administrative tasks

Join Jeremy Eskenazi, and Brenley Brotman, Director of Executive Recruitment for AT&T Wireless Services, to find out how to develop these essential relationships and ensure your team is "of service," to your organization; not customer service.

EFFECTIVE RECRUITMENT OUTSOURCING - Partnering With Search and Recruitment Firms

Often a decision is reached by an organization to outsource recruitment to search firms. Using these resources can be a very frustrating and costly experience unless search and recruitment firms act as your partner, not your vendor. The presenter will explore the search firm outsourcing process and alternatives to traditional retained and contingency search including "preferred provider programs," buying research, outsourced Internet sourcing, and "un-bundled" search. The presenter will help you understand the roles of hiring manager, the internal HR pro/recruiter and the external search professional. By the conclusion of the session, you will understand the business and processes of retained and contingent search firms and how to select the search professional that is right for you and your organization's needs. You will also learn how to negotiate terms and fees effectively and how to create a contract that identifies joint accountabilities for success.

Student Presentation
Lunch Speaker
The future of "Talent Acquisition" and Recruitment
Over the past several years, the "talent acquisition" / Recruiting profession has gone through quite a bit... the significant economic expansion combined with the demographics of the workforce combined to create a boom in the recruiting environment... but, as the economy soured... the recruiting environment crashed. However, the same workforce demographics (low unemployment, aging populations, and educational issues) still play havoc on the future ability for companies to be able to get and keep the best talent.

In this lively briefing, noted Talent Acquisition expert, Jeremy Eskenazi, will share tales of what we have learned during the "go-go" boom days of the "roaring 1990's" and what's ahead in the future. Join Jeremy as he recalls his lively experiences recruiting and staffing in the days of the "dot-com boom", how he applied his grounded knowledge and resources from his past corporate experiences, and what he's learned from his successes and failures.

We'll discuss what's "in" and what's definitely "out" in the recruiting and staffing environment and discuss how companies today can prepare to be smarter, measured, and more aligned to their business objectives when they re-start, re-build, and grow their businesses as our economy continues down the slow-moving upward path.

Monthly Membership Meeting and Roundtable
Keynote Presentation WHO CARES ABOUT COST-PER-HIRE? USUALLY HR...AND THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
Some fresh ideas on staffing metrics and aligning with business leaders

Cost per hire, time to fill, etc. These are all the standard, "ho-hum" metrics that of their success. But, let's face it... at the end of the day...who really cares about these measures except the HR team? In this interactive session, we will look at some new ways at looking at metrics and measures of success in staffing and recruiting. The metrics that we should be looking at and measuring should be only those that are aligned directly to the business leaders whom we support and partner with...and we should only measure what is important to the business leaders not just HR. We will discuss metrics such as candidate quality, contracted time-to-fill, staffing cost indexes, and service quality. We will also discuss the concept of "contracting" and "service level agreements" in the staffing arena.
