"LinkedIn: Beyond the Basics"
Leaders and recruiters alike know that social media must be incorporated into recruiting strategies. Even with a wide array of sites and tools available, most organizations focus on LinkedIn as a key part of these strategies. Too often, though, this powerful tool doesn't get used to its maximum capability, due to a lack of understanding of what it's truly capable of doing. During this workshop, SourceRight's Glen Cathey, vice president of Global Sourcing and Talent Strategy, and Eric Jaquith, senior director of Global Recruiting Strategy, will provide an overview of LinkedIn's recruiting functions, from advanced search to LinkedIn Signal, profile searches, rankings and company functions.
Participants will also learn tips and tactics for elevating their LinkedIn recruiting strategies; how to use profiles to receive top ranking and visibility; how to improve their ability to identify the most qualified candidates; and how to get the most value from LinkedIn's free and paid functions.
"Agile Talent Acquisition: Create a Blended Workforce"
The fact that most organizations may count as much as 25 percent of their workforce as contract talent reinforces the need for quality and agility in talent acquisition strategy. However, many organizations have those responsible for sourcing and managing contract workers (procurement) separated from those responsible for sourcing and managing full-time employees (talent acquisition and HR). During this session, SourceRight's Karen Turner, vice president of Product Development and Strategy, and Greg D'Archangelis, senior vice president, Staffing Executive for Bank of America, will discuss how this separation prevents talent acquisition leaders from seeing the complete blended workforce, making it difficult to supply their organizations with the talent they need when they need it.
Attendees of this session will also learn what goes into developing an effective blended workforce approach; how organizations can get procurement owners of contract talent on the same page as the talent acquisition owners of FTE recruitment; and how they can ensure a great career experience for all candidates, free agents and employees alike.
HR and training & development professionals, hiring managers and executives attending the 2012 Strategic Talent Acquisition Conference and interested in learning how to better utilize LinkedIn in their recruiting strategies and how to create a more cohesive approach to the blended workforce are encouraged to attend these interactive sessions that will teach them about some of most important issues facing the staffing industry today.
