Session Descriptions:
How to Recruit in Today’s Candidate-Driven Market
The landscape of Recruiting and HR is changing rapidly. In today’s recovering economy, recruiters and HR professionals are increasingly seeing the return of the candidate driven market, in which top performers have their choice of where to work and recruiters and employers are under pressure to provide enticing career possibilities. In this presentation, participants will learn about what drives a candidate: their emotional and motivational drivers, the psychology behind the job search, and the role of the recruiter in the hiring cycle. Participants will then learn how to apply these candidate motivators into an effective selling and branding strategy that will streamline the recruiting process and allow the recruiter to act as a leader to the candidate and hiring manager.
This interactive and comprehensive presentation will provide both novice and experienced recruiters and HR professionals with a comprehensive set of takeaways that cover the necessary techniques to improve their recruiting abilities, candidate communication skills, and overall cycle management.
