istock_000004840368smallThe second Social Recruiting Summit will take place in New York on Monday, Nov. 16th.  If you missed the sold-out  Summit at the Googleplex this summer don’t wait too long to check out the agenda and register.  The Summit topics and conversations will challenge your thinking about recruiting, give you an opportunity to network, learn from recruiting leaders and take away ideas that will help shape your thinking about the future of recruiting…..social recruiting.  Follow Summit happenings on Twitter @socrecruiting and track the conversations through #socialrecruiting.

Here’s a preview of my session and I hope to see you there!
Is social recruiting just another sourcing tool—a way to promote job postings and find potential candidates? Or is it a pathway to building a sustainable talent community and another tipping point in the evolution in recruiting?

The tools we have access to today deliver benefits that you won’t find through other sourcing vehicles. Harnessing the true power of social networking is about active talent communities. Talent communities provide a forum that enhances the relationship between candidates and your brand by inviting talent to engage in conversation rather than transactional activities and messaging.

In this interactive session, we’ll take all 200+ of you and create a massive brainstorming community of our own. We’ll look at community development through the eyes of talent and the organization. By organizing into sub-groups we’ll leverage our collective intellect to tackle key questions and begin shaping a sustainable recruiting strategy.

Some of the questions we’ll address include:

  • How can you attract talent to your community, engage them, and give them a reason to keep returning?
  • How can talent be inspired to help you grow the network?
  • How will you convert a community member to a hire?
  • How can your company approach social recruiting to build a sustainable strategy?
  • How can the recruiting function create greater value for the organization?

  • You’ll be introduced to a flexible model that serves as a roadmap to developing a holistic and adaptive framework.
  • We’ll actively discuss key steps and decisions to develop and apply a roadmap from which you can approach broad-sweeping or more targeted components to support a successful and adaptive strategy.
  • And, we’ll delve in to a situational planning exercise to leverage our collective insight and your learning experience.

Expect to be an active participant in small and large group discussions. Through collective learning and expanding the boundaries of our minds and capabilities we’ll define and redefine excellence in recruiting leadership.
