Converting Candidate Leads to Hires
Webcast:Taking a page from our Marketing brethren, Recruiting has learned that the best use of social networking is relationship building and branding. The networks, widely varied though they may be, have provided a singular and democratic opportunity for talent acquisition, with "come one, come all" and "share and share alike" attitudes, and thereby opening recruiting avenues once unexplored. Employers are learning to harness this propelling wind to develop deep pipelines of talent and strengthen candidate relationships. Talent pools are only the first step in hiring the best; eventually the prospect must be converted into applicant, and then convinced to come on board. How can organizations maximize social recruiting activities and turn them over into employees? more »

Why Recruiting on Social Sites Works
Webcast:
Feeling social networking fatigue? Without the proper strategy for success, social sites can be colossal time wasters. While every recruiting leader is talking about the importance of using this channel to find and hire top talent, few can actually report that they've done so.
How can your organization turn every communication and pipeline-building activity conducted on a social networking site into actual job candidates? How can you measure the outcomes of those activities? How can you ensure that the time and effort invested resulted in a hire? In this webcast, we'll hear answers to these questions, and more about why recruiting on social sites works. more »

Using Social Sites to Connect with Global Candidates
Webcast:
The beauty of a connected, networked world is the ability to form relationships around the world at internet-speed. The global corporation wants to embrace social networks: the investment, both in money and time is small, and the potential rewards are high and quick. But organizations that do successfully implement a global candidate network strategy understand one crucial element- that it's not about them.
More specifically, the best global recruitment plan is built around the candidate. This is commonly understood in any domestic talent acquisition goals, but somehow forgotten when applied beyond your home country's borders. Understanding culture, language, laws, and practices are important, but just a start. Beginning a (work)life long relationship is the goal, and using social networks can help get you there. more »
Sourcing on Social Networks
Webcast:
Social computing is a very hot topic right now. It is estimated that well over 100-million people in the United States alone have set up one or more profiles on social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, Friendster and LinkedIn. Add to that market people in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, and it is safe to say that a good percentage of the world's talent supply is indexed by one or more social networks. Research by Forrester tells us that a greater concentration of social computing users are professionals with advanced education, and that they are open to being recruited via their networks. However, many recruiters have tried and failed to recruit via social computing, spending hours setting up profiles here and there, searching for talent, making introductions, and getting nothing in response. If social computing is the panacea for recruiting that everyone claims it to be, how do you leverage social networking tools effectively?
During this interactive session with renowned global thought leader and corporate advisor, Dr. John Sullivan, we will dive into the why's, what's, and how's related to sourcing via social networks. more »
Grassroots Networking: The Pros and Cons of Growing Your Social Network
Webcast:
Love it or hate it, user or not, social networking sites are here to stay, and offer significant advantages to the realm of talent acquisition- when engaged properly. Social media sites are so popular with internet users that many human capitalists are working to attract a following by building their own online networks.
For many organizations, the objective of this strategy is to use these network destinations to identify and connect with potential job candidates and talent brand consumers. This strategy does come with its own positives and negatives and inherent questions. Should the network be internal (for existing employees only) or external (do we invite the world at large?) Will our site be one-directional marketing platform where users can learn but not participate, or a true social network and all that comes along with an unedited world? In the last webcast of the year in Social Networking for Recruitment we'll tackle this topic head-on. more »
Career and Social Website Evolution: Creating Collaboration in Your Acquisition Strategy
Webcast:
The Center for the Digital Future, part of USC's Annenberg School of Communication, found in the 2008 Digital Future Project that "internet is perceived by users to be a more important source of information to them - this over all other principal media, including television, radio, newspapers, and books." Additionally, the study found that the use of online social communities or networks has doubled in only three years, and that a large, and growing number of members "say they feel as strongly about their online communities as they do about their real-world communities."
Web 2.0- the concept of web-based technology to create collaboration among users- has redefined what lens employers should use when focusing on their career site design. In this webcast, we'll discuss the employer career site as a social network, and how these new media can be integrated in your acquisition strategy. more »
