Click here…

Based on the feedback from the April 17 Kick-off session in Fort Lauderdale and the programming that was planned following up, this event reflects what the majority of people asked for: Rather than regular breakfast meetings, less frequent half- or full-day sessions to work through the curriculum, at least to start with.

So, here’s what we have…

No Cost/Low Cost Sourcing Workshop and Clinic

This full-day interactive workshop and clinic will cover the following:

Part One: The Building Blocks of Sourcing Strategy

The objective is to share a systematic approach for:

  • Bridging the divide between “who” and “where” and “how”
  • Evaluating various strategies and selecting the best ones
  • Creating and presenting your sourcing plan
  • Getting consensus, buy-in and budget

Part Two: Delivering a No Cost/Low Cost Sourcing Plan

The objective is to cover the basics for:

  • Finding candidates, resumes and leads using search engines like Google
  • Developing competitive intelligence to develop alternate sourcing channels
  • Posting and advertising your jobs for little or no cost
  • Telephone names sourcing and identifying truly hidden talent
  • Mining your desktop for qualified candidates

 Part Three: Sourcing Clinic

In this shirt-sleeves session we will apply various techniques and the lessons learned for sourcing candidates online. The aim is to produce actionable leads, qualified resumes or specific follow-up assignments for your toughest-to-fill positions. You should be returning to your desk primed and ready to go!

Sessions sponsored by: ZoomInfo

These workshops are open to all interested recruiters and staffing professionals. For background The BROWN BAG RECRUITER Program Overview and Curriculm Guide is available for download here, and the BROWN BAG RECRUITER Kick-off Session Binder is available here.

Lauderdale — Don’t Just Show Up! http://brownbagrecruiter.com/recruiters-breakfast-training-in-ft-lauderdale-dont-just-show-up/ http://brownbagrecruiter.com/recruiters-breakfast-training-in-ft-lauderdale-dont-just-show-up/#comments Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:55:55 +0000 Amitai Givertz http://brownbagrecruiter.com/recruiters-breakfast-training-in-ft-lauderdale-dont-just-show-up/ SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Recruiter’s Breakfast Training in Ft. Lauderdale — Don’t Just Show Up!", url: "http://brownbagrecruiter.com/recruiters-breakfast-training-in-ft-lauderdale-dont-just-show-up/" });]]> If you had $8,000 or $10,000 a year to spend on yourself or a team member for recruiter training what would you do with the money? AIRS training; assorted workshops and webinars? Bring a trainer in from out of town? Hire a trainer? One-on-one coaching? What?

How would you measure the return on your investment? How would you make a one-size-fits-all approach to recruiting fit into your world, your industry, your organization, your daily routine?

For one moment – just a moment now – imagine what it would look like if you could get all of this for the price of breakfast, without any sales pitches or a “best-practice” axe to grind. What if you could network with your peers or have a buddy system to call on when impossible situations come up?

Imagine.

Join me on April 17 for the kick-off session of BROWN BAG RECRUITER. This half-day session will introduce you to a radical new way of thinking about recruiter training, getting trained, applying the knowledge and growing, professionally and personally.

You’ll take home practical solutions for managing the first steps in the recruiting process: job and candidate profiling, sourcing on a shoestring budget, managing hiring managers and so on.

If you want to continue in the program after that, feel free – the costs are covered by the programs’ sponsors. You just pay for breakfast [or lunch sometimes].

Date
Thursday, April 17, 2008

If you have special needs, questions, thoughts or comments please let me know.

Thank you for reading this far, imagining with me.
