I will have the great pleasure of speaking at the conference on:
Strategic My A**… This Is What Strategic Recruiting Really Looks Like
Wednesday, April 29, 2015
11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Description
“We have to be more strategic” is the most frequently used phrase in recruiting and talent management. Unfortunately, declaring yourself to be strategic doesn’t sway executives. Most recruiting leaders who use that phrase really have only a general idea of exactly what being strategic really means. For example, if you think reducing your “cost per hire” by two percent is strategic, you need to face the reality that you have to measurably impact strategic business goals (like revenue or innovation) to be strategic. There are in fact only a few strategic corporate recruiting functions, and they think and act completely differently than the average tactical recruiting function. There are many benefits associated with being a truly strategic function, including executive recognition, more funding, having hiring managers listen to you, and the ability to attract the very best recruiting staff.
If you’re serious about becoming more strategic, this session will provide a list of the true indicators of a strategic recruiting function. And it will also show you how you can objectively assess your current level of strategicness on each factor and the realistic action steps to take in order to become more strategic.
