Recruiting Today – Creating Brand Promoters

Room: Windgate 62-63

Speaker(s): 

Spradling, Stacy, BBA

Description: 

For decades, the recruitment process has often been treated like an employer-centered transactions what I like to call an us vs. them mentality. Candidates are seen as commodities, as a means to an end, and the focus has been on finding the perfect fit for the job description. But in today’s rapidly evolving talent market, where the demand for skilled workers is at an all-time high, this approach just doesn’t cut it anymore.
We’re going to challenge the traditional mindset and begin to view candidates not as a separate entity or a “problem to solve,” but as partners in the success of our organizations people we want to build relationships with, just like we do with our customers or clients.

By doing so, we can begin making small, intentional changes that have a big impact not only on improving our hiring processes but on fostering loyalty and commitment from candidates who will one day become the very employees who help drive our companies forward.

Objectives

1. Identify areas in their recruiting process that do not serve to find the best candidates.
2. Identify areas in their recruiting process that are creating passive employees.
3. Utilize small changes to enhance a candidate’s brand loyalty.
