CHRP Recertification Points: 3

Recruiting 101 - Tips, Tools, and Techniques

Join us for this interactive workshop that provides an overview of the full recruiting cycle.  By participating in this session, you will learn tips, tools, and techniques that will increase your recruiting savvy and better prepare you to deliver on your next recruiting assignment.  Whether you are part of a large recruiting team, or looking to improve your general knowledge of the recruiting function, this workshop is intended to increase your ability to recruit with confidence as well as provide you with practical applications that you can use immediately when you return to the office.

Learning Objectives

After attending Recruiting 101, you should be more confident to:

• Pin that hiring manager down and gain commitment by making sure you get all the information you need to initiate the hiring process
• Be bold and innovative by channeling your inner sales and marketing persona to attract active and passive candidates
• Ride the recruiting FUNnel by effectively down streaming candidates during the hiring process
• Sharpen your interview abilities by using outcomes based interviewing techniques to find your star candidates
• Manage the art of the deal by leveraging your skills to sell, negotiate and close the deal (Hint - it's not always about the cash...or is it?)
• Overall, increase your general recruiting abilities and comfort level by finding and hiring better candidates faster, discovering why applicant control is so important, understanding the key things top recruiters do on every search, learning how to find the 'less active' candidates, and maximizing candidate quality while reducing cost and time to hire.
