Funky Can be Strategic! Recruitment Technology to Give you the Edge

We’ve been lucky enough to have had Lisa Jones at all our technology events so far.  She certainly knows her stuff and whilst she does have a service that she sells to recruiters (basically her knowledge!) she is able to share information at our events without pitching for business.  So, again for our June event we’ve asked her to come along and present.

She’s going to be our keynote speaker and is going to talk about technologies that recruiters can use to give them a business advantage.  This is where the agency recruitment market is in her opinion:

* Getting healthier (even if we are scared to be confident and admit it)
* Getting more competitive – our clients AND candidates are now our competitors, and smaller agencies are taking chunks out of the bigger ones
* Our recruiters are becoming paralysed by technology options (options paralysis?)
* With all of the lovely technology out there that will supposedly make us better sourcers, account managers and business developers, the one thing we need is a time machine to help us get the time fit all of the new technology in – and Dan McGuire hasn’t built one yet! (Although I bet it’s in development)

So, during the afternoon Lisa will be looking at what technology there already is that you could be using differently, she’ll talk about what technology is coming up that you need to be aware of and plan for and  overall she’ll be outlining how the recruitment process can benefit from funky technology, and how to use it strategically and avoid option paralysis.

Our Technology Showcase event is ONLY for recruitment agencies.  It’ll give you the chance to learn from experts like Lisa as well as chat with 20 really interesting technology providers.  The best bit is that it’s free of charge!  Yes, you pay a deposit to register but you get that back when you attend.  In addition, there will be free drinks in the evening (paid for by any foolish recruiters who register and then don’t turn up!!).
