\nGrowing Your Online Presence: How to Bu
ild Out Your Social Media Recruiting Strategy
\n9:30 a.m. &ndash\; 12
:30 p.m.
\nJob hunting is different today than it was 20 years ago. T
oday\, it&rsquo\;s less about money and more about the &lsquo\;experience&
rsquo\;. In a study done by Better Team\, 59% of job seekers chose to acce
pt an offer based on the company&rsquo\;s social media presence. However\,
having a successful social media presence isn&rsquo\;t as easy as it soun
ds. Many recruiters make the mistake of simply posting their job openings
online and check off the &lsquo\;social recruiting&rsquo\; box\, but there
&rsquo\;s more to it than that.
There&rsquo\;s more to social me dia than just promoting your message\, it&rsquo\;s a place to engage and i nteract with the community around you. This interactive workshop will give you the skills and strategies that you need to start building a social pr ofile that has an impact on the community and your future employees.

d Negotiate a Winning Offer
\n2:00 p.m. &ndash\; 5:00 p.m.
\nYou
&rsquo\;ve just completed countless hours of sourcing and have some promis
ing candidates in your deck. But it&rsquo\;s not even close to over\, now
you must find out if the person matches the resume. The interview process
can be just as grueling for recruiters as it is for candidates. You must m
ake sure you are asking the right questions to find out who this person is
and if they are the right fit for the job.
During this preconfe rence workshop you&rsquo\;ll learn what questions you can and cannot ask a candidate\, get ideas for new ways to ask old interview questions\, and p articipate in role-playing exercises so you can put successful strategies for negotiating the offer\, including pay\, in motion.

h\;How to Attract\, Retain\, Engage\, and Manage the Distributed Teleworkf
orce \;
\nThe war for talent has reached new heights. The economy
is back up\, there are jobs to be filled\, but it seems as though there&r
squo\;s no one around to fill them. The realization that hiring managers a
nd talent acquisition teams need to come to is that the best talent may no
t be willing or able to come to their offices. Fortunately\, with the adva
nces in technology\, the best talent potentially can be found anywhere in
the world. This session will walk you through how to find\, attract\, reta
in\, engage and manage a remote and distributed workforce.
Socia
l Media and Mobile Recruiting: New Trends Every Employer Should be Leverag
ing
\nPresented by \;Lindsay Stanton\, Digi-Me
\nWith so much online clutter these days\, it&rsquo\;s a challenge to fin
d top talent\, and for hard-to-fill roles\, it&rsquo\;s nearly impossible.
Social media is a cost-effective solution that not only gives your recrui
ters the potency to go viral\, but also gives them the ability to target d
emographics such as location and industry focus. Video on social media has
now overrun traditional static content\, and worldwide marketing professi
onals agree that video is the type of content with the best ROI. Digital t
echnology also offers the ability to track your efforts\, so you know how
and where to target your audience. HR can now see exactly where their job
postings are receiving the most attention\, and whether that attention is
converting well into applications. With social media\, mobile devices\, vi
deo and tracking\, you are no longer looking for a needle in a haystack. Y
ou have a bow and arrow that is aiming for bullseye.

o\;s candidate experience\, can you say with complete confidence you&rsquo

Conflict vs. Coll

\nCompanies and managers tend to hire based on education
\, experience\, or skill\, but they often overlook the more important beha
viors and traits that define an organizational culture. The end result is
often voluntary turnover and a disconnect between hiring systems and long-
term employee engagement. Day 2 opens with Bob Kelleher\, best-selling aut
hor and global speaker\, revealing the importance of building your employe
r value proposition (EVP) by connecting your hiring practices to your cult
ure. After all\, engagement comes from hiring employees who will thrive in

Works
hop \;| Creating Compelling Candidate Communications to Double You
r Candidate Email Response Rates \;
\nPresented by Angie Verro
s\, Vaia Talent
\nHave you ever wondered why candidates ignore yo
ur emails? Why you send out over 100 emails a day to potential candidates
only to get responses like\, &ldquo\;Not interested&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;Tak
e me off your list.&rdquo\; And\, that&rsquo\;s not including the 95 (or s
o) percent of recipients who delete without reading at all. With higher de
mand and advances in technology\, we&rsquo\;ve seemed to leave out the per
sonal touch of recruiting. This session will give you the hands-on practic
e you need to create compelling messages that get the types of responses y
ou&rsquo\;re looking for in the first place.
Candidate Poaching:
When It&rsquo\;s Smart&mdash\;and Legal&mdash\;and When to Steer Clear
\nBy now we all know that the best candidates aren&rsquo\;t necessarily
&ldquo\;in the job market.&rdquo\; In fact\, only 12 percent are actively
looking for a new job. However\, according to a Talent Trends study by Li
nkedIn\, 73 percent of your candidate pool is currently employed but open
to hearing about new opportunities.\, You still must proceed with caution
because most passive candidates are hard to get ahold of\, and when you fi
nally do make contact\, you&rsquo\;ve got one chance to make your elevator
pitch&mdash\;and it had better be a good one. This session will discuss t
he do&rsquo\;s and don&rsquo\;ts of candidate poaching and strategies for
implementing this effective sourcing technique.
