This meeting is SOLD OUT. If you are interested in attending, please contact Mark (732) 821-6652 to be placed on our waiting list.

Discussion Topics

Our lead topic for this Colloquium will be Sourcing / Social Networks / Mobile Apps. Specific discussion points as voted on by members:

  • Sourcing, Let us Count the Ways: Buying piecemeal, gathering inside, balancing contingent labor, outsourcing it all, seeking multiple partners...
  • Translating your Candidate Content and Communications to Mobile: How far, how fast, how different?
  • Building Talent Communities Debate: Should it be done inside or outside?
  • Leveraging Social Networks: Are Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter becoming the 2012 version of job boards? How will Google+ play out?
  • Emerging Technologies: What cool tools are your sourcers playing with?

As is our practice at CareerXroads Colloquium events we ask all attendees to bring “what keeps them up at night” in their recruiting organizations so we can help each other solve those issues. After all, it's the caliber of our group that makes each session unique and provides that Aha! moment you'll take back to your office.
