This event will discuss the dramatic impact social media and web 2.0 technologies are having on the staffing practices in many organizations today. You will learn how companies are successfully using social media tools to identify, source and build meaningful relationships with the top "A" level passive candidates in their industries. 

Top HR managers and employers are now using the popular blogging sites -- along with others like Facebook and LinkedIn® -- as an inexpensive and accessible way to feed the talent pipeline. We'll evaluate each of the social media platforms and discuss how you can apply them within your own organization to attract more qualified candidates faster and at a lower cost. You'll also learn the metrics and evaluations you can apply to quantify the impact this is having on your business.
