With unemployment hovering at historic lows, competition for talent has never been keener. It’s a “seller’s market,” and when it comes to selecting an employer, talented candidates with specialized skills have many options. In order to effectively compete for talent, employers must do the following: A) Deploy a bonafide game-plan that allows them to consistently and intelligently convey their organization’s talent brand in a manner that will resonate with all candidate prospects; B) Creatively and reliably articulate their firm’s compelling story and culture in a manner that meaningfully aligns with candidate motivators; C) Ensure that selling message continuity exists throughout the recruitment lifecycle and is thoughtfully and reliably communicated with associates and leaders; D) Design and execute a definitive candidate communications and engagement strategy that results in a tremendous candidate experience and yields more quality hires.

Creating the “Wow!” Factor® is a comprehensive program that addresses critical candidate engagement and employment branding strategies that translate to greater recruiting success. Creating the “Wow!” Factor® will directly help your organization to distinguish itself as an employer of choice throughout the hiring process to all candidate prospects.

As a recruiting leader or manager, each day unfolds with new challenges that must be addressed and important decisions that must be made. We must actively engage hiring managers and candidates, collaborate with staff, and assure that recruitment workflows are operating efficiently. As much as we devote time, energy and resources towards achieving great outcomes for our clients, hiring authorities, and candidates, many of us do little to proactively invest in developing and refining our individual strengths and abilities. Most of us don’t purposefully or deliberately apply our strengths towards how we conduct ourselves as leaders, how we manage and cultivate staff, or how we execute on projects. While we are all familiar with the notion that we are best served by, “playing to our strengths,” how many of us are actively or consciously pursuing our work from a strengths-based perspective?

Leveraging Your Strengths As A Leader – Cultivating The Strengths Of Your Team®, is designed to help recruiting, HR leaders, and managers better understand and more thoughtfully leverage their own natural strengths and abilities. This course also addresses how leaders can more meaningfully assess, understand, and nurture the natural strengths and competencies that inherently exist in every team member. Additionally, this session highlights the “Optimized 1:1,” a recurring, formal communication tool designed to enhance associate performance, while also serving as a mechanism for consistent, ongoing coaching, and development.

The Intelligent Interview® is an essential course for anyone wishing to acquire, expand, or master critical talent assessment and evaluation methodologies. The Intelligent Interview® addresses a variety of candidate interviewing best practices that are integral to the design and facilitation of a superior and replicable talent selection program. If you are looking to advance your personal interviewing skills, or are seeking to broadly elevate your company’s interviewing processes, The Intelligent Interview® course delivers tremendous ROI.

In recruiting, the ability to effectively engage both active and passive candidates (and especially passive candidates) via introductory phone calls (aka “Cold Calls”) is one of the most important skills any serious recruiting practitioner can develop.

A fundamental truth within recruiting is that not all recruiting cold calls are created equally. The “Compelling Cold Calls”© DVD, is an outstanding 2-hour training program that is entirely oriented to the art and science of making the very best introductory calls possible.

3) Recruiting Cold Call Frameworks and Unfocused Cold Call Schema and Word-Track Design;

4) Recruiting Cold Call Execution Strategies (Program contains Live, Recorded Recruiting Cold Calls)

On a monthly basis, talent acquisition professionals within corporate recruitment, executive search, and staffing environments collectively spend countless millions promoting positions on large career portals, regional job boards, and smaller, specialized niche job boards. Online job postings have unquestionably become the predominant tool that recruiters utilize to attract talent.

As a result, today’s candidates are awash in advertising stimuli and seemingly have more options than ever before. As the number of online recruitment postings continues to rise, the same can’t be said for the actual content or quality of most job postings, descriptions, and advertisements. In short, not all job postings are created equally.

In far too many instances, job postings are comprised of mundane, static, and lifeless descriptions (too often verbatim replications of generic descriptions sourced from prior ads and postings) that not only fail to resonate with job seekers, but also fail to provide active or passive job seekers with a compelling reason to respond.

This session, “Crafting Compelling Job Descriptions and Job Board Postings” provides a contemporary assessment of job postings today, while also addressing the extent to which many recruiters can optimize the performance and ROI of online job postings while also distinguishing themselves in the eyes of hiring authorities and prospective candidates.

By the end of the Session, participants will know how to:

Identify six (6) key shortcomings inherent to most online job postings;
Appreciate/incorporate ten (10) essential selling message components of consequence to virtually all candidate prospects;
Utilize a proven, replicable job posting composition template to quickly create advanced postings;
Transition advanced postings into position-specific marketing collateral for transmission to passive prospects;
Leverage advanced postings to strengthen brand perception, and to project a consistent and significant “Knowledge Value-Add (KVA)” as a means of enhancing both client and candidate relationships.

This program also highlight case studies that demonstrate how advanced postings can be successfully leveraged as a branding tool/competitive differentiator to further project a recruiter’s subject matter and domain expertise. If you are looking to significantly upgrade the quality and effectiveness of your firm's postings and descriptions, this is the program you've been looking for.
