Lead or Be Led: The Keys to Being More Consultative and Strategic
As recruiters or HR Generalists who recruit, we have 1,000 things competing for our limited time, and can sometimes struggle to lead and be the credible expert that can take our recruiting efforts to the next level.
In this session, John Vlastelica – a former recruiting director with Amazon and Expedia, and consultant and trainer to organizations like Nike, Groupon, World Bank, Yahoo!, Edward Jones, Salesforce, T-Mobile, Nestle, and PNC Bank – will explore HOW the most effective recruiters and recruiting leaders actually LEAD. It’s not a state of mind; it’s about DOING things differently. In this engaging, fast paced, irreverent session, you’ll learn 8 things that the best recruiting pros do better than the rest. Connect with John at RecruitingToolbox and @vlastelica on Twitter.
