Social Recruiting Workshop
Cut your recruitment costs and still attract great people
Don't get left behind by your competitors; learn how to maximise social media as part of your direct recruiting strategy
If your job involves recruiting you know what it feels like when you are constantly distracted, pulled from pillar to post by Line managers, let down by agencies, lose great candidates, can't get interviews arranged and on it goes.
You know that recruiting is never ending but every time you think you have a position filled, another one comes vacant; which often means another advert or agency fee as you never have time to build up your own candidate database. The only "good news" is that most other recruiters find themselves in the same position fighting against the tide of vacancies.
Fortunately, the methods we teach you in Social Recruiting Workshop will help you get to grips with social media very quickly to achieve an increase in your own direct hires as well as build a talent pool for the future.

Peter has worked in recruitment since 1987 and online since 1994 and has worked with employers such as Debenhams, Boots, New Look, Tesco, Mothercare, Sodexo and many others.
During this time he has helped organisations reduce their average cost per hire by 65%, their job board costs by over 50% and deliver overall savings for one employer of over £800,000 across various sectors, employer sizes and skill types.
From job boards to Google Adwords, career sites to recruitment systems, Facebook, Twitter and Blogs, Peter has covered pretty much every direct resourcing tactic around. He shares his experience of social media for recruiting to deliver a compelling reason for every corporate recruiter to utilise social media to attract great people.
