Crowd of People 350 200 hundred forward-thinking recruiters will gather in London on the 22nd April 2010 for the UK’s second Social Media in Recruitment Conference.

 

Recruiters from the UK, New Zealand, South Africa, USA and 9 European countries will come-together for the Social Media in Recruitment Conference – the Global Gathering.

With a broad mix of delegates, including corporate recruitment and HR professionals, recruitment agencies, recruitment advertising agencies, recruitment software providers and jobsite owners, there should no shortage of questions for the expert speakers.

Mike Taylor from Web-Based-Recruitment.com, organiser of the 2010 Social Media in Recruitment Conference, has programmed the event to show how a wide range of Social Media tools can be used effectively as part of an online recruitment strategy.

Here’s the 2010 Social Media in Recruitment Conference Programme:

  • Strategies for using LinkedIn as part of your online recruitment plans
  • Insights from Google to help you recruit using social media
  • How to maximise the use of Facebook pages as a recruitment tool for your company
  • Key strategies for using Twitter effectively in recruitment, including the use of automated tools
  • How online communities can play a part in your social media recruiting strategies
  • The legal issues surrounding social media and employment
  • Social media strategies for Gen-Y job seekers
  • Social media Success Stories
  • Social media Discussion Panel

 

Social media in recruitment success stories

Taylor is particularly excited that two delegates from the first Conference will be sharing the Social Media strategies they have implemented since attending the July 2009 Conference.  He said:

Mike Taylor“I have never heard of delegates from a previous event coming back as speakers for the next event and sharing their success. They have a unique story to tell and both have seen their businesses grow as a result of using social media.  If you are a Recruiter and you are unsure about how you should be using Social Media in Recruitment then the Conference offers an ideal opportunity for you to learn from others who are already embracing social media as part of their online recruitment strategy.”

Full details of the conference and speakers, including how to save £50 by booking by the 16th April 2010, can be found at the official Social Media in Recruitment website. Or via Twitter, #SMIR
