May Chapter meeting and Breakfast Presentation with Ira Wolfe on 'Recruiting in the Age of Googlization.'

Pending approval for HRCI and SHRM Credits

No business function is being disrupted by technology and demographics as much as recruitment. Tried and true recruiting practices are no longer working. New job categories are emerging, traditional jobs are disappearing and employment technologies are advancing at an exponential pace. An evolving definition of work and acceleration in the automation of work is only intensifying the competition for qualified workers. And yet many companies continue to recruit and screen talent like it was still 1970. Isn't it time for HR to get its SHIFT together and engage more qualified candidates faster? Join author, TEDx speaker, and employee selection veteran for this session to learn what’s working and what’s not in today’s world of talent acquisition.
