What if: No more recruitment

Published on by Gordon LokenbergLeave a comment

A Management Team today asked me in reaction on what is happening in the world of filling jobs, where they throw more money, increase the volume on the “we are hiring -song” on all platforms out there, etc… “our world”

The world of recruiting is going crazy…

What if we stop all the recruitment spend, no more sourcing, no more persuasion, no more adds, no more tap into the community, no more job fairs and yes no more agencies…

What will happen?

What do you think?

Will people still be able to find their next challenging job?

Would the company still be able to grow?

Social Engineering at #Sosueu 2106

Published on by Gordon LokenbergLeave a comment

Glen Cathy opened Sosueu 2016 with a great deck on Social Engineering. Social Engineering is as old as people started to communicate. Funny about the hacks he gave on Social Engineering is, that lots of these hacks seem to be normal, but being aware of the techniques makes it a great asset to your daily tasks .

As always Sourcing Summit is about sourcing, but also about inspiring Sourcers to crawl out of there tunnel vision. New this year was the Pre Conference event: #SosuHacks… Even more reasons to join next year 🙂

In preparation of my presentation this year, I have been thinking, why it takes that long in most of the companies before Sourcing gets its spot in the recruitment marketing mix.

Most of the time, the biggest hurdle to take is to convince the Hiring manager.
