Webinar for Jobscience: presented by Katrina Collier, Winning Impression, Social Recruiting Specialist and Bennett Sung, Jobscience, Director of Storytelling What does it take to get the attention of scarce technical talent, people who are ignoring you? How do you become a person that they actually want to listen to? What’s the best approach? Today, there are so many tools that will help you find technical professionals that it’s easy. But, just because you can easily source and message them, doesn’t mean you should. In this webinar, you’ll discover what it takes to gain trust, build rapport, and be heard over the hundreds of other companies bombarding these candidates. You’ll learn tips for attracting their attention, engaging appropriately, and you’ll know the difference between good and bad practices. Listen to the webinar here: http://bit.ly/1CdjAgo
