10 Strategies for Building a Talent Pool That Makes Recruiting EasyHuman Capital Media
There’s no doubt about it. Competition for top talent is fierce these days. So the question is what can you do to entice the best and brightest professionals to seek out your company? Today’s smart employers are ever vigilant (and diligent) in developing talent pools and pipelines by employing both offensive and defensive recruitment strategies.
How successful are your recruitment strategies? Although your current efforts to find the best candidates might be yielding some good results, maybe it’s time to consider some other creative and progressive techniques designed to engage the interest and passion of your target populations.
Interested in discovering the best methods of cultivating interest from passive candidates who are not currently looking for new opportunities? Curious about how you can get industry superstars to stand in line and wait for vacancies in your company? Join us for this webinar!
In this session, Dr. Chris Lee will explore 10 proactive strategies that recruiters and HR managers can use to gain an advantage in the war for talent. Dr. Lee will discuss how your recruitment tactics, social media presence, employment brand, as well as training and development policies should be integrated into a larger talent management system.

Technology increasingly permeates every facet of modern business, from communications to CRM systems and customer analytics. IT and Digital have been drawn from a background support function and re-positioned as a core driver of strategy, value creation and competitive edge. This tectonic shift has placed senior technologists at the heart of the organisation, making them integral to decision making and leadership.
The DIGIT Leader Summit will explore this evolution of Information Technology as a discipline, discussing the increasing role of senior technologists in driving innovation and efficiency and shaping business strategy within their organisation. The programme will also consider some of the crucial components of leadership, looking at culture, vision, team building, up-skilling and communication.
The Summit is geared for senior IT and Digital leaders and is designed to promote knowledge exchange, best practice and collaboration in a friendly open forum. The event will be held at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh on 24th May 2017 and will be free for delegates to attend.

Communicators know the
difference between benefits
and features.
1. Benefits talk about the customer.
Features talk about you / your product / your service / your event.
2. Benefits include an ROI. Features do not. Vitamin or a Pain Pill?
3. Features are reasons to believe that the benefits promised are true.
4. Inspire, don’t tell. Benefits should create strong emotions: “Spinach is full of
iron” is a feature. “Spinach lets you kick Bluto’s ass” is a benefit.
