In this 30-presentation, Zach Chertok, principal industry analyst for the human capital management practice at Aberdeen, and Lamees Abourahma, President of the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association talk more in depth about the benefits of working with an RPO partner as an extension of your internal talent acquisition efforts.

Linkedin and Career Transition WorkshopKaren Felder
In the current challenging market, finding your way to the people who might hire you takes skill, targeted networking strategies and persistence. Anecdotal evidence suggests finding your next senior executive role now takes 2-3 times as long than it may have done five years ago. A majority of recruiters and internal talent managers are now using LinkedIn to find and place candidates for their roles and many roles are now hidden, only posted to a recruiters’ network via LinkedIn. If you don’t have a profile on Linkedin and cannot easily be found with the right keywords, you are missing out on the opportunity to market your skills directly. In fact, some companies are even stating that candidates must have a LinkedIn Profile as a pre-requisite, especially for roles which require communication or
very senior level skills,. “Users with complete profiles are 40 times more likely to receive opportunities through LinkedIn”*
*Source: http://learn.linkedin.com/job-seekers/ 2012
The Knowledgefield is offering face to face sessions with a senior executive search specialist to teach you how to use LinkedIn, find hidden opportunities and use tested, process driven networking strategies to find your next senior role.

Becoming Relentlessly Human-Centred in an AI World - Erin Patchell - SocialHR...SocialHRCamp
Speaker: Erin Patchell
Imagine a world where the needs, experiences, and well-being of people— employees and customers — are the focus of integrating technology into our businesses. As HR professionals, what tools exist to leverage AI and technology as a force for both people and profit? How do we influence a culture that takes a human-centred lens?
Accelerating AI Integration with Collaborative Learning - Kinga Petrovai - So...SocialHRCamp
Speaker: Kinga Petrovai
You have the new AI tools, but how can you help your team use them to their full potential? As technology is changing daily, it’s hard to learn and keep up with the latest developments. Help your team amplify their learning with a new collaborative learning approach called the Learning Hive.
This session outlines the Learning Hive approach that sets up collaborations that foster great learning without the need for L&D to produce content. The Learning Hive enables effective knowledge sharing where employees learn from each other and apply this learning to their work, all while building stronger community bonds. This approach amplifies the impact of other learning resources and fosters a culture of continuous learning within the organization.

"While hiring candidates, I
make use of available
networks – employees, top
management and my own.
I keep them engaged from
initial connect message till
finalization. I partner with
the hiring managers to
ensure that there is a
continuous chain of
communication with the
candidates. Be it
exploratory calls or in
person meetings with the
hiring managers, or
regular status updates by
me, I keep the candidate
warm and engaged with
