LEADERSHIP & STRATEGY
True Confessions: The Five Smartest and Five Dumbest Things I've Done as a Recruiting Leader

Tony Blake
Director of the Recruiting Center of Excellence
DAVITA, INC.


SESSION DESCRIPTION

In this "confession" session you'll hear the best ideas and biggest flops from a leader who orchestrated four recruiting makeovers in the last 10 years. Tony will discuss forming vision and strategy, driving performance, implementing systems, conducting "experiments" (e.g., central sourcing, inviting boomerangs), expressing your employment brand, and more. Through stories (some funny) he'll share lessons (some painful) and provide tools you can apply in your day-to-day leadership. In the end you will be challenged with the big question: do you have the "right stuff" to be a great recruiting leader?

Tony's presentations are always chock-full-o-metrics, in-your-face honest, delivered with passion, and (somewhat) entertaining. If you are a recruiting leader, hope to be one, or at least work for one, you're sure to have a chuckle or two and leave with clear, actionable "take-aways." Maybe you will even shift your leadership paradigm a bit.
