Perils and Pitfalls in Building a High-Performance Recruiting Team

SESSION DESCRIPTION

Everyone wants to find that elusive "passive candidate," and many are hiring experienced agency recruiters to conduct the hunt.

What are the issues involved with try to find these people, and more importantly, how do you turn them into corporate recruiters? Is it possible to blend the often-conflicting profiles of the aggressive, "pay-per-hire" mindset of the agency recruiter with the political savvy, cultural, and institutional fit, and compliance needs of a corporate recruiter inside HR?

This session will focus on how one Fortune 100 organization has tried, and sometimes succeeded, at constructing a team with both sets of abilities. Nationwide will show you the power that comes from a recruiting team functioning smoothly--and the spectacular implosion when it doesn’t.
