A Note from the Editor

Our Magnificent Seven is an integral part of our Technology Innovation & Social Media Showcase Event on the 20th June and the line-up for the event this year has now been announced. The fabulous experts will be on hand during the day to offer their expertise, advice and help on any technology subject. As well as offering free advice all day a selection of our experts will be running workshops covering topics in the social media and technology arena. You can see the line up here. Slight spoiler.... there are actually nine!

 

Also in preparation for the Technology event, we have produced a white paper, in order to help you in your technology decision making process. Written in conjunction with our event partners, it shares How the Top Recruiters Use Technology and the CRM Checklist – 10 Essential Considerations. You can download it here.

 

If you missed the recent #SocialRecruitingShow, To Tool Or Not To Tool?, in which Katrina Collier, Social Recruiting Trainer & Keynote, and Audra Knight, Employer Branding Nerd, chatted to Maisha Cannon, Sourcing Leader at Procore Technologies about all things recruitment tools, and whether sourcer & recruiters are overloaded with them and/or could be using them better, you can catch up with it here.
