Portland, Here We Come

By johnsumser | Published: June 5, 2008

The promise of the “social web” to make recruiting easier has yet to be realized by those employers who secretly pine for “the way things were.” Social networking sites, blogs, video, podcasting and emerging technologies that should make it easier to connect with our recruiting audience often creates more confusion than opportunity. But it doesn’t have to be that way, it shouldn’t be that way.

On Friday June 20th you are invited to spend quality time with some of the brightest minds in the business, people who have been recognized for navigating this new recruiting landscape and for leading others to master it too. The experience starts with the Portland Recruiting Roadshow:

Date:
Friday, June 20, 2008

Time:
8:30 am PT – 2:30 pm PT

Location:
adidas Corporate Headquarters
5055 N Greeley Ave
Portland, OR 97217

You’ll meet and learn from trailblazers like industry analyst and publisher John Sumser, recruiters and brand mavens Steve Bonomo and Steve Fogarty, interactive impresario Louis Vong, recruiting and talent strategist Susan Burns, and Internet recruiting and employer branding guru Don Ramer.

The day’s agenda, speaker profiles and easy registration are available online now: http://tinyurl.com/6j3czu

Portland, Here We Come

By johnsumser | Published: May 8, 2008

You might have noticed a flurry of activity here at the Recruiting Roadshow. We’ve officially started registering participants for the 2008 Portland Recruiting Roadshow.

If you want to cut to the chase, here are the event details and registration page.

Mark the 20th of June on your calendars. We’ll be bringing the whole shebang to Portland. The kind people at adidas have agreed to host the event. Portland will never be the same.

With five presentations, the Roadshow runs the gamut …. Strategy, Big Picture Demographics, Employment Branding Tactics, The Far Edge of Social Media and Vision. As usual, the Roadshow works to combine out of town and local talent. One of the key ideas is that the people in your town are everybit as capable as people known as experts.

Our sponsors and underwriters are hanging in with us through the experiment:

There is going to be a Recruitingblogs.com sponsored networking event following the Roadshow. More details to follow.
