Things are shaping up for our upcoming Atlanta Recruiting Roadshow to be held on Tuesday, September 25th, 2007 at The Bill Moore Student Success Center on the campus of Georgia Institute of Technology.
In keeping with the best unconference tradition things could change on the day depending on who wants to go where and when. For example, if there is one learning track that is so in-demand that a second track would suffer for lack of relative interest, we’ll just expand the room to accommodate everyone for the more popular session.
Take a moment to see what we have scheduled for you. The earlier you come the more likely you’ll have your first choices available and the more time you’ll have to network before the day’s programmed events start at 9:30AM.
Last we’ve extended the end-time to 5:30PM for those who want to stick it out to the very end and network, and you should!

Very few people have the years of recruiting experience, critical thinking or humanistic point-of-view that Don Ramer brings to the table.
And very few people have the needed appreciation for life on both sides of the recruiting fence to lead a track on a tricky subject that many recruiters and organizations routinely reject as bad behavior but which is invariably institutionalized in their recruiting process and practice.
Yep. It’s antisocial networking and its endemic, crippling performance and demoralizing potential hires. It is one of the root causes of high turnover and wage inflation.
For recruiters on the frontlines antisocial networking — most often in the form of slow response to canddiate needs [email, voicemail, status follow-up and so on], unclear communication, antipathy and so on — means compromising personal potential and professional standards.
Antisocial newtorking prolongs fill-times and increases cost-per-hire. It also limits the number of candidate referrals and network development. It perpetuates a negative perception of the organization and our recruiting profession in general. All round, it hurts.

Yahoo! HotJobs is not only supporting the Atlanta Recruiting Roadshow with financial support but they are also giving us two things even more precious.
Our friends on the west coast will be sending a couple of their talented folk to video the day’s events so that we have our gathering digitized for posterity and future ballyhoo. That’s precious. But topping it off they are sending Matt Martone to share the most precious thing of all: practical, get-the-job-done recruiting know-how.
As a widely respected voice in the online recruiting community Matt has established a growing reputation for pushing the envelope using social media for recruiting.
In a learning track titled REHAB: Recruitment blog strategies to Reach, Engage, Hire and Attract the Best Matt will work with participants to build a recruiting blog strategy and work to help you uncover unique assets that you may need in your ‘REHABilitation,’ detailing some recruiting blog strategies that you can start to put to work as soon as you like.
In addition to the recruitment blogging insights don’t miss the chance to pick Matt’s brains about social media marketing and optimization, search engine optimization and viral marketing too, weighing up both the pros and cons for each these approaches as part of an overall strategy.
