OnRec 2007
David Hurst and the rest of the OnRec crew runs a fine recruiting conference. Their first effort on this side of the pond was in Chicago a few months ago and was truly fantastic. Incredibly high level of discussion, even when I presented about how to use and how not to use social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook for recruiting purposes. One of the great bonuses of that conferences was that it was held in the same location one day after the first meeting of the International Association of Employment Web Sites (IAEWS), a great organization headed by Peter Weddle. Job board owners and employees such as me were able to attend both. HR professionals just attended OnRec.
Well, great news. David and Peter are teaming up again. The next IAEWS conference will be held September 17, 2007 in San Francisco and OnRec will be in the same location on September 18th and 19th. I'll be speaking about college recruiting. Given what we do over here for a living, it shouldn't be too hard for me to fill the allotted half hour.
Excited? Me too. It should be awesome.
Possible correction. I just learned that the IAEWS conference organizers have not yet decided whether to hold the IAEWS conference in conjunction with OnRec. IAEWS is still deciding which recruiting conference to work with. OnRec is one of those. My error in the blog entry was due to inaccurate information on OnRec's web site which was likely accidentally posted and will probably be corrected very quickly.
