Supplier Summit: Building Alliances in the Recruiting Marketplace
My discussions with recruiters and other human resource professionals often include conversations about the increasing concentration of the recruiting industry due to the never ending list of acquisitions and alliances. While many of these acquisitions and alliances have led to better products and services at better prices for the clients, the reality is that some acquisitions and alliances have led to quality and pricing problems with formerly great products and services. If you share in these concerns, then you'll want to quickly sign up for the October 17, 2007 event that is sure provide tremendous value to its attendees. Only 100 seats are available and the event is almost sold out.
Two of the leading information providers to the recruiting industry, ERE Media and Interbiznet, have teamed up for the first annual Supplier Summit: Building Alliances in the Recruiting Marketplace. This full day interactive forum will be held in Washington, D.C. one day before the main session and exhibit hall of ERE Expo 2007 Fall opens. The Supplier Summit will feature a combination of critically important content and structured opportunities to develop alliances within the recruiting industry. Most of the attendees will be senior level representatives from job boards, advertising agencies, applicant tracking and talent management firms, enterprise software operations, staffing and search firms, and any other service provider to the electronic recruiting industry.
ERE CEO David Manaster and Interbiznet Founder John Sumser will cover the current state of the business and its likely the wild future. The day promises to be a practical problem-solving forum full of sessions led by leaders in our industry. I'm honored to have been invited to be one of the group leaders for the Structured Networking session led by David Saunders, Vice President of Quality for Arbor Education and Training. In our groups, we'll collaborate on the development of a short partnership specification. The goal of the session is to simultaneously create an experience of working together while building network relationships. Should be a great learning experience and a lot of fun.
