Recruiting Roadshow Unconference in Atlanta - Great Success
Ami Givertz deserves a huge slap on the back for a job very, very well done. He was the driving force and organizer of the second Recruiting Roadshow Unconference and did a masterful job by pulling together John Sumser and some other great speakers. The conference on Tuesday was attended by about 150 mostly corporate recruiter and human resource manager attendees.
I had the privilege of delivering the post-lunch keynote on how employers can and should use social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. It was interesting that the material was new to almost everyone in attendance. I've spent a lot of time thinking, writing, and speaking about these issues over the past year or two so it was great to be able to help those in attendance become aware of the issues and hopefully to help them understand that the sites are neither evil nor silver bullets but used wisely can become another arrow in their recruiting quiver.
