First ever Social Recruiting Summit to be held on June 15th at Google’s Headquarters

April 4, 2009 by Michael Marlatt · 1 Comment 

As Social Media continues to influence and impact our lives, it is important for us to understand how to separate the hype from reality. This year, ERE is launching the “first-of-its-kind” Social Recruiting Summit which will be hosted by Susan Burns. The event will focus on exploring REAL “social recruiting” tactics and strategies that are already in the field and working, not pie-in-the-sky ideas.

Who are the Presenters?

The upcoming summit is packed with many key speakers to include Fistful of Talent’s Kris Dunn, JobMachine’s Shally Steckerl, and PunkRockHR’s Laurie Ruettimann (just to name a few).

In addition, I am also very happy to announce that I will be co-presenting with Chris Hoyt, A.K.A. RecruiterGuy, on a topic I have frequently covered on this site: Mobile Marketing and Recruiting. Unlike other demos in the past, this upcoming session will be highly interactive. Participants will be taken through a live mobile “opt-in” campaign to experience first-hand how SMS is used to help build and engage a target audience. Whether you plan to attend this event live, or watch remotely, make sure to have your mobile device handy!

During a presentation at ERE Expo by Recruiting Consultant Michael Marlatt called, “The Future of Recruiting is in the Cloud,” a new term was introduced into the conversation.

Marlatt brought up a new breed of media consumers called “media snackers,” or people who have been bombarded with media tools like social networks, microblogs, and media aggregators, and then acquire “Web 2.0 Attention Deficit Disorder.”

“We’re so overwhelmed, we don’t take the time anymore to read blogs like we did three years ago,” Marlatt said. “Anyone who actually blogs can look at their analytics and see the level of traffic vs. a year ago. The attention span of most users is waning. People are consuming information in small bits and choose how they want it when they want it. It’s about micromedia, not social media.”
