May 17, 2013, London, 76 Portland Place

This event has as its theme the need to prove the value you add. To achieve this we have a panel representing a cross-section of different company types and sizes debating everything from quality of hires to employer brand and candidate experience.

The recruitment landscape is changing rapidly as various trends converge. The modern recruitment department needs to:

• Reduce costs

• Prove you are adding value and thinking strategically

• Use new technologies such as mobile and social media to improve their processes and candidate attraction

• Help create and manage a employer brand and candidate proposition

• Deliver a great candidate experience

This event brings these issues together in an interactive, discussion-based half-day seminar that will give you not only an update on the latest trends, but also some great practical examples to take back to the office.
 
The speakers have been carefully hand-picked to ensure they deliver valuable content in a lively and engaging manner. Many of these speakers have spoken for us before and our average feedback score for our events is over 8 out of 10.
