Technologically & Title-y Challenged

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Rachele and I attended the OnRec Recruiting Conference in Chicago this week and had a great time.  We learned quite a bit….mainly that we need to become more technologically mobile to keep up with the Millennials and/or Echo Boomers!  In light of that I discovered the mobile app for Twitter and Facebook   for my Blackberry during the conference. We didn’t realize we were so technologically out of touch until we were in a room filled with hundreds of tweeting people!

We also learned our “Recruiter” titles are outdated and have been replaced with snappy titles such as “Talent Acquisition” and “Talent Strategist”. I’m game so now it’s a matter of getting Mr. Murphy on-board with the change!

All in all we are planning to implement some great ideas we came up with this week.  Stay tuned!
