This one-of-a-kind event features an incredible lineup of speakers and discussion topics. In fact, the conference agenda has the online recruitment industry buzzing. If you plan to attend only one recruitment conference this year, you'll want to make plans to attend this show now, while convenient accommodations are still available. And oh yeah. If you have been asleep in your hammock all summer, please don't tell us. We've been working to bring you the recruitment event of the year, www.onrec.com/expo2009. Hiring Heats Up Your organization may not be in hiring mode yet, but be advised: Your competition has either started recruiting or is making plans to add to staff. A June survey conducted by global consulting firm Watson Wyatt, which polled 179 leading employers, finds that hiring freezes will be reversed at a majority of companies (62 percent) that instituted them. How do you keep up with your competitors if you're just not there yet? Experts recommend assessing processes, tools, and technologies, and augmenting your operation as needed so you'll be ready for recovery. Network with colleagues from BASF, GE Healthcare, Reebok, Adobe, Motorola, Starwood, Yahoo!, Ameriprise, Walmart and hundreds of other recruiting professionals. How do you learn about what's new and network with recruiting's best and brightest? We'll give you a hint: Chicago. November. Be there. Questions about attending? Contact RD Whitney, rd@onrec.com.
