"Where's the talent?"
How social networks and tools
have transformed the hiring process and people management.
The mass of motivated hopefuls
out there using Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and a host of less
ubiquitous platforms to promote themselves and connect with
potential employers don't feel the need to label what they're
doing as social media recruitment. They simply know that it works.
And managers are recognising that the traditional recruitment
agency model is broken and the quality and cost-effectiveness of
the hires they make through social sources is much better for
business. So can they catch up with the best talent and make the
most of how people present themselves online? And is there also a
flip side to social recruiting that means users are scared of
expressing themselves in a
truly personal way just in case a
prospective employer might find out, and what about the prospect
of your boss constantly looking over your social online profile
shoulder? In this event we will look at the rise of social
recruitment and the opportunities it gives job seekers and
recruiters as well as the challenges and issues everybody needs to
be aware of when using social to find either a job or an employee.
Registration will start at 18:30
The event is scheduled to finish at around 8:15, followed by
networking and drinks

Marc Mapes, Director, HireMatch.Me
Marc Mapes is an American living in
London launching a startup online recruitment alternative,
HireMatch.me. He has over 20 years of experience in the
marketing communications field. After spending a year
searching for a job using every available job search method, he
decided to stop complaining about the lack of a candidate
focused recruitment option and set out to do something about it.
Together with his business partner, OraRuth Rother, and
their team they have developed www.hirematch.me which is currently
in public beta. Online match-making websites offer to find you
the partner of your dreams; the compatible one with the right
personality for a long term relationship. Their employment
match-making system does the same thing with jobs and
jobseekers. Except, instead of finding you the partner of your
dreams, HireMatch finds you your dream job (or candidate)
using, in part, the science of assessment. The result is a fit
determined by more than words on paper. This extra
dimension matching method decreases subjectivity and human
bias whilst increasing the odds of a long term work
relationship for both parties.
