JCSI will be taking our social media staffing road show to New Hampshire next week. I’ll be speaking at the June MAHRA (Manchester Area HR Association) meeting on June 1 at The Derryfield in Manchester. If you are in the area, information about the event is on the association’s website at www.MAHRA.org. Pre-registration is $20 for MAHRA members and $30 for non-members
I hope to see you there.
JCSI will participate in the SHRM Staffing Conference again this year. This year, the event will be at the Disney Swan and Dolphin resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL on April 26-27. This is one of our favorite events of the year and we are looking forward to something special this year. Attendee pre-registrations are way up over where they were last year and the scheduled sessions cover some emerging technology practices this year.
To add to the conference, JCSI will be hosting another Social Media Strategy Workshop on the exhibit floor. This is highly-informative 20 minute session complements the topics covered during the conference sessions and provides participants with an action plan they can take back to their team.
JCSI is excited to be a part of the Social Media Plus conference in Philadelphia on May 25. I’ll be presenting “The Future of Recruiting is Social – Leveraging Social Media to Attract High Quality Candidates Faster and at a Lower Cost”. The presentation will review how digital media is changing recruitment best practices. I’ll discuss the ways social media tools are being applied to build a pipeline and move candidates through the interview process.
This is a unique event that is going to appeal to a lot of people. While most social media conferences target a specific audience segment, the 28 sessions in this show are aligned along four functional tracks – HR, IT, Sales & Marketing and Executives. This gives attendees an opportunity to dive deep in their area of expertise or they can see how the principles of social media are being applied across an organization. Since the best social media strategies are based on a “hub and spoke” model, executives can get what they need to develop the core principles of the company’s approach to social media. Each department (or business unit) can then apply the principles to communicate effectively with their audience segment – while being tightly aligned with each other.
I’m the first session at 9am right after the keynote. I hope you can make it. Registration information is available on their site at: www.socialmediaplus.com. Let me know if you are planning to attend bcavoli@jcsi.net.
You know that recruiting practices are changing but you may be asking about how to integrate these practices in your strategy. To help you make the case, JCSI is hosting a series of webinars to discuss the expertise recruiting departments need in 2010 and how they can help you recruit better candidates faster.
These will be brief sessions where we’ll review today’s recruitment landscape and the services JCSI can provide to help you grow your organization. Come with your questions because we’ll discuss the unique challenges you are facing within your staffing department. We hope you can join us.

Social Media Recruiting June 28 at 1:00 EDT
Social media is changing the face of recruiting. The wide array of social media tools are becoming more critical to success than traditional methods of recruitment advertising and prospecting. Join us to discuss how you can get started with popular social media sites to build your employment brand, recruit passive candidates and prepare for employee turnover.
By the way, if you are not convinced that things are changing, take a moment and look at our 8 Practices for 2010 eBook and the results from our recent survey of HR executives.

In my role at JCSI, I have the opportunity to engage with candidates in situations beyond the recruitment process. Very frequently I speak with people after it has been determined that they are no longer being considered for a particular position. At this point, with nothing else to lose and an urge to vent, some will take the opportunity to share their interview experiences with me. I have also served on recruiter panels at a local outplacement firm and attended many job seeker networking groups where war stories of the job market are in no short supply. Some tell me how each interview leaves them successively scarred. They know that they have to keep their spirits up, but eventually holding back at interviews is the only way they can protect themselves from the sting of rejection.

For a college student, entering a College Career Fair venue is like walking into a cafeteria. Both facilities are crammed with decisions, persuasion and the uncertainty of what to choose or where to turn next. Sure, students have to do some impressing, but at College Career Fairs, companies are the ones who possess the task of attracting top talent. Students and representatives from companies both play eminent roles in the career fair game. Students have to take off their sweats, conjure up a resume and bring their A-game to prove they are worth a closer look. Companies on the other hand need to stand out amongst a crowd and portray themselves as the entrée students wait in line for.
JCSI is excited to be presenting a social media staffing seminar for the New England Human Resources Association (NEHRA) on September 29. The event, “The Future of Recruiting is Social – How Social Media is Changing Recruiting” will show companies how to develop a social media recruiting strategy for their business.
