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.
