Best Practices in Recruiting UnConference! Tuesday, July 8th

Every year, WISPRR holds a summer event that draws recruiting professionals from across southeastern Wisconsin to discuss trends in recruiting as well as best practices and tools current to the recruiting profession. Join us for a two-hour, whirlwind UnConference on Tuesday, July 8th, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event will be held at the Jobing.com Wisconsin headquarters, 2514 S. 102nd Street, West Allis, WI 53227.

You will get the chance to engage with thought leaders in recruiting and bring fresh ideas back to your daily hiring practices in your company.

What is an UnConference?

An UnConference is an less conventional approach to conferences with high admission costs and highly paid "name" speakers. UnConferences are more relaxed events designed to create an atmosphere of collaborative learning and the free exchange of ideas.

For the Best Practices in Recruiting 2008 UnConference, the event will be structured around the principle of active participation of all attendees. What does that mean? Well, you're expected to get involved in as many discussions as possible both during and after the event. When the UnConference is over, you're encouraged to put up blog entries, pictures, and more thoughts about the event and its impact so that the WISPRR membership can share and benefit from your ideas.

What will I get out of the event?

As a result of attending, you will get the opportunity to learn and share the best approaches to recruiting available in the marketplace today, such as:

• Working with hiring managers effectively
• Unconventional approaches to finding candidates
• Next generation interviewing and selection approaches
• The latest tools of the trade
  

The event also serves as an excellent place to network and establish new connections with other recruiters for future joint projects!

What will I need to bring to the event?

Just yourself. Of course, you can bring along a laptop, camera, or anything else you think might help while you're there, but this isn't going to be a session where you'll sit in one chair and absorb information the whole time. There will be white boards, markers, flip charts and separate seating areas for different discussion areas.
