The second Milwaukee JobCamp is just around the corner and it promises to be bigger and better (twice as big, twice as good) as the last one. On July 9th, we'll have a great number of job seekers, entrepreneurs, and, yes, hiring professionals coming through the door. The event is paid for through the kind contributions of employers who sponsor us in exchange for an opportunity to provide quality information to the community, perhaps identify some talent for their organizations, and position themselves as employers of choice via our many advertising, promotional, and event-based opportunities. Heck, sponsors will even get a filmed interview in front of a live studio audience about why their organization is a wonderful place to work.
As an individual recruiter or hiring professional, though, you may wonder just how to go about signing up for the event if your company is not sponsoring. Let me suggest a couple of courses.
First, if you're an independent, a third party recruiter, or a corporate recruiter and you're not a sponsor, then you have two options. A) You can attend and make a donation of $50 payable to GoIndigo, LLC, the event management company behind JobCamp; or B) You can volunteer a chunk of your time at the JobCamp as a resume advisor, an interviewer or in another volunteer role. That's the beauty of JobCamps being based on the BarCamp model. Contribution is at the heart of the success of events like this.
Second, if you are a recruiter who is out of work, we'd still love it if you could volunteer. It looks good on a resume and shows that you're involved in the community. But since you're in transition yourself, we're not charging. Just like any other job seeker, please bring along a non-perishable food item that we'll contribute to the Hunger Task force.
