SourceCon is known for dynamic speakers and this year was no exception! As predicted, Gerry Crispin, Otis Collier and well… all the speakers in attendance rocked the house. Well, I suppose that was to be expected. I mean, who invites you to speak if you can’t deliver? Well, I want to shine some light on someone I think is an up and coming star – Michael Marlatt.
I don’t know how many speaking engagements Michael has had prior to SourceCon (not many as I understand it), but he presented himself as an old pro. The way he described and analyzed Cloud Computing and related it to Recruiting was funny, electrifying and an unexpected breath of fresh air. I heard rumors that Michael’s speech was going to pleasantly surprise me and it did! I hope Michael becomes a regular on the speakers circuit so that you can see him for yourself. (If you were not at SourceCon, you missed out – big time.)
Check out the online buzz Michael received during and after his presentation. Again, good stuff.

ABOUT MICHAEL MARLATT:
Michael Marlatt is a recruiting professional with 10+ years of full life-cycle experience, including expertise and passion around internet research & sourcing, training, and Web2.0 technologies. He is presently employed by Microsoft as a Recruiting Consultant and is primarily responsible for prospecting consulting talent for Microsoft’s U.S. Enterprise Services within the East Region.
Prior to joining Microsoft, Michael served in many recruiting lead roles for top-tier organizations such as Ernst & Young-LLP, Capgemini, Deloitte Consulting, and Amdocs Consulting. Michael’s diverse talents have allowed him to take on a variety of positions to include lead recruiter, sourcer, trainer, and mentor. As a former AIRS Certified Internet Recruiter, Michael has designed and delivered recruiting training for many of his previous employers. He has addressed a broad range of training topics, trends, and sourcing “best-practice” methodologies.
Michael started his recruiting career back in 1997 with a national agency out of Atlanta, GA. He remained within the agency environment for three years where he performed full life-cycle recruiting, as well as managed key accounts across multiple industries such as telecom, high-tech, retail, and consumer products. He quickly rose through the recruiting ranks and became a “top-producer”. By mid-2000, he was recruited by the former Cap Gemini Ernst & Young (now Capgemini) and remained there for close to four years. During that time, Michael held several national recruiting roles and was responsible for hiring ERP-(SAP, Oracle, & JDE), CRM-(Siebel & Clarify), and Telecom consultants.
Michael is very passionate about the evolution of Web2.0 technologies, particularly as it relates to “best-of-breed” social-bookmarking tools, the impact of social-networks, Lifestreaming Aggregators, Open Standards, Dataportability, as well as predictions around the emergence of Web3.0.
Michael currently resides in Atlanta, GA with his wife and 2.5 year old son.
