Jim Stroud learns about voicemail applications from Otis Collier and how they could be used to source passive candidates. Plus, Jim Stroud take a satirical look at the outsourcing “war” between India and China. (Hopefully it will not offend.)
In response to what was becoming an urgent need in the industry to have a conference that was focused on the art (some say science) of Sourcing and Talent Acquisition - SourceCon was born and launched in 2007. In today’s world where Talent is a key driver in successful businesses, there has been a trend towards the specialization of identifying and attracting candidates. This specialized skill is no longer a solely owned function of the full lifecycle recruiters in both Agency and Corporate Recruiting departments.
The Sourcer, Researcher, Name Generator and Candidate Developer have emerged as the new champions to help fight the war for talent. The industry has new hero’s who’s skills and expertise can no longer be confined to a side track at the national recruiting conferences.
We intentionally set out to be different from all the traditional conferences. We wanted a venue where you don’t have to feel like you are constantly being pitched and sold on a slide deck or discussion by the latest and greatest. It was and is our intent that you spend your quality time and money on a conference that is bursting with opportunities to learn, share and collaborate with your peers, luminaries and industry leaders.

Pearls of Wisdom from Ami Givertz and A Call Girl at Work
Ami Givertz dispenses pearls of recruiting wisdom while Vicky Boudouris demonstrates her patented phone sourcing technique. A big - Thank You to SourceCon (www.sourcecon1.com) for sponsoring this vidcast and my new friends over at FreeIQ.
Amitai is RCI’s Senior Vice President: Business Development. Since joining the team in 1999, Ami has had held a number of sales and marketing leads, playing a part in the development of new products, partnerships and market planning, cultivating new and existing business on the way.
Over the years, Ami has held a variety of management positions in both in the U.S. and in the U.K., where he graduated from his first “real” job with NYNEX (now Verizon). Ami believes that in a competitive environment most employers are faced with the same underlying problems and opportunities. What separates the leaders from the rest is how they manage that reality and adapt to change.
“I sometimes think there is a correlation between the way employers recruit and retain their best workers and the way they like to acquire the products and services that enable their doing that well. My job is to help them do both at the same time and with the least fuss possible.”
Vicky is a Search Consultant for a Fortune 500 company where she generates passive leads for various opportunities. Feel free to link to vicky at: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/0/794/744
