Perception vs. Reality – Do You Really Know What You Are Looking For?

June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Stephen A. Lowisz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Qualigence Inc., will be speaking at the onrec.com Online Recruitment Conference & Expo 2010, to be held at the Donald E Stephens Convention Center, in Chicago from September 14-16, 2010.

With years of experience Stephen can tell you that in order to effectively find the right talent Hiring Managers and Recruiters need to work together to  uncover the reality of what your organization is looking for, in opposition to what talent there is to recruit. Stephen will outline what is needed to develop a true recruiting strategy, providing a great opportunity for those who attend onrec Expo 2010, in which there will be over 30 expert speakers presenting. Stephen will be discussing: Perception vs. Reality – Do you Really Know what you are Looking for?

onrec Expo 2010 provides a thriving network exposition hall packed with the latest tools and services to help your organization hire the best, and is highly regarded as the “must attend” recruitment event of 2010 where corporate recruiting practitioners and thought leaders will educate hundreds of attendees with cutting edge training (HRCI Credit pending) on innovative sourcing, screening and recruiting techniques and technologies.
onrec Expo 2010 will bring together global delegates and exhibitors involved in recruitment to share their common interests, provide a business driven networking environment, and stimulate discussions, debates, and beneficial partnerships.

Session Description:

For the most part, you probably feel confident that you are looking for the right talent…until you talk to the Hiring Manager and discover that you aren’t. Now you have to start over; refine the job description, modify your search criteria, and even dismiss candidates already in process. Unfortunately, this equates to a lot of wasted time and effort - and is a typical problem for many. Your perception and the Hiring Manager’s reality are completely different.

Because you are more engaged with the talent and clearly understand their expertise, you know that what the Hiring Manager is asking for isn’t going to deliver the ultimate professionals who can do the job well. You are now obligated to educate the Hiring Manager to make them understand the talent requirements more clearly. You need to make your case with facts that reflect the ultimate goal of gaining a professional that is going to do the job successfully!

This presentation will…

• Educate you on how to identify and eliminate inconsistencies before the search process begins
• Show you how to educate your Hiring Manager about the perceptions of what he is looking for vs. the realities of what the talent will deliver
• Provide communication solutions to ensure that you and the Hiring Manger are “on the same page” before you start the recruiting process
• Give you additional confidence to present your facts clearly to the Hiring Manager, resulting in an agreement as well as additional respect

Not only will Stephen be speaking on the perception of talent needs, he will also be participating in the Crowd-Sourcing session on Recruiting with Steven Rothberg. For more information visit: http://www.Onrec.com/conferenceusa/pages/session_descript...
