Recruiting Top Talent in the Wake of a Tsunami

July 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Campbell, CA – There has been a real swell of competition for talent in 2012, which has brought a tsunami of new challenges and opportunities for employers. In response, the Bay Area Human Resource Executives Council (BAHREC) is hosting a staffing summit featuring a diverse and distinguished panel of San Francisco Bay Area and global staffing experts from a variety of high-tech, gaming, consumer electronics and life sciences organizations, as well as industry leaders in executive search and recruitment advertising.

The speakers selected to participate on this year’s panel have backgrounds that total over 105 years of experience in global business, talent acquisition, and recruiting tactics and strategies. The summit agenda will cover topics such as:

-How to best be prepared for the wave of hiring as companies come back from the financial meltdown of 2008/2009.

-Innovations other companies use to attract your own employees.

-Key strategies the experts have adopted that work.

-What can or should be done to stop playing musical chairs with top talent.

-Metrics and statistics on the global talent pool.

“I’m really looking forward to this upcoming BAHREC staffing summit, because BAHREC is a well respected organization, and these particular panelists are all experienced, hands on staffing experts that are actively engaged in changing the way employers connect with job seekers,” shared the summit’s MC, Andrew Gardiner, Business Development lead at recruitment marketing agency, CKR Interactive, and Founder of BAJobs.com.

“In other words, this will not be the ‘same old, same old.’  Rather, it’s going to provide real answers to tough questions.  The war for top talent is like a back alley fight these days, and the weapons of choice are constantly changing.  These particular panelists are all highly regarded black belts in their fields, so they know what works and what doesn’t.”

The summit will be held on July 18th at the Electronic Arts campus in Redwood Shores, CA. For more information regarding the summit and panel of speakers, or to register to attend, please visit: http://bahrec.shrm.org/events.
