AIRS Unveils Strategic Talent Acquisition Summer Workshop Series
New Training Helps Recruiters Move From Order-Takers To Strategic Partners
Wilder, VT - AIRS, the global leader in advanced sourcing solutions for talent acquisition professionals, announces a new Strategic Talent Acquisition workshop series that will be offered this summer in cities across the country, including: Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, New York, Washington DC, Charlotte, Seattle, Dallas and Boston. Strategic Talent Acquisition is a one-day workshop for experienced corporate recruiting professionals and front line managers with two-plus years of experience based on the Harvard Business School case study model.
Completely unlike any other HR or recruiter training on the market, AIRS Strategic Talent Acquisition offers seasoned talent acquisition professionals a way to examine their own strengths and weaknesses, interact in a collegial and supportive environment, and most importantly learn what they need to do to take their personal performance to the next level. Expertly developed and facilitated by AIRS Master Trainers, the workshop is guaranteed to unlock the real potential of recruiting managers and teams.
"Many organizations are facing a severe shortage of qualified candidates to fill critical positions - positions important to their growth and competitiveness in their markets," said Christian K. Forman, CEO of AIRS. "AIRS Strategic Talent Acquisition is designed to help recruiters be in the boardroom with the decision makers as strategic partners in competitively sourcing and networking to find and hire the highly-qualified candidates crucial to continued expansion and profitability of their company."
The Strategic Talent Acquisition workshop is a highly interactive course that allows participants to learn both from AIRS proven sourcing strategies and one another's real-life recruiting experience. It incorporates scores of interviews, case studies and original research culled from the top recruiting experts from companies such as Wachovia and Microsoft that consistently deliver highly skilled candidates.
Participants learn techniques that move them beyond newspapers, job boards, and applicant tracking systems and into proactive recruitment processes that produce top-flight candidates and build ever-expanding networks of potential prospects, reducing time-to-hire substantially, but increasing candidate quality.
Key learning outcomes for the Strategic Talent Acquisition include:
- How to effectively fill 40 to 50 open reqs while lowering time and cost to hire.
- Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different sourcing techniques.
- Being more proactive than reactive by mastering the critical recruiting competencies through planning and communication.
- Ensuring that your recruiting activities are aligned with company strategy.
- Developing best practices for working with demanding and busy hiring managers and recruiting team members.
- Identifying and discussing the recruiting skills, competencies, performance and personality traits that every great recruiter must have.
- Analyzing the strategic and tactical strengths and weaknesses of a recruiting team and providing plans for measuring performance for future success.
"Human capital is beyond a doubt the cornerstone of every successful business today," said Forman. "The ability to find and hire the best is an art that the top search professionals do so well, and that corporate recruiters need to learn in order to keep their organizations progressive and competitive."
Strategic Talent Acquisition workshops begin in Los Angeles, June 7th. For more information about this and other AIRS training and certification workshops, visit http://www.airsdirectory.com/training/.
