LinkedIn’s Steve Cadigan will welcome attendees to their headquarters and to the event.

Conference Chair Richard Cho kicks off the Recruiting Innovation Summit and sets the stage for a full day of learning and collaboration.

The engineers who become CEO do so because they’re artists of technology. The marketers because they’re sculptors of identity. The finance guys because they’re maestros of money, conductors of cash. Recruiting leads when they are Curators of people, creating outstanding business performances.

Sure, we’re charged with finding the superstars—every element within an organization ideally kicks ass. But it’s how we assemble those components that makes the difference: we should strive to create organizations in harmony, where everyone is allowed to show their creativity, be themselves, feel confident and motivated. We should strive to challenge people, though in a way that enthuses, excites, and provides an intense sense of joy and purpose.

What we do is art. And when we assemble the right elements—each of them critically important—in the right way, we reveal new truths for ourselves, and our companies.

The world’s most successful companies are reflections of our deepest insights and greatest potential. And those compositions, those experiences, are not accidental. And the performance that follows is a direct outcome of the Curator’s role.

Grab a quick refreshing beverage and ask your fellow attendees about the fabulous keynote session or find out what everyone else is looking forward to later in the day.

When it comes to innovation in the talent acquisition space, most talks center on big picture strategy development for social and mobile focusing on topics such as online employer reputation, social candidate sourcing, conversation dynamics, and text communications – but there is a huge unmet need in the market for brass tacks social/mobile tools that get beyond the conversation.

The fact that so much company data and content already exists on the web and in places like ATS systems, combined with all of the “resume-type” data that already exists online about potential candidates and potential referrals within their social graph, opens up a world of possibility for smarter, personalized, and instantly more relevant digital talent acquisition solutions. During this session we won’t simply talk blue sky concepts dreamed up in our Innovation LabHDx, we will dig into live examples and prototype demos, and see results from real companies leveraging social data in innovative ways.  You will walk away energized with ideas and specific tools to apply business-driven innovation to your social recruiting strategy.

With today’s stiff competition to hire the top talent from campus, students can have a difficult time differentiating your brand and value proposition from your competitors. You may have a strong on-campus presence but are still struggling to attract the best or to identify talent early in their college years. How can social media make a difference with your on-campus efforts? How can it help differentiate your brand and give you a competitive advantage?

Hear how Ernst & Young, an early adopter of social media, used it to create a competitive advantage with college students and continues to assess the ever-emerging new tools.

Recruiting technology is evolving so rapidly, it is hard to keep up. Every time we turn around, there is a shiny new tool beckoning our attention. But what technology is really worth investing time and money on? In this session, Constellation Research’s Amy Wilson will provide a refreshing and independent view of emerging recruiting tools in the market today. Three tools will be highlighted that provide the kind of real, practical value you’re looking for.

Bring your opinions and prepare for a lively discussion!

Mobile check-in services are all the rage in marketing. Recruiting can benefit from these “geo-social” mobile applications as well. Job posting, recruiting, and employment branding can all be done with location-based mobile services. Recruiting industry veteran, Craig Fisher (@fishdogs), demonstrates innovative ways to use proximity mobile apps such as Foursquare, Gowalla, and Facebook Places to find and attract talent, and build employer brand awareness. He’ll suggest some best practices for your recruiting team and employees, and how to incorporate these tools into your social recruitment strategy.

Enjoy refreshments while mingling and discussing the earlier sessions with fellow attendees.

Like many trends before it, Recruiting has jumped on the social media bandwagon. According to NetPropsex’s 2010 Social Media Report, HR and Recruiting ranks 6th out of 50 in social media use by industry.  Sounds good, but where’s the social?  In the process of getting social, recruiting is trending more towards talk then collaborate.  We’re creating communities, but only hearing ourselves speak. We’re socializing sourcing, but not the rest of the process. Is it even possible to make recruiting truly social? Come discuss the real state of social recruiting and prove us wrong. Or not.

Join Conference Chair Richard Cho as he wraps up the conference. He’ll encourage the audience to share great takeaways and feedback for the event. This session is often ranked amongst the highest – you don’t want to miss what your colleagues take away from the Recruiting Innovation Summit!
