DETAILS:  When job boards came on the scene 10 years ago, they made accessing want ads much easier and soon began to overshadow print classifieds. Now Web 2.0 technologies are overshadowing job boards. Jobs2Web’s Talent Acquisition Summit will detail how Web 2.0 is changing the recruitment landscape and, through real-world case studies, how best to utilize the technologies to your company’s benefit. During the summit, Marvin Smith, director of Talent Communities, Microsoft, will present “New Trends in Talent Acquisition: Developing Talent Communities,” detailing how he guided Microsoft through the process of defining and deploying its talent community. He will discuss the tools and technologies utilized to launch the talent community; the multi-year phased approach toward building a talent community; the results that Microsoft has achieved to date; and what the long-range benefits of building your own community might be.

 

Tim Kutzer, manager, Talent Acquisition at Best Buy Co., Inc.,  will present “Best Buy's Career Site 2.0,” describing how, in six weeks, Jobs2Web helped Best Buy re-imagine its career site, making it Web 2.0 compatible. He will discuss what changes were made, including new searchable terms relevant to the job candidate and improvement to the user’s overall experience; how it enabled Best Buy to attract millions of direct job seekers and how Web 2.0 changes the entire interactive recruiting game for major employers.
