I am pleased to announce that our Social Media in Recruitment Conference and our Mobile Recruitment Conference will take place in London on the 11th July 2013.
With Social Media and Mobile being so closely aligned today, we will be running both conferences together at the same venue, together with a new format.
Our confirmed speakers so far include Matthew Jeffery – Head of Global Talent Acquisition Strategy & Innovation at SAP and Bill Boorman, founder and disorganiser at #tru conferences.
New Format
The morning will be a joint conference with a mixture of Social Media and Mobile speakers, together with case studies and best practices. In the afternoon there will be separate Social Media and Mobile Master Class sessions, with the latest advice and practical tips to help recruiters get the most from using Social Media and Mobile.
Social Media
Facebook spoke at our first Social Media conference in July 2009 and they proudly announced that they had just reached 250 million users (they now have more than 1 billion users!). If you add to that the fact that social media offerings like Google + and Pinterest didn’t even exist in 2009 then you can see just how quickly things have changed.
Mobile
Mobile usage has also grown significantly since our first Mobile Conference in 2010. With 8 out of 10 phones now sold in the UK being smartphones it should be no surprise to recruiters that so many job seekers are now expecting to be able to search and apply for a job using their mobile device.
Social Media & Mobile Expo Area
Delegates will have access to a dedicated expo area during the day where they can talk to suppliers and watch demonstrations of various social media and mobile related products and services. (Any company interested in being part of the expo area should contact Mike Taylor for the latest stand availability.)
