Description
Setting up a Facebook recruiting page can be an overwhelming and daunting task but that should not stop you from harnessing the power of Facebook to recruit top talent!


As the "baby boomers" retire and the millennials and soon to be digital natives back-fill jobs; employers, recruiters and human resource professionals need to know how to make Facebook work for recruitment purposes and for sourcing quality talent.

Knowing how to recruit quality talent on Facebook will literally put you ahead of your competition.

THIS HIGHLY INTERACTIVE HALF-DAY SOCIAL RECRUITMENT WORKSHOP IS FOR ANYONE WHO IS OPEN TO DISRUPTIVE THINKING THAT WILL FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT RECRUITING.

In this half-day workshop we discuss & share:

  • The exact content marketing strategy that Shahid used to create the “City of Edmonton Jobs” Facebook page, which won “Thomas H. Muehlenbeck Award for Excellence in Local Government” from Alliance for Innovation competing with over 100 municipalities
  • from across North America
  • Information on how to get buy-in from management for leveraging Facebook as a viable applicant source
