NOVATO, Calif. (March 15, 2011) — Most executives have some contact with executive recruiters, but they really don’t know how to leverage those relationships to their advantage. Executives need to stand out from the crowd when they contact recruiters; a task that has been complicated by the social media boom. In the next Experts Connection (http://www.experts-connection.com/business.aspx) webinar, executive recruiter and certified social media strategist Nicola James will host a session on “Working Effectively with Retained Recruiters NOW In a Tight Job Market Complicated by Social Media.” The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, March 28, from 4:00 to 5:30 ET (1:00 to 2:30 PT) and is sponsored by NETSHARE® (http://www.netshare.com).
In today’s job market, there are too many executives pursuing too few jobs, and the growing impact of social media has made job search more complicated than ever. Strategies to work effectively with executive recruiters are different than they were a few years ago. In this webinar, Nicola James will provide insights into how recruiters work today, including how recruiters qualify candidates, and how they influence decision-makers. This webinar will show you how to position yourself with retained recruiters for maximum advantage.
This teleseminar is ideal for anyone currently contemplating a career change, and will include a discussion of:
– How the retained search model works and why that model matters to you.
