Kaiser: Challenging Economy Requires New Recruitment Mindset.

Posted by Laura McPeck, Director of Total Quality, Business Development

NAS expert articulated strategies at AZ SHRM meeting.

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) September 11, 2009 – Hiring freezes… Budget cuts… Human Resources professionals are facing a wide range of unique demands in the current economy. At the recent Arizona SHRM State Conference in Phoenix, Matt Kaiser, NAS Recruitment Communications Vice President and Talent Strategist, suggested this is the time organizations should be proactive in attracting quality talent.

In an informative and interactive seminar entitled “The Time is Now: Best Practices for Recruiting in a Challenging Environment,” Kaiser provided insight into tactics companies can use to entice prime candidates to respond to their culture and opportunities.

“With the shift in the market, the recruitment landscape has grown increasingly more difficult, and leadership is questioning the need for new recruitment strategies,” he said. “Many organizations are hiding from candidates during these tough economic times, but right now is the ideal time to attract them.”

Kaiser went on to say, “Building brand identity and candidate relationships during slower economic times will position a company at the forefront of their industry in the minds of top talent. And when the economy does start to improve, that company will be far ahead of the competition in the war for talent.”

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) MARCH 05, 2009 – NAS Recruitment Communications announced today that Matt Kaiser, Vice President and Talent Strategist, will offer a thought-provoking seminar on understanding the recruitment process from the candidate’s point of view to the Denver Area Health Care Recruiters Association (http://www.dahcra.org/) on Tuesday, March 10, 2009.

Kaiser will present “Improving the Candidate Experience: Can You Put Yourself in Their Shoes?” a stimulating view of how an organization may be perceived by the people it hopes to attract and eventually hire. The program will address the meaning behind the candidate experience, how to measure it and how to effectively improve the experience to attract, engage and retain the best talent. Attendees will be given tools to help measure the candidate experience and identify strategies to enhance candidate touch points.

“The economy, new technology and changing demographics are among the factors affecting an A-level candidate’s decision on which organization to choose,” said Kaiser. “It’s important to look at the candidate experience and see your organization through their eyes. Understanding the thought processes of your talent target is no easy matter, but it is a critical component of successful recruiting efforts.”
