How to Tame Your Hiring Managers and Hire More Top People
Thursday August 27th, 2009
Despite enormous sourcing progress over the past few years, one could easily conclude that hiring managers have not gotten better in helping companies hire more top performers. In fact, some would contend that they have gotten worse. Most managers believe that hiring top people is easy and all of the best people are standing at your front door just waiting to apply. With this “candidates-a-plenty” attitude, and the mistaken belief that competency can be assessed quickly, good people are excluded before they apply and are often misjudged even if they do. To correct this problem we have created a course for the 500-pound gorillas in your room. You now have a chance to preview it with an option to bring your gorillas, but keep them chained and in tow. Specific topics presented at this “giving your hiring managers a dose of reality” webinar include: 1. What top performers think of your managers 2. How top performers look for new opportunities and what they’re looking for 3. How and why you must convert jobs into careers if you want to hire more top performers 4. How to use the One-question Interview to convince the best people that money doesn’t matter

Recruiting in 140 Characters or Less
Wednesday July 29th, 2009
The Web 2.0 world is causing many changes in the recruiting world, but there are some basics that every employer needs to pay attention to when it comes to making your jobs compatible. For one thing, the best people are looking for careers, not jobs. Equally important, with the onset of Search Engine Optimization, RSS feeds, Twitter, Facebook wall postings, and the future of SMS/text messaging, employers are faced with how these technologies can help or hurt recruiting efforts online. In this webcast, Lou Adler and Doug Berg will demonstrate how career offerings are impacted by these new technologies and some basic changes that will maximize how career opportunities are treated within these Web 2.0 channels. They will share principles on how to optimize job titles, how to focus on opportunities instead of skills, and what needs to be in the first 140 characters of a job description.

Sourcing 2010 and Beyond – A Retrospective
Thursday July 16th, 2009
The Star Fleet Academy Class of 2387 is preparing its first look at how sourcing was conducted 277 years ago. This was a project conceived to better understand human evolution and how careers were decided upon back then. What’s surprising is that personal choice and freedom still existed in those dark times. While inefficiency reigned, there was a huge movement to improve how information was obtained using behavioral targeting, search optimization, and search engine marketing techniques. Despite the need to input data through a keyboard, significant progress was observed after the great recession of 2008-2009. In this webinar you’ll discover how your ancestors found their career opportunities and why some of you are here today. Specific topics include: 1. Mapping your sourcing channels to the job-hunting life cycle of a top performer 2. Comparing the ROI of hiring the best vs. the rest 3. A cost-benefit analysis for hiring passive candidates 4. Three critical sourcing trends that emerged after the great recession

Paradigm Shifting Ideas and the New World Order of Sourcing
Thursday October 2nd, 2008
Consider this idea: top performers explore before applying. Do you let them? What about this: top performers are unprepared, don't have resumes and aren't the best interviewers? And making matters worse: top performers won't go to your career web site or some "name" job board first. After calling a few friends, they'll probably start at Google or SimplyHired.com to look for your jobs. To get a fresh take on this join Lou Adler and Doug Berg at this "high tech, high touch" examination of top performers. During this lively session Doug and Lou will take you on a journey starting with how and why they look and ending with how to find them using the latest Web 2.0 tools.

Developing a Forward-Looking Sourcing Strategy
Sponsored by Bounty Jobs
Wednesday August 27th, 2008
The best people, especially those just entering the job-hunting marketing, tend to open to explore career opportunities, rather than ready to accept any offer given. Unfortunately, too many companies rush to hire and clumsily eliminate the best without even thinking.

Developing deep networks is the first step in finding these candidates before anyone. In this fast-paced session Lou Adler will introduce you to the idea of job hunter typecasting and how it can help you develop a proactive and forward-looking sourcing strategy.

Recruiting in a Slower Economy
Tuesday July 22nd, 2008

Webinar and Reality Contest - How to Write Great Ads - Redux
Tuesday December 11th, 2007
If you participated in the October Outrageous Ad Contest webinar, you saw some great advertising ideas and learned some invaluable creative ad writing techniques. In response to the outrageous demand we saw for this outrageous ad writing contest, we've decided to do it again. On December 11th, the Adler Group will be hosting another webinar "How to Write Great Ads - Redux."
If you're not seeing enough top people from your advertising you'll need to change everything you're doing. You'll find out how in this interactive, myth-busting and hyperbolic webinar. There is a caveat - you need to read this article - The Anatomy of a Great Ad - and follow the rules as described. Basically this means you need to write an ad and try it out. The winner of the ad contest will receive a free admission to either Recruiter Boot Camp Online or to the LIVE Performance-based Hiring Tour. Even if you don't win the contest you're sure to find some great people in the process. At the webinar we'll announce the newest winner and describe what it takes to write ads that literally compel people to apply. Space is limited so you need to sign-up now. Those who submit an ad are guaranteed a seat. To enter the contest, submit your outrageous ad to Jennifer@adlerconcepts.com.

The Official Rules for Hiring Passive Candidates:
Using ZoomInfo to Create Instant Networks
Thursday November 8th, 2007
Hiring top performing passive candidates requires four big things:
- First, and foremost, a great job. Without a great job, there's no reason to call.
- Second, a great network or lead generating method to identify top performers.
- Third, a great hiring manager. Top people want to work with top managers.
- Fourth, a great recruiter. Top performing passive candidates can afford to be selective about who they work with.
If you've been to any of Lou Adler’s workshops you know he can convert average recruiters into great recruiters and so-so job descriptions into great career opportunities. But even Lou Adler needs a source for leads, and when he has a tough executive search he turns to ZoomInfo first. He'll show you how it's done in this no-holds barred audio conference. If you want to get more great leads, convert these leads into your best candidates and get two or three more great referrals on each call, you won’t want to miss this audio conference. As Lou says, if you want to make more placements in 2008 you need to learn how to maximize the potential of every name in ZoomInfo.

The Secrets of Less Active Sourcing - Finally Revealed
Wednesday August 23rd, 2006
85% of corporate recruiters use job boards as their primary (nearly exclusive) source for finding candidates for open requisitions. Response rates online are steadily declining and both Monster and CareerBuilder report a decreasing number of visits to their sites over the last two years. Most corporate recruiters leave the very best people untouched and don't fully leverage the capabilities of these vehicles to attract the best candidates. We call these candidates "Less Active" candidates and they use job boards and the internet fundamentally differently when looking for opportunities. In this call we'll discuss what corporate recruiting managers can do to help their recruiters more effectively target top candidates on the internet, position their advertising so it is visible not only on the job board where they posted it but also on Google and on the aggregator sites such as Indeed.com. We also discuss the anatomy of a great ad and some changes corporate recruiters can make today to immediately improve the quality of their online candidate pools.
