Atlanta Recruiting Roadshow Recap

Where else do you get a day of free professional development content, a free lunch and the opportunity to mix it up with colleagues in your town? The idea behind the roadshow is that the vast majority of the professionals in our industry can't go to trade shows for one simple reason. The cost is prohibitive.

Less than 1% of the industry are able to attend a national trade show in any given year. That's why the Roadshows are free and local.

Atlanta was made possible by strategic sponsorship grants from

• RCI (Recruitment Solutions)
• Arbita
• The Empower Network
• Yahoo (Hot Jobs)
• Diversity.com
• JobFox
• The Fordyce Letter

We had an amazing spectrum of presenters including

• Steven Rothberg on using Social Networks for Recruiting
• Shally Steckrel on The Sourcing Guru's Guide to Leveraging LinkedIn
• Matt Martone's REHAB
• Alan Lee on Workforce Planning
• Abigail Tremble on Recruiting as Master Problem Solvers
• Don Ramer on Antisocial Networking
• Rob McGovern on What Candidates Want: The New Rules of Engagement with Today's Top Professionals
• John Sumser on Intergenerational Recruiting

Most of all, however, it was the audience on their own turf. Like all of the major cities in North America, Atlanta has its own unique culture. It's level of racial and ethnic integration rivals Canadian cities. The local emphasis on manners is comfortably strict. The humidity last week was overpowering (the locals were comfortable, the out-of-towners were sweating in the heat.) The city is cosmopolitan and intensely local at the same time.

Hearty thanks to the 85 folks who sacrificed a workday to see what we were up to. As the day closed I spoke with many. Everyone left with a smile.

We're ramping up to take the roadshows national in 2008.
