The Kennedy Recruiting Expo was great. Well coordinated, great speakers, and classy attendees. I’m happy with the experience — and I’m glad to have met so many like-minded recruiting bloggers and HR pros.
What did I learn about recruiting? Hmmmm…
I learned that
- cool branding efforts,
- design,
- technology,
- and lots of software applications
will help you find the candidate of your dreams.
I’m not sure if that’s recruiting, but what the hell do I know? I’m just in Human Resources.

It was great meeting you! Love the blog and look forward to seeing you in Vegas! BTW – I don’t think that ALL people want to buck the system, just a few of them…
Hey Sarah, we are totes BFFs and I will see you in Vegas.
I would love it if you gave some highlights of cool branding ideas, I’m thinking about that a lot lately (not sure why). I don’t have much in the way of experience in this area so do please share.
@MegBear OMG, you should have seen the Adidas presentation. I’ll see if I can get a copy of it (somehow?) for you. Brand = authentic and concise way of communicating your mission/vision/values to potential employees. The one downfall: potential candidates and employees see through the bullsh*t. You can’t use a flashy website and cool communication tools if your company is a sweatshop. I think lots of people want to “build a brand” before they build a culture.
yo, if you get your hands on the adidas presentation can i work for it? i’m pissed i missed the expo..
@Amanda Absolutely!
