“Kennedy is always a great conference,” said Cheesman. “This will be the first time I’ve discussed mobile recruiting with their audience, so I’m very excited to see how the session goes and how well it’s attended.”

The Kennedy Information Conference has also partnered with up-and-comer RecruitFest, an affiliation to Recruiting Blogs, which Cheesman will also be presenting. “Jason Davis (RecruitFest) has done a fantastic job building brand equity in the recruiting space, and I’m happy to be a part of it.”

“I don’t believe that companies are reacting fast enough to maintain their competitive position given fundamental labor market changes now taking place,” says Adler. These changes, and what companies can do to address them, are the subject of The Adler Group’s 2008 Live Tour to be held in four cities around the US. During the full-day workshops Lou Adler will present “The Official Rules for Hiring Top Talent.”

The first live event is March 6 in Orlando, Florida, followed by Washington D.C. on May 8, Chicago, IL on September 10, and Los Angeles on November 13. “The event is aimed at recruiting managers and HR leaders who want to increase quality of hire and reduce turnover. The tremendous success of our 2007 Performance-based Hiring Tour gave us valuable insight into the current challenges faced by organizations as they grapple with talent shortages,” says Kathy Barton, Senior Vice President of Marketing for The Adler Group.

The workshops will include segments on using Performance-based Hiring to source more and better candidates, the two best interviewing questions of all time, and how to partner with hiring managers. Additionally, Lou Adler will be presenting his greatest closing secrets and introducing attendees to best practices and resources that will give them the tools to hire the best talent in 2008.

“Just like sports or any business process, hiring top talent requires a set of rules. I’m looking forward to sharing my rules for hiring top talent with hundreds of HR professionals during our live tour in 2008,” says Lou Adler.
