Two of three breakout sessions down and sitting in the third and final one for the day.
So far this year's quest for knowledge has taken me to "On-boarding New Hires Effectively" and "Understanding Reality Bytes". The first on the components of a successful process of bring on new hires, whether interns, co-op students, or permanent employees. Robust content covering the full range of the experience for new hires. Next was a look at one school's work on recruiting and deploying student bloggers for driving up student awareness of services and career related issues. Solid introductory content in that.
And now I'm in "Strategically Assessing the College Recruiting Function". This session comes out of a NACE committee's work this year. Case studies on streamlined tools for, well, assessing college recruiting processes.
Two of my three choices have been employer-side, an unusual choice for a college-side member. Then again, if I'm here to connect with employers, what a great place to find them. Plus it gives me a better idea of their world, their concerns, and their language. This makes it easier to relate to and serve them.
While process focused, this last session has a strong strategic element in the background and integrated into the answers of the Q&A. Members looking for a peek at the tool can find it at naceweb.
Forums@4 is next up with 8-10 topics set.
