Branding
• Recruiters
are
the
number
one
front
line
brand
ambassadors
for
your
company.
• Candidates
look
up
Recruiters
via
LinkedIn
to
find
about
them.
How
do
you
want
their
profiles
to
represent
them
and
the
company?
• Take
aways:
– Introduce
a
LinkedIn
brand
standard
for
Recruiters
– Add
branding
elements
within
current
work
experience
90
91. Training
• Take
aways:
– Assess
the
skill
level
of
your
team.
– Develop
a
training
plan.
– Iden=fy
your
system
champions
and
ask
them
to
present
success
stories/
new
things
they
are
doing.
– Iden=fy
skill
gaps
and
use
training
to
bridge
the
gaps.
This
may
be
1:1
with
certain
individuals.
• Do
Recruiters
have
the
appropriate
skill
set
to
execute
your
strategy?
• Don’t
rely
on
a
self-‐service
approach.
Engage
vendors
to
work
with
your
Recruiters
to
build
their
skill
set.
e.g.
Boolean
search
training.
• The
more
confident
Recruiters
are,
the
more
comfortable
they
will
be
to
execute.
