Highlights

Every day, direct hire and executive search firms and industry solution providers across the country are making successful placements with their clients. Often, however, agencies struggle with sourcing, recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and training their own internal staff.

In this webinar, two industry veterans will share their experiences in recruiting, hiring, and retaining teams. John Thomas of Specialized Recruiting Group and John Ruffini of HealthTrust Workforce Solutions will share lessons they’ve learned along the way and discuss how a successful proactive internal recruiting program can help your agency find and retain the right talent for your team.

The first webinar in the series will focus on hiring and onboarding recruiters who are focused more or all on recruiting candidates. The second webinar in the series will focus on hiring and onboarding salespeople focused mostly or entirely on business development and client maintenance.

• What sources are best for recruiting top talent for the staffing industry
• Which professional backgrounds lend themselves to success
• Effective interviewing and hiring techniques
• Onboarding practices for a new hire’s first 90 days
