Approximately 92% of U.S. citizens use the internet, with more than 90% engaged on at least one social media platform. And those users, on average, spend nearly 7 hours a day in front of a screen that is connected to the internet.

We all like a good story. Job seekers are no different. But many companies fail to share the “story” of their workplace, thus failing to connect with candidates who may be a great fit for their team.

Candidates are looking for more than just competitive pay. Strong culture and “fit” are often cited as things people look for in a potential employer. “The Importance of Storytelling in Hiring” will show how companies can gain an edge in the hiring process by bringing their workplace to life through stories.

In this session, participants will:

• Learn how to use storytelling in the hiring process
• Understand how to tell a great story and on what platforms
• Examine examples of companies and organizations telling great stories

A marketing plan is like a roadmap. It provides a clear path for teams to meet their company goals and helps them navigate the many tasks needed for successful marketing initiatives.

Effective marketing plans require a defined strategy, measurable goals and a structured plan for implementation. Our “Creating Your Marketing Plan for Hiring” session will include a mix of instruction and time to “work” on a hiring marketing plan.

In this session, participants will:

• Learn the components of an effective hiring plan
• Understand the importance of setting measurable goals for hiring
• Participate in a hands-on exercise to start building a company plan

“Measure what matters” is a popular saying in business. But when it comes to the sea of digital and traditional marketing performance metrics, it is difficult to know what to measure and how that data determines success.

In this session, participants will:

• Get an overview of key digital and traditional metrics and what they mean
• Learn how to use these metrics to measure campaign success
