There have been a lot of webinars led by talent acquisition experts from global organizations sitting on multimillion dollar recruitment budgets. But the reality is that most mid-sized companies are trying to actively recruit without a committed, robust budget – especially in 2021, when hiring has been fundamentally tied to business recovery. While the real-life challenges of hiring managers in mid-sized businesses may not be as exciting as Google’s talent acquisition conquests, most of us can relate with them far more.

There are tech hiring managers who can’t use agencies, but need to get hundreds of people hired in complicated tech roles before their Employer Brand Proposition even exists. There are generalist hiring managers trying to source roles they don’t understand, while fighting for budget to meet their targets. There are HR teams that simply don’t have the time to get into sourcing, but often feel they don’t have the choice. There are also HR teams that really want to build a relevant EVP, but don’t have marketing partner bandwidth.

The good news: you don’t have to spend a million dollars to get the talent you need. There are creative, innovative and much less expensive ways to make an impact in TA in your organization. Led by Jody Robie, this webinar will explore what talent leaders Brian Gilbert and Lisa Smith-Strother are doing without the big budget from a a recruitment leadership standpoint. Recruiting against budgets of varying size, recruiting with no brand, or no team – these two experienced industry veterans have been through it all, and will show what you can do to increase the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of your hiring process, on any budget, tackling challenges head-on. We’ll discuss:

  • How you can ensure you’re being efficient with the resources you do have, while using your hiring managers wisely.
  • When and why you should consider outsourcing – without having to go to overpriced agencies using outdated tactics.
  • Creative ways that you can make an impact in a crowded talent market, and also feel good about what you’re doing from a recruitment leadership standpoint.
