I spent a good part of yesterday "virtually" attending the Social Recruiting Conference. A conference that actually eats it's own dog food in the sense that being all about social media it makes effective use of social media tools to reach out beyond the audience of people able to attend the conference in person. A really well organised event from what I could see on the streaming video, kudos to Social Recruiter of Crexia and to Alan Whitford of RCEuro. The main takeaways from the presentations I saw was "finally" some case studies about the ROI of using social media in recruitment....
(1) 65% of EA Games hires globally come through Social Media
(2) SAB MIller has saved between £1.2-£1.8m through direct sourcing with social media
(3) At Deloitte NL, 3 people hired directly via Twitter in one year and 18 via Linkedin. Aim to be first organisation in Netherlands to kill use of job boards.
I didn't make it all the way through till the end of the day; so I am sad that I didn't get to see Bill Boorman on the closing panel but I understand there is a boxset of CD's being made available for purchase sometime soon. I'm pretty sure details will be available at the RCEuro website (www.rceuro.com). I'm looking forward to reading some of the blog output from today too.
