Bullhorn, the global leader in On Demand, front office staffing and recruiting software, today announced that Bullhorn Live 2009, to be held February 1-5, 2009, at the Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa in Las Vegas, will feature a comprehensive sourcing track with five new sessions designed to help recruiters and staffing professionals drive billings with new techniques, best practices and tips for making faster placements. The Bullhorn Live 2009 Sourcing track sessions will provide attendees with valuable knowledge, sourcing tips and tricks and technology best practices for social networks, job boards and more. More information and details on registering for the conference are available online at www.bullhornlive.com.

“The sourcing track is new this year and reflects an increased interest in using technology such as social networks and job boards for competitive advantage in the race to source and place candidates,” said Joe Cordo, vice president of marketing at Bullhorn. “Bullhorn is continually delivering technology innovations to make sourcing candidates faster, more seamless and more effective for staffing and recruiting professionals. The sourcing sessions at Bullhorn Live will offer best practices and tips for maximizing our customers’ investments in Bullhorn and our partners’ solutions.”

The Sourcing Track at Bullhorn Live 2009 will include the following sessions:

Understand Job Seeker Tendencies to Effectively Source
Knowledge is power. The more we know about job seekers, the better we can adjust our sourcing techniques to get the best people and ultimately place them. Discover information from the world’s leading resource of job seeker and employer data. In this session you’ll learn the tendencies of job seekers and how to think about these when putting together search criteria to catch ALL of the most relevant candidates. You will walk away armed with the knowledge (and ultimately the power) to find and win over the best people and make the placement!
Effective Sourcing in a Down Economy
In today's economic climate, it's not about getting the candidate, but getting the right candidate. This session will outline methods that you can use to find the best fit for your clients in a more effective and efficient way. We'll explore innovative ways clients are using technology to get in front of a more targeted audience, including case studies with solutions and results. This information will help you build your pipeline to propel your business forward now and when the economy rebounds.
Double Your Billings in 2009: Add a Dedicated Researcher
Due to the uncertain economy, companies are revamping their business strategies and trying new things to get ahead of the competition. One proven concept that has helped double the billings of various companies is adding a dedicated researcher. In this session, you’ll discover how to assess your organization’s readiness for adding a dedicated researcher and the options for adding a research function. Learn how to best utilize this position inside, offsite, offshore and near shore, the many benefits you’ll gain and how to measure their success within your organization.
New Sourcing Techniques for Full Cycle Recruiters
A seemingly unlimited number of tools are available to assist recruiters in building their pipeline of talented candidates. Given that most recruiters don't have the luxury of a dedicated sourcing team, staying current on which tools and techniques yield the most benefit is a daunting task. This session will broadly cover the tools currently available, the most recent techniques to maximize their effectiveness and offer tips on how to stay current with new techniques as they develop and incorporate them into your individual recruiting strategy.
Beating Your Competition to The Best Candidate - Sourcing Best Practices
Staffing and recruiting today views sourcing as a strictly outbound activity involving job boards, social networks and search engines. Bullhorn, with its candidate relationship management system (CRM) and ability to keep candidate records up-to-date, enables firms to treat their candidate database as a strategic asset. Learn how to build, manage, maintain and search a high quality candidate database, as well as how to integrate your sourcing from job boards, social networks and search engines, through a single Bullhorn interface, to effectively identify the highest-quality candidates for your customers.
