Beyond Keywords: Why traditional search techniques don’t tell the full story.
A keyword search for “Toys” will not find the CEO of Hasbro. A search for “Fintech” will not find the CEO of PayPal. A search for “Drinks” will not find the CEO of PepsiCo.
In this presentation, Jason Starr, CEO of Dillistone Group Plc, will demonstrate the solution – live.

“Is Sales Navigator the right LinkedIn subscription for you?”
Do you pay for LinkedIn? The price difference between a premium upgrade and LinkedIn Recruiter is vast, did you know there is a middle ground? LinkedIn’s sales navigator product is aimed at salespeople (shocker!), but it has a lot of the same search filters and features as LinkedIn Recruiter, it even does a few things Recruiter doesn’t. In this session, Katharine will give you a tour of the product and talk about why and how she uses it. Tune in for an honest and frank discussion about the value of LinkedIn’s paid products.
Bio: I teach recruiters to search the Internet or search it for them. I joined LinkedIn in April 2008 and, since then, have been trying to bend it to my will. My sourcing training aims to make you bolder with the tools you use to look for and engage candidates. Half my time is still spent sourcing and market mapping for clients, I find this helps keep me focused on the tools and techniques that really work.

Practical online Strengths Workshop for research staff in executive search
Overview
Most people don’t know what their strengths are or how to put them to work. Based on the practical, research-underpinned Strengths Profile™, we will start to investigate what you do well and love to do. We will also consider strengths that you don’t enjoy and actually want to do less. And how to own the things that you are NOT good at.
Our aim is that you leave this session with 3 strengths-related personal goals to work on.
Being able to articulate your strengths will help you to unlock your full potential, perform better and make more informed career choices in the future.
Session outline

All participants will be sent in advance of the session a link to a private, personal online workspace to use during the session (and afterwards as needed).
