• How to understand and take advantage of the new ‘dwell time’ algorithm for posts. This will involve a demonstration on how to rebuild a post with dwell time in mind.

• The increasing importance of ‘relevancy’ on LinkedIn and how to influence the algorithm to place your content in the feeds of those you wish to target and improve your chances of being found and achieving better search results.

Searching outside of LinkedIn

Free for ERA Members

£50 for Non Members

 Here is some information about my upcoming webinar:

Too many Researchers begin and end their searches in LinkedIn! This is a great time waster and puts you on the ‘back foot’ from the start of any research project.

 I want to show you how you can save time, and money, by using LinkedIn as PART of your research project but not as the only social media platform that you gather information from. We will be looking at how we should be starting our searches on Google or Bing, as this will yield so many more results. We can then filter these results by adding more search parameters to our Boolean search string. Once we have identified the best talent, we also do not want to stop there by sending the candidate an in mail – and hoping they see it and respond to us.

 To complete the research process, we need to leave LinkedIn again to find the email address and/or mobile number of these candidates. It is a proven fact that people are twice as likely to respond to an email and reply in up to 85% less time, compared to an in mail!

 Let me teach you to be a better Researcher by identifying the best talent, more effectively and efficiently than your competitors.

ERA Roundtable event – The effects of COVID-19 on Executive Research

The event is for Members and Non Members

Following the successful roundtable event for Members back in May looking at the impact of COVID-19 on the executive research and talent acquisition arena, we are now opening this up to non-members.

As we enter week 12 of lockdown, COVID-19 has swiftly made its impact on our health, the way we live, interact and how we work. After several weeks of lockdown and remote working, businesses are now grappling with how to move forward with the easing of lockdown, identifying and implementing new ways of working. As we evolve to adapt to the new “normal”, how is COVID-19 impacting the Executive Research and Talent Acquisition market? It may have caused significant challenge for the sector, but has it also created new opportunities and new ways of working? As an industry how can we adapt and support businesses, as well as each other moving forward?

This interactive roundtable event will give you the opportunity to engage with other Executive Research and Talent Acquisition members to understand how the Coronavirus has impacted others in the sector, as well as hear how talent companies and independents are adapting to the new world. We are keen to bring together those from different environments from corporate inhouse talent acquisition teams, through to executive search houses and independents to help shape a true picture of the landscape we now operate in.

The session, led by the ERA Committee, will pose the following topic headings and will give members the opportunity to share, discuss and listen to how the sector is evolving to this new environment. This sense check will also help to assist the ERA in understanding the challenges and opportunities the wider sector is facing and to help shape new training and support mechanisms moving forward.

To help people prepare for the session the topic headings will include:

• What have been the main impacts of COVID-19 to your business?
• How have you had to adapt to assist in engaging and identifying talent?
• What have been the challenges and what will be the challenges for your business in the future, (i.e. business travel, employees working remotely, freeze on recruitment, developing new ways of working and areas of focus)
• How have you adapted your technology? I.e. for interviews, meetings and engaging with candidates and clients? What have been the main technology challenges? What’s been working well for you?
• What training and support needs have you identified over the last few weeks that could be supported by the ERA?

We would love for those that join to actively participate in the discussion. If you would like to send through in advance any questions or topics for participation then please email sarah@theera.org who can incorporate them into the schedule, otherwise we will look forward to you joining the conversation on the 24th June.

ERA Webinar with Balazs Paroczay – Global Sourcing Strategist

“Your inner sourcing animal – and six other core research methods”

While the sourcing and recruiting industry is loudly screaming hosanna to every bit of new technology – there is too little being said about the science and art of research. It’s certainly great to have access to all these great tools, however, it is still humans that need to craft, initiate and control a search.

The most intelligent piece of technology is still our brain so let’s spend some time to hardwire our very own applications.

In this session Balazs shares those Seven Search Methods that he’s learnt from and sharpened together with various Sourcing Masters over the last 15 years.

He shares how he discovered his inner sourcing animal. He is a wolf. What is YOUR inner sourcing animal?

“A Practical Guide to Building Executive Research with Free Tools and Effective Techniques” 

Summary

In this session we will look at identifying the leadership in a global organisation, what groups they align to, position levels, building and presenting the information. We are not all blessed with tools and resources for building our research. How do we execute a successful and meaningful search using open and free tools, techniques (OSINT) and resources? Let me show you.

45 minute presentation followed by Q&A

Bio

I took my first sourcing certification test in the late ’90s. At that time, I attended what was called a “computer school” and took a timed sourcing test on a computer with a dial-up connection to the internet.

I was the first external “Internet Recruiter,” as they were called at the time, hired by Microsoft in 2000. I have had the opportunity to work for Google, Amazon, Apple, Yahoo!, Starbucks, ADP, a few start-ups, and other great companies as a full-time employee and contractor during my career.

I have trained sourcing professionals and recruiters at various companies, and I am known as a sourcing expert, but I have also operated as a full-cycle recruiter. I have spoken at numerous conferences, including the HIREconf, Talent42, and I have been one of the highest-rated presenters at SourceCon. I was an invited speaker at the SourceCon All-Stars conference in March of 2016 in Orlando, FL. I have also led webinars on behalf of the ERE, CareerArc, Zapinfo, Hiretual, and others.

Additionally, I was a board member of the S7+ (Sourcing Seven) organization in Seattle, WA, for several years. I currently lead the Sun City Sourcing Society in the greater Phoenix, AZ area.

Most recently, I have held the role of Senior Sourcer, Talent Attraction, and Leadership at Indeed, and I have recently joined Salesforce as an Executive Sourcer.
