In this tight labor market, we are all struggling to find the right mix of (and most successful) recruitment tools. This panel of local recruiting experts will focus on Social & Traditional Media: the pros and cons, effective resources, pitfalls, successes and best practices.
HR Thursdays are presented in partnership with the LA Metro Chamber, Central Maine Human Resource Association and the Lewiston CareerCenter and offer employers resources and tools to help gain a competitive edge. Presenters will share best practices to businesses owners, HR staff and hiring managers in order to create meaningful recruitment, training, and retention strategies. HR Thursdays allow participants, whether employers of one employee or 1500, gain information needed to survive the labor shortage while giving tangible, and usable, tools and resources.
