Next week, I am speaking at the global ‘Big Biller Summit’, and ‘Savage Truth’ readers are invited to attend as my guest, for free.
I am pleased that my very popular recent presentation ‘The future of recruiting. New Kool vs Old Skool’ is being showcased at the summit. And you can access it here, for free.
This event runs from October 25-28, 2011 and is the world’s biggest ‘virtual’ conference for recruiting and staffing professionals. You can participate by telephone and/or the web – you don’t even have to leave your desk. That means you save the time and cost of travelling to a traditional seminar, and most importantly you won’t lose a day’s production.
I am not the only speaker! There are 16 presentations from recruitment experts from all over the world, all addressing key issues relating to peak recruiter performance.
You can see all speakers and full summaries of topics on registering.
To claim your free ticket, register here.
My presentation, “The future of recruiting. New Kool vs Old Skool” is a one-hour highlights version of my recent presentation to the recruitment industry in Australia, which were sold out.
Key topics I cover include
- How our industry is changing and how recruiters need to adapt
- Changing expectations of clients and candidates
- Talent communities and talent pools
- Using social media to grow your business
- Technology and recruitment – where to now?
- “New Kool” skills all recruiters need
- “Old Skool” tactics that remain key in the new era
Hope to ‘see’ you there.
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg
What’s your view on how the Big Biller Summit markets itself?
The website, the sign-up page and what happens after you register all looks quite cheap, cheesy and spammy to me – which are not concepts I normally associate with you.
I have to admit I have not given it a great deal of thought Mitch, although I do agree that the site could be a bit more polished. Nor have I actually been through the sign up process. The Summit is not my enterprise, I am sure you appreciate. I was asked to contribute a session, and I did. One of 16 speakers I believe. I think the content is what is key however, and I am hoping that the caliber of the speakers is top notch. I certainly gave my best in the hour I was allotted!
Cheers
Greg
I’m sure you did, Greg. To be honest, you’re participation was the only reason I bothered to sign-up for it.
Much of it looks like the same old hackneyed “think like a millionaire’ mind-spin driven training we’ve all seen too many times before.
Whilst Iagree with your comments about Gregs material Mitch, you cant always judge a book by its cover, no matter how self promoting some of this material may be (or not) I always gain another perspective from listening to such presentations. My comment would be that the pricing models dont match those in Australasia, and the metrics quoted may be different but hey apply the learnings and test and measure and develop your own metrics.
Hi Greg,
Interesting reading as usual!
Well you can tell your readers and followers that you know a guy who has just turned 67 (5/10/11) Been a recruiter for 35 years (04/01/76) and been at TEAM Executive Consultants (South Yarra) for 13 years (15/10/98). No intention of retiring!
Love the job and love the people.
Why? because todays candidates are tomorrow’s clients. NEVER QUIT!
