The biggest recruitment selfie… ever!

Friday 27th February 2015, Hilton Hotel, Sydney.

300 recruiters packed in for my recruitment master-class, ‘Will the new golden era of recruitment pass you by?’ And I mean packed in. Fully booked, not a spare seat, and dozens turned away (sadly).

So what would any self-respecting conference speaker with a bit of digital marketing nous do? Take a selfie of course! (Mind you, to be honest, this was the first time I have ever used a ‘selfie stick’.)

Greg-Savage-Selfie

Right now the Australian leg of this speaking tour (6 cities), is done and we start the New Zealand segment tomorrow (3 cities). I am happy (and OK, a little proud) to say that 1,000 recruiters will attend this series, and to date the feedback has been pretty damn positive (actually, stupendous, thank you).

A massive personal ‘thank-you’ from me to all those people who paid the money, invested the time, and turned this into the biggest speaking tour in Australian recruitment history.

Kiwi recruiters not signed up yet, get on it. Seats still available.

****************************************************************************************************************

I am taking this speaking tour to the UK in October, supported by the REC over there. (OK so it’s the same week as the Rugby World Cup Final, sure, so you noticed, so what, just a coincidence, seriously.)

Watch REC website or my events page for booking details in due course, please.

Everyone looks well and truly satisfied and happy in Sydney. As we were on the 25th February here in Melbourne!!!! It was really a great occasion and to see the conference hall FULL! People were inspired, motivated and educated. I have been to many of your workshops etc etc but this is by far the best. Greg you did yourself and the RCSA proud. You SHOULD be proud of yourself. Congratulations. Good luck in the UK, my old stomping ground when I was Regional Chairman (Hampshire/Dorset) of the old IEC (now REC) See you soon I hope Regards Alan One of the golden oldies.

Hi Greg, We loved it ! So informative and forward thinking! There is no doubt in our minds that less and less people are 'applying' for jobs and that being contacted or 'approached' is a given for anyone with specific in demand skills. Q. How do we stay ahead of this when often that candidate is already working for one of our clients? And we currently work with the majority of the clients in this area.
