Even with 9.1% unemployment, there is an increasing war for some specialized technical talent. Silicon Valley startups are battling established companies such as Walmart labs for scarce candidates including software engineers! Fortunately, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can provide the winning tactics.
Over the last two years I have researched applying SEO to recruiting in search of providing a differential recruiting advantage for my clients. In the process I have built up the largest SEO group in the Chicago area with over 530 members. (Please go to http://www.meetup.com/chicago-seo/ to learn more).
To spotlight my findings, I have arranged two experts for a special symposium on Saturday, August 20th starting at 10 a.m. at TechNexus at 200 S. Wacker including:
1. Nicole Bodem, Director of Search Marketing at Bernard Hodes. Please go to http://www.hrsearchmarketing.com/ learn more about Nicole.
2. Gordon Dymowski. A non-profit and cause-related SEO advocate for such clients as Harvard School of Public Health and The Salvation Army. Please go to http://www.gordondymowski.com/ to learn more about Mr. Dymowski.
