    Presenter: Steven J. Smith, PHR- Alabama Branch Manager, JobMatch, LLC

    This is a “must-attend” presentation for anyone with recruiting responsibilities.  As the job seeker’s access to information has evolved from the world of newspaper classifieds, to job boards, to now being ruled by job aggregators, social networks, and search engines, it is vital for HR professionals to understand the different ways that these technologies work and learn to use this knowledge to their advantage.   This session will help HR professionals understand how keywords affect how often your job listing is viewed on different job boards & search engines; how words within a job posting can mean different things to employers verses job seekers; which web-based tools can be used to determine the keywords that are used most often; and how to properly use keywords and job titles/descriptions based on where the job posting appears.

    This has been submitted for HRCI general credit pre-approval.  Attendees will be notified upon approval of credit.
