$49 is a Small Investment for a Placement

This blog has been pretty sporadic since I left QPS several months ago, but I wanted to write briefly about an upcoming Wisconsin Association of Personnel Services (WAPS) training session as this blog still generates traffic through Linkedin and Twitter.

WAPS is a community of staffing professionals based in Milwaukee.  The organization provides training resources throughout the year on a number of different topics relevant to the recruiting business.  Since getting involved in 2007, I can attribute a number of placements to the techniques I learned at a WAPS event.

On Friday, March 25th, in Milwaukee, WAPS is welcoming Mike Tischer, Director of Education at Broadlook for a 2 hour training session.  Broadlook is a company that helps businesses leverage the internet  and utilize the information present there to help companies maximize their business.  Among the many industries they service is recruiting.

Mike will speak about how to create an effective research plan for recruiters or for prospecting for new job orders.  In addition, he will share some tactics for how to generate the best results (and source hard to find candidates) on the Internet.

A link for more information about the event and to register is here:

Full cost information is also available via the links above, but in summary WAPS members can send unlimited attendees from their office for $25.

If you're not a WAPS member, the cost is $49 per person.

Without getting too preachy, even if the seminar only helps you find one new job order or one candidate that you end of placing, my guess is the cost of the training and time invested will have been recouped 5 times over.

Please consider joining us next month, and stay tuned for other WAPS training events and roundtables this Spring!
