DESCRIPTION

79% of today’s working professional’s are not actively looking for a job but they may be the perfect candidate for your open position, so how do you find, engage with and secure them into your organisation? At Talent Connect Europe 2012 we heard from Rachel Riddington of Betfair & James Dowling of Centrica (who achieved some of the highest InMail response rates last year) on how they successfully worked with their internal stakeholders to put passive candidates at the hear of their recruiting strategy, truly partnered with hiring managers, adapted their communication style and much more to secure the best talent out there.
