Webinar Details:

Deadlines. Budgets. Reader complaints. We all face immediate demands on our time, and it is easy to put off projects like employee pipeline building. That sometimes means we find ourselves resorting to a “post and pray” strategy when we have an opening — we post the position on our job site or a third-party site and then pray we attract applicants that are qualified.

Recruiting takes time and involves everyone in a newsroom, even if we are lucky enough to work in an organization with a robust talent acquisition division. But just because it takes time doesn’t mean it is complicated or difficult.

Listen in on ASBPE’s webinar “How to Build a Robust Pipeline of Top Talent” to learn:

• tips to help you build and maintain your employee pipeline
• the kinds of messages that resonate with early career professionals
• the questions most commonly asked by applicants.
