Nicholas van Esch, founder and Technical Director of LogicMelon, the leading multi-posting and applicant tracking provider, has been confirmed as guest speaker at the Talent & Skills Pipelines quarterly corporate contact-centre HR Executive Forum run by Teleresources and Only the Best on 24 May 2012 in Johannesburg.

Mr van Esch will be discussing Online Talent Acquisition Value Chain Analysis - Job boards, social recruiting, the aggregators, applicant trackers and how they all work. The process Recruiters can follow to make better use of what’s available and be selective about which to try, in order to decrease cost and improve efficiency.

"Internet penetration is gaining strong momentum in South Africa and Africa and the diversity of available advertising media a growing," said Mr van Esch. "Organisations will need to be able to advertise efficiently and effectively and measure and manage a larger portfolio of candidate sources. We are proud to be part of this event about sharing with the industry."

Other topics include Building your own Skills Pipelines – traditional talent and skills models are too reactive, tending to hire ‘ready-made’ candidates from their competitors; whereas the real opportunity is in proactively building your own organisation’s skills development strategy for skills capacity and sustainability

"These forums provide a great place for individuals and companies involved in recruiting to build up their knowledge base on developments worldwide."

The HR Executive Forum is an opportunity for Senior HR & Ops Executives in the contact-centre industry, both Captive and BPO, to meet to discuss key strategic Human Capital issues at a management-level. It’s a chance to network and share your learning with your peers.
