itzbig Brings Industry Experts Together to Discuss Best Ways to Identify and Hire Qualified Technology Professionals
Austin, TX (August 23, 2007) –itzbig ( www.itzbig.com ), which offers technology companies and job candidates a private, interactive sourcing network, will host a “Lunch and Learn” roundtable discussion on the challenges and solutions associated with hiring qualified technology workers at Sullivan’s Steakhouse in Dallas on August 28.
The discussion, which begins at 11:30 a.m., will be led by Hank Stringer, who is co-author of Talent Force: A New Manifesto for the Human Side of Business .
“We believe this roundtable discussion will bring together seasoned recruiting executives and hiring innovators from around Dallas to discuss new ways to gain a competitive sourcing advantage,” said Stringer, who is also a founder of itzbig.
“Technology companies today share a similar problem in that the cost to find qualified technology professionals is increasing, while competition for top talent is increasing. The good news is that the talent sourcing industry is adapting to that change with different solutions, which is something we will talk about on Tuesday.”
One of those solutions is itzbig, a sourcing network that attracts working professionals, who aren’t actively seeking new employment. These quiet working professionals (QWPs) tend to be the most qualified individuals for the positions that companies are seeking to fill. Yet, they are hesitant to use traditional job boards for fear of being discovered, or that it will be inefficient and a waste of their time.
itzbig’s interactive network allows QWPs to privately explore career opportunities, while securely matching their skills, goals and experience to opportunities. Additionally, the itzbig network provides very accurate matching, scoring and ranking of candidates and jobs, saving time and money for both jobseekers and employers.
