Kudos goes out to the ERE staff on last week’s conference in Washington D.C. I was able to catch some great speakers, connect with friends, network, and have Jason Davis take all my chips again in a semi-friendly game of poker. (Proceeds to the ERE Foundation)

You know an event is big when Gerry Crispin chooses to bring his newest product out of R&D and unveil to the market at ERE.

It’s been a little over a week since we wrapped up the 2007 DirectEmployers Annual Meeting and I wanted to say…

THANK YOU!

I personally appreciate all of the member, special guest, staff, and speaker support in making DirectEmployers’ 2007 Annual Meeting an outstanding success. This event produced the best member participation, since it’s inception in 2001, coupled by incredible statistics and real world case studies provided by our speakers.

What to look forward to next year?

DirectEmployers Annual Meeting ‘08 will provide more of the same… Innovation and hard work all wrapped in industry intelligence, statsitics, and your case studies!

Thanks to our speakers:

Angel Dominguez, Merck, & Doug Berg, Jobs2Web, who shared SEO and hiring case study information during their “Supercharge Your Career Site” presentation.

Doug Ries, Arbita, who shared proprietary information about the job board market during his “Gambling on Job Boards?” presentation.

Brian Jensen, McGraw-Hill, & Paul Forster, Indeed, who shared personal experiences and hiring information revolving around Job Search Engine marketing during their “Flexible Cost-Effective Recruitment Marketing” presentation.

Kurt Ronn, HR Works, who helped our members better understand the ever-changing compliance landscape during his “Aggressive Compliance, Be Proactive, Be Compliant” presentation.

Joel Cheesman, Cheezhead, shared his thoughts on the impact of blogging on your recruitment during his “It’s raining cats and blogs” presentation.

Carmen Carter, MultiCultural Women’s Council, who shared her views on how our members can create a more diverse working environment during her “Do-It-Yourself Diversity” presentation.

Shally Steckerl, JobMachine, shared his sourcing vision and advanced search techniques during his “Super Sourcing” Presentation.

and last but not least…..

Thanks to Alexis Herman who captivated the entire audience with her experiences and knowledge of the U.S. Talent Market. Her superb insight and vision were a lesson to everyone in the room.

This year will be hard to beat…

One of the recruiting industries BIGGEST challenges is simply understanding OFCCP compliance, especially after some of the changes put into effect earlier this year. Here’s the challenge, find an attorney who can provide layman-like information about compliance without sending their audience into a catatonic state. Maybe one of the attorney’s from Law and Order? I always understand what they’re saying and they keep me on the edge of my seat. Can I get one of them to explain compliance?

DONE! His name is Mickey Silberman, he’s not on TV, but a partner with Jackson Lewis. During the DirectEmployers Annual Meeting, last week in Las Vegas, Mickey totally wowed the audience of recruiting leaders by providing a much better understanding of the “OFCCP’s New Aggressive Approach to Investigating Adverse Impact”.

If you have questions give Mickey a call, he’ll open you’re eyes.
