Masterclass Dr. John Sullivan: “Adopting The Very Best From Silicon Valley Recruiting”

Silicon Valley recruiting is hands down the most admired in the world. This approach is so powerful that it allows large firms like Google and Amazon down to startup sized firms to continually attract not just a high volume of excellent global talent. But also, the most impactful category of talent (we call them game changers), new-hires that innovate. This highly interactive class will reveal the Valley’s “hard for outsiders to discover” recruiting secrets. And then Dr Sullivan will walk you through the initial steps that corporate and agency recruiters should take to begin the transition. While at the same time almost immediately improving your recruiting results and business impacts. Dr Sullivan will also explain why waiting to make the transition may not be a good idea (for example, if you are a recruitment agency that wants to avoid the fate of other “agencies,” like travel agencies, that wouldn’t acknowledge fast enough that the old model was dying).

One of the features of Silicon Valley recruiting is mass personalization. So, to ensure that this session meets your needs and that it stands out. You will receive the presentation days in advance so that you can prepare personalized questions and let John know via email what additional information you would like to have covered during the class.

Challenge how you think about the steps needed to be taken for the transition to the future.

This session is now downloadable upon signing up. Moreover: you’ll still be able to reach out to Dr. Sullivan directly for any questions you may have.
