On 26 July 2011, Nigeria’s number one jobs website, Jobberman.com is presenting Recruiting 2.0, Nigeria’s first conference on online recruitment with the theme “Internet Recruitment, talent wars and effective winning strategies”. The event holds at the Civic Centre in Lagos and is presented in partnership with Marina Medical Services.
Speakers for the event include Thomas Shaw, a leading Australian Online Recruitment Technology specialist who was the first to launch social networking recruitment applications for Facebook and MySpace; Carey Eaton who has served as Product Director and Chief Information Officer of Seek.com, the world's largest online recruitment business with market capitalization of $2.4billion and market leading job sites in Australia, New Zealand, China, Brazil, Mexico and throughout South East Asia; and Harvard MBA alumnus Kofi Afaedor, who served as Senior Product Manager for Monster.com responsible for internet product development and marketing across 18 European countries.
“Online Recruitment has changed the landscape of recruitment forever; transforming the recruitment processes for companies of all sizes and in all industries,” said Ayodeji Adewunmi, who is President and Co-founder of the company. “The impact has been sweeping, yielding unprecedented cost and time savings to all who get involved. Online is here to stay. Online is the future. Failure to understand online recruitment and to harness its power to improve recruitment strategy, reduce recruitment costs and minimise search turnaround times will seriously disadvantage any company and reduce its future competitiveness”.
