Happy New Year! What a wonderful year we had in 2007! We
reached new heights with our program attendance with
the addition of our new location on the north side.
Twice last year we exceeded 200 attendees with several
other meetings over 150. For the first time this last
year we partnered with the Indiana Chamber of Commerce
on their annual conference, which brought great results
for both organizations.
In order to build on last years theme “Focus on the
Basics”, we will continue to make efforts this year
to be efficient and strong operationally. However, this
year we have several objectives that will require us to
evaluate the chapter, our services, our image and our delivery.
Our hope is to then develop new and exciting goals for
2009. In 2007 we began a new relationship with the newly
recognized student chapter at IUPUI. We look forward to
partnering with them this year and helping them grow their
organization and professional development.
I would like to extend a special thank you to the board
members that ended their terms in 2007. Their leadership
has left us with a strong plan to build on. I welcome the
newest members of our board for 2008. I speak for all of
us in saying we have a great year ahead of us. I encourage
every member to reach out to the board and share your feedback
and ideas with us as we begin this new year.
I look forward to working with all of you to make 2008 another
eventful year for HRACI!
My best wishes to you for a wonderful year,
Cherilyn Stephens, PHR
Sincerely,
Cherilyn Stephens, PHR

Talent Pipelines, Online Supply Chains and the Candidate
Experience
 Why
would prospects want to become your candidates? Will their
interaction with your virtual and not so virtual content
engage them, inform them or confuse them and turn them
elsewhere? What “touchpoints” do you promise
upfront to the highest quality candidates so that they
choose you? Are recruiters and hiring managers “on
message” regarding key elements of your staffing
brand or might candidates hear conflicting messages?
The job seekers' “experience” has not improved
during the last decade despite universal internet access,
the proliferation of hiring management software and increased
attention on data collection and analysis. Gerry Crispin
contends that the proportion of qualified candidates who
abandon jobs pages is increasing, and is likely going to
get worse before it gets better. In this challenging presentation
Gerry draws on a recent study of more than 500 firms’ staffing
models to share the best (and worst) employer practices
to Target, Engage, Inform and Respect the job seeker. He
will showcase best-in-class examples.
Gerry Crispin is a former HR practitioner, an international
speaker, an author of 8 books and 100 articles, and a SHRM
volunteer leader whose views on employment strategy, hiring
process and staffing technology are sought by many of the
world's most competitive corporations.
As
a freshly minted Engineer from Stevens Institute of Technology
(more than a couple
years ago) Gerry worked
in Career Services while studying for advanced degrees
and found the experience awakened a keen interest in how
Job Seekers ‘game’ their next career move while
Employers tout their latest opportunities…everywhere
in the world. He still returns to his alma mater each month
as a volunteer to assist alumni in career transition.
Gerry
has had a lifelong passion about how firms design and
build staffing processes,
the technology to enhance
them and the systems to manage them and he has worked in
nearly every facet of the staffing Industry and the HR
profession – from major corporations like Johnson
and Johnson to boutique search firms and as the general
manger of a recruitment advertising firm. In the last 12
months he has spent time on the ground with job seekers
and employers in China, Japan, Australia, Russia and the
UK.
Acknowledged by several organizations as one of the most
influential leaders in the staffing industry, Gerry and
his business partner, Mark Mehler, facilitate intense,
small-group meetings with leading corporate staffing strategists
to analyze cutting-edge employment issues, share staffing
best practices, and help re-invent the recruiting function.

to hire or be hired? |
One of the benefits
of being a member of the HRACI is the ability to see open
human resource positions targeted for the human resource

listing to find the true human resource position? The HRACI
job board makes the search and applicant process easier
for candidates.
Are
you an employer seeking qualified human resource professional
candidates?
The HRACI job board is for you, too. Quality
of applicants matters in today’s market and since
this site is viewable only to members of the HRACI you
know that the potential responders have the knowledge,
skills, and abilities you seek.
To
post an open position, member’s fee is $30 and
non members pay $155 (which includes 1 membership).
Compared to Careerbuilder’s
rate as of today, listed as $419.00, the HRACI job board
is a more economical and targeted vehicle.
