Recruiters Roundtable 10/10/2024 8:30 AM - 10/10/2024 10:30 AM

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 14:34:17 GMT

Recruiting often comes with intense pressure, from meeting tight deadlines and ambitious hiring goals to navigating the unpredictability of candidate behavior. The daily grind can quickly lead to burnout, leaving many recruiters feeling exhausted and disconnected from what motivates them.

Join us for an essential roundtable discussion where industry leaders share their personal experiences with burnout and offer practical strategies for overcoming it. Learn how to spot the warning signs, prioritize self-care, and maintain your effectiveness in a high-pressure industry.

In this session, experts will address key causes of burnout in recruitment—like constant competition, repetitive administrative tasks, and the "always-on" work culture. They will also discuss how embracing automation, setting boundaries, and fostering a positive work environment can help alleviate stress and improve job satisfaction. You'll gain practical tips to:
• Recognize burnout early and take proactive steps to prevent it.
• Incorporate mindful breaks to recharge during the day and maintain focus.
• Leverage technology to streamline routine tasks, freeing up time for personalized, impactful interactions.
• Cultivate a network of mentors, peers, and resources that fosters professional growth and well-being.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to reclaim balance, restore your energy, and enhance your well-being while staying at the top of your recruiting game.

This roundtable is only open to the following:

- Talent acquisition professionals
- DEI-focused recruiters*
- Relocation specialists

*We strongly encourage participants in MMAC's Region of Choice initiative to attend and help build a network of peers with shared goals and challenges.

Professor Robert Wolcott explores PROXIMITY: Just-in-Time Breakthroughs Transforming Business, Society, and Daily Life

What if you could have whatever you want, produced, and provided immediately and affordably no matter how customized?with minimal environmental impact? Products, services, and experiences on demand. Just-in-time anything, anywhere, anytime. This radical change is underway, as digital technologies push the production and provision of value ever closer to the moment of demand.

Professor Robert Wolcott will discuss his latest book, PROXIMITY, which provides a framework to understand how rapidly advancing technologies?from generative AI and 3D printing to lab-grown meats, renewable energy, and virtual reality? are transforming every industry?and our lives.

Offering unparalleled foresight for leaders and innovators, he shares how pervasive this trend will be. PROXIMITY represents an entirely new way to serve customers, with critical implications for corporate strategy, investing, public policy, supply chain resilience, and sustainability. Incremental changes to existing business models won’t suffice.

PROXIMITY offers a playbook for business leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs to win this rapidly emerging game?and for each of us to consider the implications for our careers, families, communities, and lives.

Each attendee will receive a copy of PROXIMITY.
