Risk Recruiting

Who should attend: Recruiters or hiring managers who expect to recruit risk professionals for open positions in 2008. This seminar will help you streamline the process, source and hire qualified candidates. The January 23rd seminar in Houston focuses on Energy and the February 6th seminar in New York City on Compliance - the remaining seminars examine all risk segments. Seating is limited to 25 professionals.

Feedback from 2007 Seminars in New York, London and Washington, DC: "A great opportunity to discuss recruiting challenges with others in the field"; "Loved the handouts and case studies"; "I have great new ideas for sourcing and best practices for my hiring managers"; and "A true education, not a sales pitch".

Why: Recruiting risk professionals is increasingly important and challenging. Demand is at an all-time high and industry forecasts show expected increases of over 15% for the next five years. Risk professionals may not have the time or expertise to source risk talent, and firms must educate their recruiters on the nuances and language of risk management and key tactics for acquiring top talent.

Agenda: This information-packed one day seminar includes:

Introduction to risk management – an overview of the risk market segments, risk language, certifications and the size and scope of the market for talent
Risk candidate sourcing – where are good candidates – active vs. passive candidates – metrics
Market compensation overview – real compensation data for different types of risk managers
Candidate evaluation – how to screen risk managers and quantitative finance professionals so that your hiring manager receives quality candidates
Pipeline – techniques for building a on-going candidate pool/pipeline
External resources – job boards such as www.globalriskjobs.com , associations, etc.
