Recap: “Through a Glass Darkly: Increasing Transparency in Talent Acquisition”

Thank you to all that attended our first professional development event of 2021, “Through a Glass Darkly: Increasing Transparency in Talent Acquisition,” featuring Michael Deas, ABC, SCMP, Marketing Manager at Lee Company. We hope you enjoyed hearing Mike’s recommendations for improving the disconnect between those seeking jobs and those seeking to fill them based on his personal seven-month job-search experience last year. Key insights gained from this hour-long presentation include:

  • Tips to be more transparent and visible in your job search
  • How to “stand out” from the competition as a hiring employer or a job seeker
  • Recommended, and not so recommended, tools and platforms to help your success rate
