Sneak Preview of LinkedIn Talent Connect [VIDEO]

Ahh, Vegas – the sights, the sounds, the smells. It’s an exciting place year-round, but never more so for us than this week when a team led by Tejal Patel, Catherine Gutermuth, and I host almost 2,000 of our incredibly inspiring customers at Talent Connect. Over the next three days, talent acquisition professionals from some of the world’s most successful companies will gather together at the MGM Grand Conference Center for our third annual customer event for the recruitment industry. Their main objective is to network and share best practices so they can become even better at leveraging LinkedIn to find, attract and hire top professionals – professionals like you – who can take their organizations to the next level. This year’s Talent Connect is the biggest to date. Corporate recruiters from more than 1,100 companies and 20 countries will participate in nearly 90 sessions on topics ranging from employer branding to the future of talent acquisition. If you’re interested in hearing how recruiters from around the world are adopting new technology and best practices to better connect talent with opportunity, there are a number of ways you can take part:
