Executive Recruitment Exhibition and Conference (EREC) 2008

Executive Recruitment Exhibition and Conference (EREC) 2008

Genie Management Group announces the acquisition of the Executive Recruitment Exhibition and Conference (EREC)

The Exhibition is the only executive recruitment exhibition and conference held in the UK and its acquisition consolidates the strategic growth of Genie Management Group as a key service provider to the HR and recruitment industry.

EREC 2008, now in its third year, was established by Eton Events Ltd in 2006 and has quickly established itself as a focal point for the executive recruitment industry. Last year's event attracted over 2500 visitors and more than 80 exhibitors.

"We are proud to have created EREC and delighted that it is being taken over by Genie Management Group. The event needs the additional resource and vision that a large group can bring in order to move it onto the next level in its development. The new owners have some exciting ideas and bring a real knowledge of the executive recruitment industry to the table" said Andrew Clark, managing director of Eton Events "we will remain involved in the event but wish every success to Genie Management Group".

Graham Fisher, Managing Director of Genie Management Group stated "we have been looking for the right opportunity to consolidate and grow our influence in the recruitment industry for some time. Event management was a natural area of growth for us given our knowledge of the recruitment industry and my background in running major sports tournaments. We believe the foundations are in place to dramatically increase the size of the exhibition this year and to further develop the conference."

EREC 2008 will be held at the Business Design Centre in Islington on 26th and 27th June.

How to Ace the Headhunter Interview

How to Ace the Headhunter Interview
Don't try to script your first face-to-face interview. The headhunter wants to see the real you and find out how you handle unexpected challenges

by Joseph Daniel McCool

So you've fielded the headhunter's initial exploratory call (BusinessWeek.com, 10/25/07), a more in-depth follow-up call, and now you've been asked to schedule a face-to-face interview with the leadership recruiter who could punch your ticket to a new role in executive management.

It's important to remember, however, that you're still quite some way from realizing the true potential of this potentially career-making headhunter interview. That's because you're probably one of multiple candidates scheduled for interviews on this specific search assignment and, when all is said and done, only a handful will be granted an interview with the headhunter's client.
Pace Yourself

Even then, there's no guarantee that the hiring company will extend an offer of employment because, until you sign on the dotted line, there's plenty that could derail the search in which you're now involved. The hiring organization ultimately could decide that a talented insider is the best candidate for the position. It could call off the search because of new "organizational variables." Or the specifications for the position could change and shift the focus of the headhunter's courtship toward other candidates.

But it's equally important to understand that no big announcement of a new executive hire is possible without that individual's having sat down with the headhunter to share a true, complete, and compelling accounting of his or her professional work life, education, and personal background.

The fact that you've been invited to meet with a headhunter says good things about your reputation and the perceived value of your unique qualifications in today's intensely competitive executive talent market. So expect to answer some probing questions about where you've been and what you've done. And plan to ask your own prepared questions about what the hiring company really needs. How does it measure success in the executive suite? What kind of pressures is it feeling in its market? Where does its senior management team want to take it in the future? And how might you help them get there?

When the Candidate Says No

When the Candidate Says No
How quickly a rejected job offer prompts us to say "Good riddance!" Instead, we should figure out why the recruitment process has failed

by Liz Ryan

Three managers are sitting around a conference table, congratulating one another. "That Joe Adams—great hire!" says one. "Yeah, he'll be a great addition to the team," comments another. "He drove a hard bargain, but he'll get our next product launch on track," adds the third. There's a knock at the door and a young human resources person pokes her head in.

"Bad news," she reports. "Joe Adams has declined our offer. There were a few reasons, but essentially he said he had too many concerns about the position."

"What!" thunders the most senior exec at the table. "That's outrageous. That was a great offer. He's got too high an opinion of himself."

"High maintenance," agrees his colleague.

"We're better off without him," remarks the third.
Sour Grapes

As an HR leader for Big Business, I was witness to this scene about eight zillion times. The leadership team first agrees that a candidate is great—he's outstanding, or she's brilliant. He's going to revolutionize our product marketing, our cost accounting, our international licensing. She's going to whip our sales force into shape. Then, disaster strikes. The candidate says no. In the blink of an eye, the story is rewritten. He's self-important; she doesn't know what she's passing up. We didn't land the candidate, so the candidate is flawed. Ever heard this story before? Of course—it's one of Aesop's most famous fables, The Fox and the Grapes. Once the fox realized the grapes were out of reach, he decided they were sour grapes, anyway. Who needs 'em?
