Every year, ACCP offers Annual Meeting attendees an opportunity to meet with potential employers and applicants in a casual, open environment. This year’s Recruitment Forum will continue that tradition. On Tuesday, October 21, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in Louisville, Kentucky, you might find your next outstanding employee or make the next step up in your career. Past employers have rated the Recruitment Forum as an exceptionally cost-effective, refreshing venue for getting a head start on next year’s recruiting efforts, without disrupting their meeting schedule. Applicants attending the career fair enjoy the informal, low-key setting.

ACCP understands the limitations of institutional budgets and maintains the Recruitment Forum as a no-cost feature for meeting registrants. Providing a cost-effective way for employers to get the word out about their available positions is part of that financial awareness effort. In addition to posting available opportunities through ACCP’s Online Position Listings, employers now have other options for increasing the visibility of their positions for a nominal fee. New options include “featuring” listings on the Online Position Listings home page and selecting specific interest groups with whom to share their position announcement via a once-weekly e-bulletin that is sent to each specific interest group. Check out the new options available on ACCP’s newly launched Web site at http://www.accp.com/careers/onlinePositionListings.aspx.

While visibility is key for employers, it is equally important for those seeking a new position. Applicants participating in the Recruitment Forum may list their profiles online at no cost, increasing their visibility to employers both before and during the meeting. Applicants and employers who identify mutual interests can connect prior to the meeting and again on-site at the Recruitment Forum. Using the online system gives both parties a head start on achieving a good match.

To register for the Annual Meeting and take advantage of the 2008 Recruitment Forum, visit the Web site at http://www.accp.com/meetings/am08/recruitmentForum.aspx. Employer tables are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, and space is limited.
