John Borrowman

Next Monthly Member Meeting on March 27th, 11:30am @ Vanderbilt Health at 100 Oaks

Topic: The Push-Pull Principle:

What it is and how you can use it for more effective candidate management

At the close of his presentation at the TRA Conference, Jon Bartos laid out “10 Steps You Must Take To Make A High Demand Talent Market Work For You.” His number one step was “Get to know your candidate.” That can be challenging in today’s fast-paced market.

At our March 27 meeting, John Borrowman will discuss the Push-Pull Principle and how you can use it as a lens for making a sharper diagnosis of your candidate’s motivations and, by extension, smarter decisions about how much time and effort you invest in managing and placing that candidate. John will also talk about how this approach to candidate engagement can put you on firmer footing so you minimize candidate “ghosting.”
