2. Isn’t Retrenchment the Right Topic?
True, retrenchment (or its avoidance) is the current preoccupation
But cycles change, and change quickly – remember October 1998? October 1999? October 2000?
Time to plan for next hiring cycle
- what can we do now to optimise recruitment for now and the future

3. Perspectives of a Online Recruitment Company
Contractionary cycle
Clients have less vacant positions
There are more candidates on the market
Finding jobs for candidates is a difficult task
Expansionary cycle
Clients have lots of vacant positions
Finding appropriate candidates is a difficult task
Challenge is to fill the positions
Maximise sales and do all we can to fill positions
Enlarge our database for future “harvesting”

4. In Contractionary Times, Why Not Do What Recruiters Do
Build your own human capital database
Take advantage of surge in number of applicants, some high quality
Develop means of keeping in touch with employees who leave
In preparation for next recruitment cycle

5. How Can I Do this with Resource Constraints?
Let the Internet do the work for you
