Recruitment Engineering in the Transhuman Age ​

I haven’t written a self-help book yet, but if I did and merged it with the recruitment industry it would be called: "Recruiters are from Mars, candidates are from New Jersey". Recruiters create artificial robots and fly around in augmented reality but candidates are subjected to boring LinkedIn or Vkontakte invitations or a telephone call. We hear it from everywhere - virtual reality, mixed reality, chatbots, artificial intelligence, natural language processing and others. But what is really your competitive advantage on today's sourcing market?

Learn the ropes of recruitment engineering from the recruitment practitioner and a former software engineer who founded the talent sourcing center and recruitment agency with over 140 employees in 5 years on the most competitive job market with the lowest unemployment rate in EU.

- How to dominate the recruitment market through people & tech
- Which operating sourcing model is the most optimal and up-to-date sourcing funnels
- The future of sourcing and what technologies are applicable already today.

CEO
Recruitment Academy s.r.o.

Josef is a former ethical hacker, digital forensic examiner and hardcore Linux engineer who went head over heels into the talent sourcing and recruitment industry utilizing his cross-field experience. He co-founded the international recruitment agency, GoodCall, currently having 140+ employees and specializing in social recruitment for 5-person start-ups as well as 10,000 person Fortune 500s.

He grew up on open source and loves to share his knowledge, implementing new software and hardware innovations into his staffing procedures – seeing companies not able to hire Java engineers and build their amazing next-gen products is just too painful otherwise. This is also the reason that he established the Recruitment Academy, to cultivate, collaborate, and raise the bar for sourcing and recruiting in Central & Eastern Europe.

His claim to fame is as the author of a controversial book People as Merchandise: Crack the Code to LinkedIn Recruitment recommended by Barbara Corcoran from ABC’s Shark Tank, the rogue recruiter and best-selling author David E. Perry and HR directors of companies such as IBM, Google, Barclays, Hewlett-Packard, T-Mobile, Manpower and AVG.

Josef also hasn’t fully left the software business as he’s an advisor and investor in a data-driven, people analytics ATS called Datacruit.

Josef lives in Prague, Czech Republic and likes beer.
