There has been no shortage of recruiting conferences going on the past couple of months from national events like ERE and SHRM Talent to regional events including Minnesota Recruiters, recruitDC, Seattle SMA, Nashville TANS and the list goes on and on. As Talent Acquisition professionals look to arm themselves with bite size information and stats to build business cases internally for new programs to drive change, twitter remains a great channel for networking with conference attendees and information sharing.

With 6TB of job search data collected everyday, the Indeed Interactive conference this week had no shortage of great content and information shared.
