The headline for this year’s “Post 200″ a Washington Post review of the top 200 companies in the Washington, DC area read like this: ”In the Washington region, the biggest businesses got a little smaller in 2012.” Combine that with the impact of the Sequester on the local economy, and it would seem talent acquisition wouldn’t be a priority for executives. But the local job market is still one of the most challenging and robust in the entire country. Now more than ever, those organizations that have the hire and retain the best talent are those that win. So what do C-Level executives want to know about the challenges with developing and executing a successful talent acquisition strategy in the local market? Join a panel of top local HR leaders who are being asked these very questions by their top executives and who will share with you their insights into how they are believe that they can win in the local War for Talent.
