Intro: Sean BiscegliaSean Bisceglia is Chief Executive Officer of TalentDrive, headquartered  in Chicago. Since the company opened its doors in 2007, TalentDrive has built a solid client list. Without relying on manual search 

strings, TalentDrive sweeps 1000's of job boards, matching your job description to qualified talent for 

your open positions. Prior to TalentDrive, Sean acquired and became CEO of CPRi (Corporate Project 

Resources, Inc) in March 2003, and sold to Aquent in July 2005. Sean's leadership as CEO of CPRi helped

to grow the organization 200%, making it the largest national marketing staffing firm. As a result, 

Aquent's acquisition of CPRi crowned them the largest marketing and creative services staffing firm in 

the world. The firm deploys over 1000 marketers a day around the world.

Prior to CPRi, Sean founded TFA, a marketing technology firm, in 1992, which he sold to Leo Burnett in 1998. Joining 

Leo Burnett's management post‐acquisition to run the company's Technology Group, he was the youngest corporate 

executive vice president in the Leo Burnett Company's history. Under his leadership, TFA/Leo Burnett achieved a 

record breaking 96% growth to $210 million with over 350 employees around the globe. In recognition of his 

achievements, Sean was elected to the board of directors of Leo Burnett USA. 

Beyond his relentless focus on profitable growth, Sean's success also is attributed to the profile he keeps within the 

business community. He serves on the advisory boards of various companies, contributes to the Wall Street Journal, 

New York Times, and various industry trade publications. Sean has served as guest speaker at Harvard Business School, 

University of Chicago, and DePaul University. In 1999, Sean was named by the Crain's Chicago Business list of "Forty 

Under Forty" top business people in Chicago. In 2000 he was also named as one of "The Internet 100," by Crain's 

Chicago Business.

Sean serves on the Palliative Care Center & Hospice of the North Shore Foundation Board, the Rehabilitation Institute

Current Economy

Optimists see job growth as soon as spring,

With the economy losing only about 750,000

more jobs between now and then.

Pessimists predict the economy will keep

losing jobs until late next year or 2010, with

additional losses of well over 2 million jobs,

bringing the peak‐to‐trough decline to more

than 4 million.‐ BusinessWeek, “Is the Jobs Panic Justified?”

Polling Question

Impact of Economic Downturn

• Harmed– Limited resources– Uncertainty, both for organizations 

seeking to hire and prospective employees seeking change

– Relocation problems – home sales impact employee willingness/ability to move

– Increasingly poor quality of candidates

• Helped– More talent available; “their loss is 

our gain”– Less competition enables 

organizations to better position to attract talent

– Uncertainty decreases attrition

Current Market Behaviors

• Organizations are in cost cutting mode – focus is clearly on 2009

• Large‐scale strategic initiatives are being deferred due to the cost of investment

• Organizations are focused on addressing specific and immediate problems ‐ targeted solutions or outsourcing

• Drivers for evaluating a Recruitment Process Outsourcing solution remain the same

– Variable cost structure, improve candidate quality, and shorter time to fill

• There is less urgency to address the recruiting challenges of 2007 and 2008
