| Recruiting Real Estate Talent: Challenges and Tactics |
|
On March 13th, CoreNet presented a panel of leading academics and corporate executives who discussed the various stages of the talent lifecycle in real estate, including trends in education, training, recruitment, retention and placement of knowledge workers. The discussion addressed:
- The "skill set gap" - the difference between what real estate organizations are looking for and what the currently available talent pool offers
- Tools and programs for locating and recruiting qualified employees
- The competition for real estate talent from other sectors of the economy
Panelists were: Susanne E. Cannon, Douglas & Cynthia Endowed Director of The Real Estate Center; Denis DeCamp, Director, Global Real Estate Rockwell Automation; Jill Attkisson, Senior Consultant, Hewitt Consulting and Monna Nevils, Vice President-Talent Systems Americas, Jones Lang LaSalle.

| DePaul Real Estate Alumni Association (DREAA) Event |
|
On March 18th, nearly 100 DePaul Real Estate Center alumni listened to industry experts discuss strategies on evolving their business through the challenges of the current credit environment. David Brown, President and CEO, ORIX Real Estate Capital, Inc., Wayne Caplan, Senior Commercial Associate, Sheldon Good & Company and David R. Maki, Director, North American Capital Markets, RREEF Alternative Investments, generally agreed on one thing - uncertain economic conditions are creating chaos in the debt and equity markets for commercial real estate assets. Focused, long-term investment strategies are the safest answer while the shake up continues, and plenty of opportunities still exist during down markets. Please visit www.DREAAOnline.org for information about upcoming events.
