STARoundtable Membership
What is the STARoundtable?
Membership in STARoundtable is by invitation or nomination from a current member. Currently, STARoundtable operates in the Southern California market, with more markets to come. Membership is limited to organizations based or having significant operations and recruiting and staffing functions within each individual region. Members may come from any size organization, but typically come from large and mid-sized organizations who have a full-cycle, recruiting and staffing function. Small organizations are welcome as well. Generally, small organizations with a full-cycle, recruiting and staffing function are very valued to the conversations for their unique viewpoints. Organizations that are publicly traded, privately held, or headquartered outside of the US but have operations within the region are welcome to participate. In addition, public organizations (such as government agencies, educational institutions, etc.), are also welcome to the STARoundtable as long as they have full-cycle, recruiting and staffing functions and would add value to the overall membership
Organizations that market or sell to the corporate or organizational staffing and recruiting function are not allowed access to membership. Specifically, as examples, this includes third-party recruiting firms (search firms, staffing agencies, etc.), recruitment media providers (job boards, and employment websites), recruitment technology firms, etc.
Although membership is by invitation or nomination, membership approval is democratic. Prior to a new member being invited to join the STARoundtable, the current membership of the roundtable is polled to gather acceptance. New members are invited based on the approval of the majority of current members. Because the STARoundtable is a “safe”, discreet, and completely open forum for sharing information, the membership is often restricted (based upon current members direction) to single organization representative in a particular business, industry, or vertical. For example, there may be several banks in a particular region that would be eligible for invitation to a regional STARoundtable. If there is already a member of the STARoundtable representing a community bank, other community banks who may be interested in/or invited to consider membership, may not be approved due to competitive issues. However, a commercial bank, focused on commercial lending…may be approved for membership because the current members felt comfortable with the competitive issues. The local STARoundtable regional facilitator will mediate all membership approval questions and disputes, if any.
Typically, prospective members attend their first meeting in the roundtable as a guest (the STARoundtable provides their seat on a complimentary basis), pending approval by the rest of the current members.
Membership Benefits
Comprehensive New Member Intake and Orientation
Upon approval as a new member, each primary representative participates in a comprehensive new member intake process with the STARoundtable regional facilitator. This intake session involves either an in-person or telephone meeting where comprehensive information about the member’s organization, recruiting and staffing processes, team structure, etc. are discussed. In addition, the facilitator will drive deeply into organizational and individual leadership priorities for the member organization to be able to tailor the roundtable discussions and research for the future roundtable meetings.
Professionally Facilitated Quarterly Roundtables
Each STARoundtable region hosts a “three-quarter day” (8:30AM-3:00PM) each quarter (four per year). Each member is allowed one primary representative and up to three additional representatives in their membership. Attendance at each roundtable is limited to 30 participants. Primary representatives receive priority seating, and seating for additional representatives are on a space available basis. Typically, these programs are hosted by a STARoundtable member organization at their facilities or in a high-end, executive conference center environment aligned to a premier university or academic institution.
STARoundtable Resource Binder
At each quarterly roundtable meeting, each participant will receive a STARoundtable Resource Binder with hard copies of all materials and research being discussed during that roundtable. All materials are also available in soft-copy via download in the STARoundtable Library.
STARoundtable Handset
Unique to the STARoundtable quarterly roundtable meetings is the use of high-tech, audience response handheld technology: The STARoundtable Handset. Throughout the roundtable, facilitators and presenters will ask questions requiring the use of the STARoundtable Handset. Responses are immediately, and wirelessly transmitted anonymously for the entire group to see. The use of the handheld technology throughout the workshop increases the learning experience for the participants. The use of the STARoundtable Handset allows your facilitators and presenters the ability to:
