Hiring Fast Without Breaking Something: A CHRO Lunch
A closed-door lunch for CHROs and TA leaders hiring at volume. Twelve people in the room, no pitches, no vendor booths.
Every high-volume hiring team has a different answer for what's actually moving speed to hire right now. Fewer have a room to test that answer against people doing the same job at a different company.
This lunch brings together a small group of CHROs and TA leaders from healthcare, hospitality, retail, and frontline-heavy industries to compare notes directly. What's cutting time to fill. What's not working despite the investment. Where AI is actually earning trust in sourcing and screening, and where it's just adding a step.
You can expect an unscripted conversation among peers, not a panel or a pitch. Real numbers and real tradeoffs from people running TA for high-volume teams right now. A small enough room that everyone talks, not just the person with the mic. And lunch, with time built in to keep talking after.
AJ Richichi will be at the table. AJ wrote Hourly, the Amazon #1 best-seller on recruiting and retaining hourly workers, and he's got a follow-up in the works, The Future of (Hourly) Work. He'll bring some of that thinking into the room.
Monday, September 21, 2026, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM. Lytical Ventures, 250 W 55th St, 37th Floor, New York, NY 10019.
Invite-only, kept to 12 seats on purpose — please RSVP by September 12 to hold your spot.
