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.
You already know what is not working in your hiring pipeline. What is harder to get is an honest read from someone doing the same job somewhere else, with the same volume and the same pressure, telling you what actually moved their numbers and what did not.
This lunch puts twelve CHROs and TA leaders from healthcare, hospitality, retail, and frontline-heavy industries in one room to trade that kind of information directly. What is cutting time to fill right now. What got funded and quietly failed. Where AI is earning real trust in sourcing and screening, and where it is just adding a step nobody asked for.
What You Walk Away With
A gut check on your own numbers against people running the same kind of team, not a benchmark report
At least a few tactics worth trying that someone in the room has already tested
A short list of peers you can call the next time something breaks, not just business cards
An unscripted two hours with people who talk straight because nobody in the room is selling anything
Lunch, with time built in afterward to keep the conversation going
AJ Richichi will be at the table. AJ wrote Hourly, the Amazon number one bestseller on recruiting and retaining hourly workers, and he is working on a follow-up, The Future of (Hourly) Work. He will bring some of that thinking into the room, and he is easy to keep talking to after the formal part ends.
