What are Recruiting Leadership Labs?

Recruiting Leadership Labs are one- or two-day, hands-on workshops designed specifically for Corporate Recruiting Leaders. This is not a conference, a death-by-PowerPoint presentation by some academic guru, or some vendor-sponsored sales pitch workshop.  We offer 6 different labs, focused on strategy and engaging executivesbuilding a culture of recruiting and driving changediversity recruiting leadershipdriving recruiting performancesourcing and interview strategy, and our newest lab, leading effective QBRs (quarterly business reviews) with executives.

Why attend?

Companies like Amazon, Target, Disney, Facebook, Intuit, Coca-Cola, Booking, Nike, Activision, and Sephora send their recruiting managers to our leadership labs because they’re real-world, practical, and loaded with actionable templates and strategies that can be put into use right away. They are credibly led by John Vlastelica, founder of global consulting firm Recruiting Toolbox, former head of tech recruiting at Amazon and head of global recruiting at Expedia, and top-rated keynote speaker and trainer.

Am I eligible to attend?

You must be a current corporate recruiting manager to participate.  Sorry, but vendors, agency, RPO recruiting leaders are not eligible.  Similarly, hands-on recruiters are not eligible – you must manage recruiters and lead recruiting for a department or region to be eligible.

If you have questions about your eligibility to register, please contact us.
