Improving Quality of Hire
What will you learn?
- How do we lead the work to redefine quality and align our teams on the processes needed to hire the right talent for 2026 and beyond?
- We know top talent demands highly engaged hiring teams, so how do we lead the work to get hiring managers to invest their limited time on the high ROI work that is needed to get our teams top quality talent?
- We have limited capacity, so we’re not going to be able to provide the same level of recruiting support to every req. How do we decide where we must invest in higher touch candidate experiences, more outbound recruiting, more compensation approval exceptions, and more talent advising with our busy hiring managers?
Plus peer-to-peer networking with 19 other corporate recruiting leaders from across geographies and industries.
Next offered: June 9 & 10, 2026.
What are Recruiting Leadership Labs?
Recruiting Leadership Labs are 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 labs focused on preparing for and leading strategic conversations with business executives. All labs include templates to help you articulate your plan and strategy while building your credibility and influencing skills with key keyholders.
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.
