Hiring days promise speed, efficiency, and better outcomes. But do they deliver? We've run enough of them to know what works — and where they go horribly wrong.
What We'll Cover
- •The case for hiring days — why companies are compressing multi-week processes into a single day
- •The good — when hiring days work brilliantly and the outcomes that justify the effort
- •The bad — the logistics, candidate experience pitfalls, and internal alignment failures that trip teams up
- •The ugly — real stories from hiring days that went sideways, and what we learned
- •The playbook — what we'd do differently now, and when a hiring day is (and isn't) the right call
Who Should Attend
- •Heads of Talent, People & Culture, and TA leaders considering hiring days
- •Hiring managers and founders running high-volume or time-sensitive hiring
- •Revenue leaders who need to scale teams fast without sacrificing quality
- •Anyone who's been told "just run a hiring day" and wants to know if it's worth it
