What if you could learn how to rewire your staffing firm from top to bottom in a single day?
That’s the promise behind SMART IDEAS Summit 5, and it’s a bold one, but you can be sure Haley Marketing will deliver. For the last five years, Haley Marketing has hosted this FREE, must-attend virtual summit for staffing and recruiting professionals.
The event is returning on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025 (Save your seat). This year’s theme, “Reimagine Your Staffing Business,” will challenge you to rethink everything: your strategy, your tools, and even your mindset.
The firms that win in 2025 and 2026 won’t be the biggest; they’ll be those willing to rethink how they create value, sell, and help clients succeed. – David Searns, Co-CEO, Haley Marketing
The Summit is laser-focused on helping staffing and executive search firms reimagine how they sell, recruit, market, and grow in the age of AI.Because what worked yesterday won’t work tomorrow – and the future belongs to the firms that adapt the fastest.
