For staffing firms and RPOs filling industrial roles, speed decides who wins the placement. The bar decides who keeps the client. Doing both at once is the hardest and most important skill your team has.
Join leaders from Express Employment Professionals and Advanced RPO who run this math every week. They'll share how they compress time-to-submit, hold quality standards under client pressure, and protect the stages of their process where slowing down actually wins them more placements.


Hear how a staffing franchise co-owner and an RPO recruitment strategist each navigate the speed-versus-quality pressure from different sides of the industry.



Each session stands on its own. Register for one, two, or all three. Every registration includes the full 2026 State of Industrial Hiring Report.
For lean hiring teams bearing the brunt of the qualified candidate shortage. Two one-person recruiting operations share how they manage the gap between what's expected and what the labor market allows.
How the best teams balance speed and quality. Where they're compressing timelines, where they stay deliberate, and how defining "qualified" upfront changes everything downstream.
What AI adoption actually looks like inside industrial hiring teams today. Where it's working, where teams have held back, and what it takes to close the trust gap.
We analyzed 1.2 million applications across 15,500 roles, surveyed 83 TA and HR professionals, and published the findings in the FactoryFix 2026 Industrial Hiring Benchmark Report.The data tells you what's happening across the industry. This session puts you in the room with two hiring leaders who are using that same data to make different decisions about where they source, how they prioritize roles, and what they've stopped doing.

Episode 2 is for the people who measure their week in time-to-submit, fill rate, and client retention. If you run a staffing firm or RPO team placing industrial and skilled-trades talent, this hour was built for you.
