Keynote Speaker: Chris Czarnik

Revolutionizing Talent in the Modern Workforce

Chris has transformed hiring and development in the workforce. As a former military officer and seasoned HR manager, his journey began with a vision to redefine job search methodologies. This vision led to the creation of “The Human Search Engine,” a groundbreaking approach embraced by the US Congress as a national standard.

But the evolution didn’t stop there. Recognizing the substantial shifts in workforce dynamics and demographics, Chris redefined the talent acquisition process. This process reduces the turnover rate. Chris will help you retain and develop that talent, growing the next generation of leaders in your company. His book, Winning the War for Talent, isn’t just a publication; it’s a manifesto for change, guiding over 3,500 organizations nationwide.

Today, as organizations grapple with unprecedented challenges in hiring and retaining top talent, his role transcends into that of a coach. Chris is a strategist, an innovator, and a trusted advisor, reengineering the structure of talent management. Through customized, process-based solutions, he empowers CEO’s, leaders, and organizations to not just fill positions, but to cultivate work environments where talent thrives and business objectives are surpassed.

As a Subject Matter Expert and a top speaker for Vistage, the world’s largest CEO coaching network, the mission is clear: to equip organizations with the tools and insights to win their own wars for talent. In this era of constant change, traditional methods falter. Chris’s expertise doesn’t just fill gaps; it reinvents how organizations perceive and nurture their most valuable asset – their people.
