Chris Czarnik
Award-Winning Innovative Keynote Speaker and Author & Subject Matter Expert on Recruiting & Retaining Talent
Winning the War for Talent
Meet Chris:
Watch this short video as Chris introduces himself and his process to fundamentally change the way you recruit, develop and retain talent.
Transforming the Hiring Process and Positively Impacting Employee Development
Chris Czarnik, Award-Winning International Keynote Speaker and Author, is the architect of critical theory, processes and books designed to transform hiring and employee development efforts around the country. He’s known across the globe as the creator of an innovative approach to job search known as “The Human Search Engine®” and for “Winning the War for Talent,” a transformative approach to hiring and team growth and development.
He has spent 20 years figuring out why people leave certain jobs… and what makes them stay.
“I woke up at 40 years old and couldn’t work another day as an Operations Manager at a paper mill. I thought the money would be enough, but I knew that I was in the wrong job and the wrong situation,” Chris says. “I like to think that I’m pretty bright, and I know I have a head for processes, so how did I end up in the wrong place?”
With that mindset, Chris set out to understand why people look for jobs differently than we do other major life choices.
Think about the car you drive, the house you own, the person you decided to marry.
Chances are, you didn’t just see a posting and say, “Hey, that looks neat, I’ll give it a try” without knowing that the car, home, or even the spouse would meet your needs. So why do it with a job?
Chris knows jobs. He knows that a job description isn’t enough. And he knows how to help both job creators and job seekers find each other.
“I’m trying to put myself out of a job,” Chris says. “My goal is to teach people a process that they can use over and over again, regardless of the position. If it’s not implementable, repeatable, auditable, and adaptable it’s just not going to work.”
Chris currently serves as the subject matter expert on recruiting and retaining talent for Vistage Worldwide, the world’s largest executive coaching and peer advisory organization bringing together leaders to learn and grow. He’s available for speaking engagements, in which he delivers dynamic presentations about career search, talent development and leadership training, and also hosts weekly mastermind groups.
Chris has authored several books on the topic of recruiting and developing talent: Job Search Revolution: A Radical Approach to Landing Your Dream Job, Human Search Engine for Career Search, and Winning The War For Talent.
