Recruiting Strategy Your Team Can Use Monday
Chris Sund is President & COO of Uniti Med, GQR Healthcare, and Nebula — businesses that live or die on recruiter performance. He speaks to TA audiences about objections, req load, candidate experience, and recruiter burnout from the seat where those problems land.
Your Recruiters Do Not Need Another Sourcing Webinar
Talent acquisition audiences are some of the most over-trained and under-supported people at any conference. They know the tools. What wears them down is the objection they cannot answer, the hiring manager who will not move, and the req list that never gets shorter. Chris speaks to that reality, and to the leaders responsible for keeping recruiters in the seat.
- A repeatable framework for handling hiring and candidate objections
- Why recruiter turnover quietly destroys fill rates and time-to-hire
- Candidate experience as a competitive weapon, not a survey score
- Selling the role when you cannot win on compensation
- Original research: 92% of professionals believe they are capable of more

What TA Planners Ask
Is this a tactical session or a keynote?
Either. The objections material works as a hands-on breakout with live practice; the culture and potential material works as a general session. Most conferences book both.
Will it land with both recruiters and TA leaders?
Yes. The tactics speak to recruiters; the retention and leadership content speaks to the people responsible for keeping them. Chris sits on the leadership side and built the recruiting floor.
Is the content healthcare-specific?
It does not have to be. Healthcare is where Chris operates, so the examples run deep there, but the objection handling and candidate experience frameworks apply to any high-volume recruiting environment.
Does this qualify for SHRM or HRCI credit?
Chris provides session descriptions, learning objectives, and credentials in the format your certification submission requires. Ask during booking.
You Are Capable of More
The bestselling book behind the keynotes — ten principles for closing the gap between what a team is producing and what it is actually capable of. It is the framework your attendees hear on stage, in a form they can hand to their recruiters on Monday.
Conferences regularly pair a keynote with copies for attendees. Bulk pricing and signed editions are available.
He Built the Floor He Talks About
Chris took Uniti Med from startup to one of the largest healthcare staffing firms in the country: 10x revenue growth, #3 fastest-growing in the Midwest on the Inc. Regionals, and a Fortune Best Workplaces award along the way — all of it built on recruiters.
He serves as Vice President of the NATHO board, founded the Amplify Speakers bureau, and is a Maxwell Leadership Certified coach and bestselling author. He writes for Inc. and is a Forbes Business Council member.
For a TA audience, that means the objections in the session are ones he has heard this quarter, not ones he found in a book.
