How to Run a High-Volume Recruiting Event Ask Me Anything (AMA)

High-volume recruiting events can quickly become chaotic. Candidates wait. Hiring managers scramble. HR spends the days leading up to the event answering questions instead of getting ready to hire.

Choctaw Casino & Resort Durant built a different model.

In this live Ask Me Anything (AMA), members of Choctaw’s recruiting team will open up their process and answer your questions about what it takes to run a high-volume hiring event that is faster, more coordinated, and easier to repeat.

The conversation can go wherever the audience needs it to go. Ask about candidate RSVP and pre-screening. Ask how hiring managers are prepared before the event. Ask how HR, Drug Techs, and the Gaming Commission stay coordinated. Ask what they measure, what has gone wrong, what they have changed over time, or what they would recommend to a team trying to build a similar model.

Rather than a traditional presentation, this session is built around your questions and Choctaw’s real-world experience.

This Ask Me Anything (AMA) is also a preview of the conversation coming to the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit, November 10-11 in San Diego, where the Choctaw team will go deeper into the process, lessons learned, and operating model behind their high-volume recruiting events.

Areas of discussion:

• Pre-Event Planning & Candidate Flow
Learn about the work that happens before event day, from RSVP and intake to screening and hiring manager preparation.

• Stakeholder Coordination & Event Execution
Explore how multiple teams work together, how responsibilities are divided, and how Choctaw keeps the day moving when volume is high.

• Results, Lessons Learned & Building a Repeatable Model
Dig into what Choctaw measures, what they have changed over time, and what other TA teams can learn from their approach.

Bring your toughest questions. The goal is to make this a practical, candid conversation about what actually works.
