About HRSS Lunch Breaks:
A full virtual learning calendar, without the work.
HR Summer School Lunch Breaks provides HR groups and chapters with a turnkey, non-salesy virtual education series so volunteer leaders can focus on community rather than coordination.
Since 2020, HR Summer School speakers and content have touched the lives of more than 25,000 HR professionals around the world. At the same time, chapter and state-level HR leaders across the US are having trouble:
- Managing an ongoing virtual event schedule
- Working with a limited speaker budget
- Finding educational, interesting, and non-salesy speakers for their events
- Dealing with HRCI/SHRM recertification credit submissions
And the list goes on!
Volunteer HR leaders have their hands full with local networking and events, so why spend extra time creating a virtual event schedule? HR Summer School Lunch Breaks are essentially an outsourced virtual learning opportunity for HR professionals and groups to share with their members and audiences. And the benefits are compelling:
- Access high-quality speakers across a range of topics
- Logistics are handled for you--simply invite your group members to participate
- We support on-demand access and attendee tracking
- Our team engages the audience and makes them feel like the valuable members of the community that they truly are
- Get a minimum of 12 amazing speakers for the same cost that many groups pay for one virtual keynote!

Beyond The Resume:
Designing a Candidate Experience That Reflects Who We Are as Employers
Behind every application is a person navigating uncertainty, pressure, and possibility. The candidate experience is more than a process; it’s a reflection of your organization’s values in action. When communication is delayed, feedback is absent, or candidates are left in silence, the impact extends far beyond a single role.
Organizations that lead in today’s talent landscape recognize a simple truth: how you treat candidates is how your brand is experienced. Respect, transparency, and timely communication aren’t a “nice to have”; they are business imperatives that shape reputation, trust, and long-term talent pipelines.
- Humanize every touchpoint: Build processes that acknowledge the emotional and professional investment candidates make at every stage.
- Close the communication gap: Consistent updates and thoughtful feedback create trust, even when the answer is no.
- Align experience with brand: Your hiring process should reflect the same culture, respect, and values you expect employees to experience after day one.
