Booked for the rooms where executive careers get decided.
Conferences, executive education programs, association events and private corporate sessions. Arno speaks at the intersection of recruiting, the hidden job market and the modern executive brand, for audiences that need substance rather than motivation.
Four talks built for senior audiences.
Reverse Recruiting: Why the Senior Hiring Market Is Broken, and What to Build in Its Place
The talk Arno is most often booked for. A diagnosis of why senior leaders lose months to a hiring process that was never built for them, and a practical blueprint for running the search the way a recruiter runs a mandate. Built for conference main stages and executive MBA programs.
LinkedIn for the Algorithm: How Executive Profiles Actually Get Retrieved
A working session, not a slide show. Attendees rebuild their headline, About and Featured architecture against the queries executive recruiters actually run. Built for executive cohorts, peer groups and corporate leadership programs.
The Articulation Gap: Why Senior Leaders Get Filtered Out by Their Own Résumés
The specific document failures that quietly cost executives six-figure outcomes, and the small, disciplined changes that close the gap. Works as a moderated panel anchor.
Executive Positioning Intensives
Closed-door sessions for boards, PE portfolio CEOs and leadership cohorts on building durable executive brand assets. Scope and format are custom; engagements typically run a half-day to two days.
Keynote, workshop, panel or closed door.
Every talk is adapted to the room. Executive MBA cohorts get the mechanics; association audiences get the standards; boards and PE portfolio leadership get the confidential version.

He wrote the standard
As Founding President of the National Reverse Recruiter Association he chairs the body that publishes the profession's standard process, code of ethics and credentials.
He brings the data
Live engagement data from iCareerSolutions: first-interview rates, time to offer by level, which channels produce shortlists, and what recruiters are actually typing into LinkedIn.
