Scheduled for Sept. 23, SMART IDEAS Summit 5 is a free, full-day virtual event designed to help staffing and recruiting professionals reimagine their business in the age of AI and automation. Hosted by Haley Marketing, the Summit offers expert-led sessions on sales, marketing, recruiting, and digital transformation. Attendees will get a front-row seat to the strategies top firms are using to thrive, and a first look at Haley Marketing's new AI-powered marketing content creation and automation platform built for the staffing industry.
WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y., July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Haley Marketing, the leading website development, digital, and recruitment marketing firm serving the temporary staffing and executive recruiting industries, is excited to announce its fifth annual SMART IDEAS Summit, taking place virtually on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
SMART IDEAS Summit 5 is a complimentary, full-day online educational experience created for staffing and recruiting professionals. Featuring fast-paced, idea-rich presentations from top consultants, industry thought leaders, and subject matter experts from Haley Marketing and Recruiters Websites, the Summit will showcase how forward-thinking staffing firms are embracing AI, automation, and smarter strategies to reimagine how they sell, recruit, and grow.
Haley Marketing Co-CEO David Searns shared his perspective on the Summit's importance:
"The staffing industry is fundamentally changing, and the old sales and marketing playbook is dead. New tools, tactics, and rules are reshaping how staffing firms must operate. As a result, the firms that win in 2025 and 2026 won't be the biggest; they'll be the most adaptable: willing to rethink how they create value, sell, and help clients succeed.
"This year's theme, 'Reimagine Your Staffing Business,' is a rallying cry for agencies to embrace bold, forward-thinking strategies. With global instability, new online marketplaces, and AI systemically shifting the landscape, SMART IDEAS Summit 5 is our way of giving back to an industry that's given so much to us – by sharing fresh insights, proven strategies, and a bold look at what's next."
