ICHRA vs. The World: How do they compare to other ACA options for staffing companies? (Wednesday, June 24, 2026)

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

ICHRA vs. The World: How do they compare to other ACA options for staffing companies?

Navigating ACA compliance as a staffing company has never been more complex—or more critical to get right. As costs rise and workforce dynamics shift, many employers are asking: What is the best way to balance cost, risk, and employee choice?

Join us for a fast-paced discussion where we break down how Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) stack up against traditional ACA strategies—and what it means for your bottom line, compliance risk, and workforce satisfaction.

Whether you're exploring alternatives or pressure-testing your current approach, this session will give you clarity and actionable insight.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

How ICHRAs work and why they’re gaining traction in staffing
Key differences between ICHRAs and traditional ACA plans (MEC, MVP, and fully insured options)
Cost, compliance, and risk trade-offs every staffing firm should understand
Real-world scenarios where ICHRAs outperform—or fall short—so you can make smarter decisions

Who Should Attend:

Staffing firm owners and executives
Finance and operations leaders
HR and Benefits professionals
Anyone seeking to better understand ACA compliance solutions for staffing companies

Beyond SEO: How to Win Visibility in the Age of AI Search (Wednesday, August 05, 2026)

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Beyond SEO: How to Win Visibility in the Age of AI Search

August 5th @12pm

Staffing buyers don’t just “Google it” anymore. Today, they ask ChatGPT. They rely on AI overviews. And in over 65% of searches, they never even click a link. If your firm is still optimizing for yesterday’s search behavior, you’re invisible and losing job orders and candidates without realizing it.

In this session, we’ll breakdown the new world of search; SEO, AIO, GEO, and AEO and show you exactly how staffing firms can build visibility in an AI-driven landscape. No fluff. No jargon. Just a practical roadmap to get your firm seen and chosen in 2026.

Key Takeaways:

· The 4 MUST-KNOW acronyms for visibility in 2026 and how they directly impact your job orders and inbound leads.

· Why outdated SEO strategies are causing a drop in website traffic, candidate applications, and employer inquiries even if your site “ranks well.”

· How to get your firm listed in AI-generated recommendations (like Google AI Summaries and ChatGPT) and reclaim lost visibility in local and niche markets.

· Simple steps to boost credibility and conversions on your website.

· What the smartest staffing firms are doing now to generate demand, drive more qualified traffic, and future-proof their lead flow.
