In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Quorso, Veloq, and SmartScout, Chris Walton welcomes back resident talent expert Jenn Hahn, founder and CEO of J Recruiting Services. With retail layoffs, AI-driven hiring decisions, and holiday shopping already in full swing, Jenn brings her recruiting expertise and operator perspective to a week full of questions about the future of retail.
The episode also kicks off with this month’s OmniStar Award, presented in partnership with Quorso, recognizing Kevin Iverson, Zone Training Director at Family Dollar, for his longstanding contributions to the retail industry and support of Omni Talk.
Chris and Jenn dig into five of the biggest stories in retail this week, including:
The episode wraps with a Halloween-themed lightning round covering the best and worst candy to hand out, Chris’s memorable Darth Vader costume, the return of Shabby Chic at Target, and the age-old debate over when it’s officially acceptable to start playing Christmas music.
