“Your content is AWESOME! Super relevant, so many great takeaways that can be implemented today. Where was your teaching when I started out in recruiting some 20 years ago?! Your trainings centered around so many common pain points in our field. Learning diversity recruitment strategy, the importance of debriefs and leading strategy sessions (not the dreaded “intake meeting!“), leveraging data, metrics and insights relevant to the hiring manager. As a lifer in the field, these learnings have been so valuable. Rock on. And thank you.”
“John, in addition to [your training] helping IC’s and by proxy, leaders, you do a hell of a job articulating how to handle complex relationships in a simple, digestible way. It is just great!”
“With my 15 years of experience in TA, I still learned so much from your training. You helped me get my dream job as Head of Talent Acquisition this month. I truly believe that aside from years of hard work a big part of getting this opportunity came from attending your training. Your style of delivery is so simple and enjoyable, you are so humble and pleasant in your delivery, and your content is just so well designed, very informative and practical. Thank you!”
“My company started using Social Talent this year. I’m getting so much out of your learning paths. For the first time in a very long time I feel like I’m being developed as a TA professional. Kudos to you and keep up the great work!”
