Her presentation was quick moving and kept the audience’s attention and participation in a very entertaining format. She is a truly experienced human resource professional with definitive understanding of the importance of the hiring process.

What I learned will go a long way in developing my company’s plan for better hiring. I enthusiastically recommend this program.
