Catherine Caserza-Light, CEO | Assessment Leaders
I have co-presented with Mr. Younger at several different forums, including an in-person presentation sponsored by TriNet where there was standing room only. Mr. Younger is a highly sought after, globally recognized speaker and is considered a “true” expert in his field. His presentation style is one of the best I’ve ever seen – relevant, engaging, passionate and very, very informative. I have personally benefited from John’s frequent on-line webinars as well. He presents on many of the most popular hiring topics such as how to recruit top talent, conducting the perfect interview, the increasing demand of RPO, and these are only a few. The webinars are always well-attended and you leave with a “wow” factor and a better understanding.

Here is a sampling of the many quotes from seminar attendees: “Thank you. Great presentation and helpful information even for someone who has been doing this for awhile.” “John and Ray, GREAT webinar! Substantive and enjoyable. Go ND (’79) and GE (Notre Dame Financial Management Program grad) “Instructive webinar. It has encouraged me to look differently at the recruiting and interview process – and hopefully for the better.” “It was better than many that I’ve paid to attend. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next one! “Loved the webinar – you guys did one of the best webinars I’ve ever heard! Thanks for the complimentary guide!”
