Don Troudy, VP Human Resources | Everett Charles Technologies
I have to share with you this highlight. One of the Company Presidents I work for shared with me that he knew about your hiring system several years ago but failed to implement it then. When I joined the Company and re‐introduced him to the Success Factor Methodology system, this same President shared with me that he regretted not implementing your system years ago. He expressed to me that if he had implemented your system three years ago, his company’s revenues today would have exceeded $100 million in annual sales instead of holding steady at $65 million for the past three years. He attributes this stagnation and lack of company growth to the poor hiring decisions his management team has made over the past three years.
Les Whitney, Vistage Chair | Vistage Internationa.
I want to compliment you on your presentation style. You have an engaging, fast moving, and fun style. You held everyone's interest throughout the 3 hour presentation. There is an ease to your presentation style that invites questions and promotes interaction. I will be letting all my fellow Vistage Chairs know that your presentation is a "can't miss" in their plans for 2012 and beyond.
Les Walker, CEO | DocuSource
I want to thank you for your presentation of “You’re NOT The Person I Hired” to our management team. The feedback for the team has been excellent. They were engaged with our presentation style, you answered their questions honestly and most important of all they learned a lot about the right way to hire. We have implemented the concepts from your presentation and have noticed a significant improvement in our interviewing and hiring standards. We are actively implementing your ideas on attracting top talent and are seeing the pay-off with the caliber of candidates we are attracting. There was great concern from the team regarding the need for this, it is clear from the feedback and the results we have received the time was well spent.
Bud Carter, Vistage Chair | Vistage International
I've heard literally hundreds of speakers on business topics over the more than 20 years I've served as Chairman for two groups of CEOs - few, very few, have delivered a message that resonated as well as Brad Remillard's. His no-nonsense, bottom line up approach to hiring will significantly reduce the number of bad hires, and hence the turnover, in my member's companies. Remillard demonstrates conclusively that a hiring interview can be a high probability predictor of the likely on the job success of every candidate.
Cal Laird, Board Of Directors | Harvard Business School Association of Orange County
There was a great, positive energy created by Brad’s approach to the topic; pulling in audience participation and real-life examples of do’s and don’ts. He is clearly an expert at engaging an audience and making his subject matter meaningful to his audience in a very practical, real-world way. Brad also responded extremely well to the Q&A segment of our program, which, due to the nature of our group requires extraordinarily good listening and “think on your feet” skills. I have had the pleasure of participating in numerous programs over the last 10 years where Brad was either the primary speaker or the emcee. He has always had a special knack for connecting with his audience, whether it is large or small.
