…that make me blush with pride!
“Jeff is one of the few recruiting industry trainers I have invested money in that delivers quality, useable, actionable techniques that have had immediate results the same day those techniques were put to use. Concepts from his “Radical Reference Checking” seminar among others – were immediately used by [our] recruiters THAT SAME DAY! In fact after each of his lessons there’s a mad rush to re-write our document templates and improve our standard forms! His lesson on using testimonial letters in “Everywhere, Always & with Everyone” reminded us to revisit a practice we had employed during our founding… which we had ignored for years… I have never sat in on anything Jeff has spoken about that I could describe as a waste of my time… He’s fast, to the point, under-promises and over-delivers. Yes… he may be unique. Sure he’s a maverick. And quite possibly be perceived as having unconventional approaches. Isn’t this what our industry needs: Leaders that stretch and test the limits of of old conventions? ” January 15, 2010

“In my opinion Jeff Skrentny is the best recruiting industry trainer out there. The difference to me is that he teaches real-life recruiting techniques that have truly worked for him. Jeff is still, and will probably always be, a Big-Billing recruiter who is constantly looking for what is changing in our world and how we can all take advantage of these changes to maximize our placements. Whether you decide to use Jeff as a recruiter, or trainer, you will not be disappointed. In both of these roles, he will exceed your expectations.” April 1, 2009

“I first had the pleasure of meeting Jeff by interviewing him for the XtremeRecruiting web site in 2002. Since then I have watched Jeff as he has grown into one of the recruiting industries leading speakers and trainers. Jeff has a message delivered with enthusiasm and excitement that is unmatched in the recruiting industry speaker circuit. Not only is he a great speaker and trainer but truly a fine human being that I am proud to call a friend. If you need guidance, advice or a really terrific speaker look no further than Jeff Skrentny. Great guy!” June 20, 2007

“As Speaker Chair for (NEAPS) the Northern New England Association of Personnel Services I had the pleasure of hiring Jeff as a speaker for our annual collaborative conference of NH, MA, VT, ME, and CT. As always, Jeff is a headliner. His candor, spirit and sense of humor is the “example” of our industry’s professional excellence. His preparedness is always “there” and on the mark for our audiences. I’ve attended many of Jeff’s presentaions and he adds wisdom to my book of knowledge year after year whenever I hear him speak. Thanks Jeff, for being an icon of our industry.” May 20, 2009

“In my 5 yrs. as an executive recruiter / Practice Director I have sat through a lot of training sessions; some good…some bad. That being said, I don’t know that I have ever taken away more “original thought” type ideas and “ah-hahs” than I did from the Jeff Skrentny training I had the pleasure of attending. He is truly an innovative thinker, with an innate ability to translate his ideas to a relevant, engaging and energetic training session. I will recommend him to anyone I meet, looking to increase their recruiting organization’s billing through comprehensive training.” April 16, 2009

“I saw Jeff present in New Orleans at the Fordyce Forum in June and was so impressed, I recommended him to be the key trainer at the NPA Asia-Pacific Conference to address recruiters predominantly from Asia, Australia and North America. Jeff delivered a one day workshop in Singapore and did not disappoint. He is intelligent, creative and entertaining and managed to inform and educate a diverse range of recruiters from different industries, acros cultures and at varting levels of experience. I highly recommend Jeff as a top quality trainer who understands the business as he also woks a desk.” November 22, 2007

“I recently participated in an on-line webinar Jeff conducted in conjunction with Top Echelon Network (www.topechelon.com). My comments & observations are as follows: EASILY EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS! No question……………..some of the very BEST training dollars I’ve spent. The handouts are OVER-THE-TOP. Don’t delay (seriously) in taking advantage of all that Jeff has to offer to get your desk started if you’re a new recruiter, or just “sharpening your ax” if you’ve been around for a while. -Denise Zusack, JD Information Technologies, Inc.

“Jeff Skrentny is one of the finest speakers/trainers in the recruiting industry today. This largely comes from successfully working his desk every week using the latest skills/techniques and proven systems that he has worked hard to perfect. He is a high-energy professional who accomplishes much. I have heard him speak many times, attended roundtable events with him and enjoyed a ballgame with him. He is a pleasure and a pro! He comes with my highest recommendation.” May 22, 2007

“I have had an opportunity to both hire Jeff as a speaker/trainer for NAPS (our national professional association) as well as observe him as a keynote and breakout session trainer for state, regional and other professional search and staffing associations across the country. Jeff has outstanding knowledge of the industry as well as a warm, engaging style that allows his audience to relate to him extremely well. His message is always delivered in a clear and forthright style with lots of real-world examples. The audience always has valuable take-aways and always leave feeling enriched by his session. It’s clear Jeff puts his whole heart and all of his energy into ensuring that the message he presents is timely and delivered in a way that engages people. Jeff has become one of the most sought-after and in-demand speakers for the search and staffing industry – a well deserved distinction.” October 20, 2008
