This year’s summit was a wonderful 360-degree overview of tips and tricks — it’s so hard to choose just one thing!
Amy — Doherty Staffing Solutions
Loved the pace of the summit. The presenters are on point and I like that they are in 30-minute increments.
Brion — Ad-Vance Talent Solutions
The breadth of content in digestible segments.
Terry — Access Capital
The presenters gave real in-depth information. Very often panels like this give canned, generic presentations — not this one.
Nick — Stonehenge Resources
There was something for everyone! Sales, recruiting, marketing, CEOs, CFOs — like being at a buffet filled with staffing industry info.
Nancy — Gallman Personnel Services
Every speaker spoke directly to my pain points. Each session felt like it was crafted with my challenges in mind.
Christin — L-Staff
The speaker line up was amazing… I also enjoyed that you all kept to the timeframe and people didn’t ramble on. But most important would be the content that was provided.
Angela — Hamilton-Ryker
I don’t think I’ve seen any organization pull off an all-day event that well, and with exceptional content, before.
