Why Chicago Recruiting Forum?

For us it is not about the amount of time we spend on our customer’s project or deliverables but the value and ROI we create for their business through our solutions. We work with our customers to determine what financial value will be created over what time frame by solving the problem they are facing. This is based on their current state data on costs for headcount, technology and marketing along with efficiency metrics.

Our role as consultants is to challenge the status quo and not be another YES person. Not only do we challenge our thinking but also that of our customers to do things differently, consider new opportunities and realize their full potential.

Our goal is to deliver anywhere from 3-10X ROI on the money our customers spend on our solutions. By optimizing their Recruiting function, our customers could realize 5-15% cost savings through the right model, brand reinvention, improved Recruiter efficiency, AI-powered technology stack, reduced media spend and talent pipeline development.
