Testimonials for Kim Seeling Smith

Over the last 20+ years I have heard 100's of other speakers speak on attracting and retaining staff. Kim was one of the very best I have ever heard. She offers great insight in to todays challenges facing recruiters, hiring managers, and applicants. More importantly she offers tools and techniques to help over come those challenges in a most professional and entertaining way.
I am glad that she had to follow me of the program rather then me having to follow her at the HR Summit in Singapore.

I watched most of the presentations over the two days and you were the shining star. Your ability to state clearly and succinctly what that audience most needed to hear was impressive, indeed. With each session limited to only 45 minutes, most presenters tried to deliver way too much material and, as a result, delivered very little. Of all the presenters, I think you found the perfect balance.
