Testimonials

With more than 25 years experience in organization development, a Bachelors degree in Business Administration, and Masters and PhD work in Human and Organization Development, John is well-equipped to help you maximize your investment in new employees.  He has helped companies reduce employee turnover from 40% to 5%, and has reduced cost-per-hire by as much as 67%.

When not working with clients, John is active in church leadership roles, sings in an award-winning barbershop quartet, and tries to spend as many summer hours as possible cruising the Ohio River on his houseboat.

 

It was frustrating at first. John recommended that we pass on people who we thought were good candidates for our Portfolio Manager position. Without his help we would have hired a below-average performer. In the end, we decided to promote an internal candidate and hire our best external applicant in a junior level position.

In most European countries you can ask just about anything you want in the selection interview, but it’s nearly impossible to fire someone for poor performance. John helped me define what would make a person successful in our group, then guided me through the process of getting the very best person for the job. I’m no longer concerned about employee turnover. We’re making better choices up front.

I always thought that I was a good judge of character. John showed me how to be a good judge of value. The people we have hired since partnering with John are “keepers.”
