    "Mike was hired to lead the U.S. Human Resources team. After three months of demonstrating a strong work ethic and ability to manage multiple projects, Mike was promoted to global head of HR & Office Management overseeing the entire HR organization across 6 countries.

     

    He consolidated the global HR function and redesigned recruitment and on-boarding processes. Mike’s most significant contribution was the implementation of the company’s performance management process, including the development and execution of a management training program. Mike led several effective initiatives to maintain high employee morale during difficult periods for the organization. It was a pleasure to work with him."

    "Mike is an excellent HR professional. He came into a turn-around situation and completely revamped our recruiting process, allowing us to recruit, hire and train staff to meet an extremely challenging seasonal business model. He also negotiated a much better benefits package, which helped in both recruiting and retention.

     

    Mike is a true HR expert. He's highly self-motivated and can manage his part of the business independently. He also manages up well: we would meet weekly to cover his activities, and then as needed when particular situations required my input. He's great to work with, and I would hire him again."

    “By far the best HR experience ever. Always available for counsel. A 20 minute call and a few follow up emails helped me launch an innovative internship program that would have otherwise cost thousands of dollars.”
