Book John to speak.

What he talks about

Eight subjects, all of them things Recruiting Toolbox teaches for a living rather than topics assembled for a stage. Talks are cut to the room: the same material lands differently for a TA leadership offsite and an all-hands of hiring managers.

How to get him in the room

Three steps, and the first one is a paragraph in an email.

1

Send the brief

Who is in the room, what they are wrestling with, the date, and whether you want a keynote, a working session or a conversation.

2

A call to scope it

What the audience already believes, where the resistance will come from, and what a good outcome looks like to you.

3

He cuts it to your room

Your industry and your stage of hiring worked into the examples, rather than a stock deck with your logo on the first slide.

What rooms say afterwards

Bloomberg

He really understood our problems, culture, and opportunities, and made the content really relatable and actionable.
