You're Not Here by Accident

You’re searching for a way to close more deals. A way to do your
job better. You want to make more money in less time. We’re all about that. 

Here's What Else We're All About

We’re Recruiters

There are trainers who were recruiters, trainers who never were recruiters, and us. Trainers who remain actively involved in recruiting. We test our techniques before we train them. You only see what works, and never the theory of someone who doesn’t have anything at risk.

We Believe in Kindness

We try to do an act of kindness every day. But don’t confuse kindness with being nice or weak. If someone ignores the spinach in your teeth, they’re being nice. If someone lets you know, so you can fix the problem, they’re being kind. It’s harder to be kind than nice, yet it’s important.

Thought Diversity

Too often a trainer will tell you they have the right way to do something. When someone tells you their way is the only way, run. Different viewpoints are valid, and we’re always learning from others. If you think you’re perfect, you stopped improving. Read our Defining Characteristics for more insight into our approach.

Morality Matters

We are on a mission to civilize the recruiting industry. For too long has a base level of corruption been acceptable (even bragged about) among recruiters and those who train them. Together, we can stop the few bad apples from hurting us, our clients, and our candidates.

We Enjoy Life

We go on trips and adventures. We love Disney and Star Wars and about a dozen other things you may find immature. We laugh in every class because we love what we’re doing. We know if we make class entertaining you will remember more of it, which means you get more out of your investment. We want you to experience life that way too.

President and US Pharmacy Recruitment Consultant

Tricia is a great trainer; knowledgeable and informative while also keeping it fun and applicable.

Megan Crawford

Human Resources @ Kreg Tool Company

Tricia really knows her stuff! She and Jason have created an excellent class that started paying for itself after the first session. The follow up and support ongoing have also been very helpful. I highly recommend it!

Tanner Smith

Entrepreneur/General Contractor

Tricia is a very talented, consciences, organized teacher who, almost more importantly, is an expert in what she is teaching. I learned invaluable material that will help my company prosper for a long time to come. I highly suggest Tricia for any position you may have that demands a high-speed, organized, process-oriented, individual with applicable experience!

Steve Faulkner, CEBS

I partner with Employee Benefits companies to recruit top sales

I have taken a number of one off seminars on boolean searching but none have come close to value I received from taking Tricia’s (and Jason’s) class. I recommend it to any recruiter who is serious about learning how to use the internet to get a search started; and what good recruiter isn’t?

Cutting edge recruitment technology expert! Official hybrid of a ninja and eSourcerer.

Samuel Ebeyer

Assistant Operations Manager at Torq/Lite

Tricia is a consummate professional with an extensive understanding of the logic and syntax necessary for effective e-Sourcing. Her methods have been extremely useful and I have immediately utilized what I have learned with success. The world is changing; e-Sourcing is the equivalent of using an excavator when I’d grown accustomed to using a shovel. There is a learning curve but with a little practice and a little study, the methods will speak for themselves.

Lindsey S.

Talent Acquisition Consultant

Tricia provided a fast-paced content full webinar that was both interesting and applicable to my learning requirements. She provided her expertise in a manner that was easy to understand and we were able to use everything we were learning right from the first class.

Medical and Dental Industry Recruiter

Question: Can you recommend someone that is an expert trainer in internet search techniques for the recruiting industry? Google Search: “rock star” trainer “boolean logic” “(esourcing OR “e-sourcing”) (training OR program OR webinar)” (“black magic” OR hacker OR genius OR expert) -boring -dull ~amazing Results: Tricia Tamkin, ECRE and Jason Thibeault, ECRE

Cara Houshmand, MPA

Career Coach

I highly recommend Tricia and Jason’s eSSentials: An Intro to eSourcing. It is much more than Boolean searching and they delve into the why’s and how behind it so you walk away with a deep understanding and ability to effectively put all of the information together. I was finding better candidates after week 1, 4 sessions later and I am routinely finding those “purple squirrels” in less time that it used to find mediocre candidates. Tricia title of Master of sorcery is well deserved.

Nadeen Bennett

V.P of Human Resources

I had the pleasure of attending a two day in house e-sourcing clinic with Tricia as our leader. She was able to in plain english explain how to use the tools to take our business to the next level. She ensured that everyone was “good to go” before moving on and took the time needed. It was two days very well spent!
