Random Act of Kindness Friday

Random Acts of Kindness (RAKs) are one of the cornerstones of our business. We believe if you put kindness out into the world, and you do so without expectation of reciprocation, wonderful things will happen for you. Whether it’s the people you help, the people they tell, or the people who see you do it – your value is “leaked” into the world.

We believe in this concept so much, each year we take four Fridays and we do a two to four hour session with a bit of training and lots of QA. Show up, ask us any recruiting related question and we’ll answer it. 

It doesn’t get much better than that. No cost, no obligation. You don’t even have to ask questions. If you want to attend and eavesdrop, be our guest.

Watch the 2026 RAK Friday Where We Announced Our Retirement

Normally, we don’t let you view the recordings beyond the weekend after the event, but we’re retiring, and we figured this was a good random act. This will stay up, and only be replaced if we do a pop-up RAK Friday in 2026!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
