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!

President / Professional Agricultural Recruiter at AGRI-SEARCH

Tricia and Jason are exceptional teachers with an uncanny way of getting the concepts across to their students. We had three of our staff involved in the class and we were all very well pleased with the results. They share an amazing ability to clearly and concisely answer questions and present complicated information so that it is very easy to understand…even for those of us who didn’t grow up with computers!

I took essentials through Tricia January 2012. With being a newer recruiter in my industry I have found this course to be extremely helpful. I never knew there was a technique out there with name sourcing besides calling straight into companies. I can write search strings on my own time and be able to recruit during my normal business hours without wasting anytime. I would definitely recommend this course.

Chief Operating Officer at Recovery United

I recently had the pleasure of attending the eSSentials course, which was amazing! I really enjoyed the information taught in the class as well as Tricia and her wonderful teaching skills. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to greatly improve their searching capabilities. Ive also never had so many takeaways from one course as I did from this one. Thanks again Tricia!

Suzanne Ramos

Managing Partner, Excelon Partners

Tricia is a savvy, dynamic trainer with great expertise in the finest points of e-sourcing. She provided me with techniques I would never have found on my own and that I expect will greatly enhance my pool of high-performance candidates.

Walt Brod

Recruiting HVAC & Energy

Tricia is a gifted trainer and understands and communicates the subject well. I had some background in Boolean search but after the course of four sessions I am throughly familar and experiencing results of the training.

Cody Ruby

THE MS Stack Headhunter

Tricia practices what she preaches therefore is constantly innovating the training material to benefit students and her own business. She was always willing to move at the collective pace of our class or kept her door open offline for additional questions. Tricia’s training style was well received by all in our group. Any executive recruiter looking for new paths in sourcing passive candidates will quickly get their ROI if they participate in and implement Tricia’s eSSentials tutelage.

Gregory Todesco

Sector Leader, Natural Resources for NA within Korn Ferry’s Professional Search Practice.

In my time working with Tricia I learnt much more than I expected. Going in I thought I was great at searching, only to find out that I was good. After the class I realized what great was. Tricia has a passion for the material, a passion for business and in her teaching all of that comes out – she truely is one of the best in our industry, and a business woman who I greatly respect. Although the class was focused on sourcing online, personally I learnt so much more about the business of recruiting, and saw first hand the result of hard work as a business professional in Tricia. I feel honoured to have taken this course with her, and I highly reccomend working with Tricia in this class, as a client, candidate or partner.

Andrew Moore

Relationship Director

For any recruiter wishing to exponentially amplify their desk, I would highly recommend enrolling in Tricia’s e-sourcing class. Not only does she know her way around the internet like she helped invent it, Tricia is incredibly passionate about sharing her knowledge and teaching students how to harness the latest search tools and methodologies to ferret out hard-to-find candidates.

Christopher Ogden

VP Sales and Marketing at ESP with over 30 years in the bus bar industry

Tricia was hired to recruit for a very specialize position. She never gave up until she found us the right candidate which we hired. I would highly recommend Tricia and her team.

Edward Waszak CAM

Skilled Community Association Manager

I had the pleasure of being a coworker of Tricia’s when we were both senior recruitment professionals at a global technology consulting firm. I have never met anyone more dedicated to the profession of human resources in the search and staffing arenas. It is difficult to find one word that describes Tricia’s professional abilities so I will submit seven, Professional Effective Impressive Overachieving Resourceful Dedicated Unrelenting In the world of executive recruitment Tricia is truly crème de la crème. If the perfect candidate is out there, Tricia will find them!
