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!

Enthusiastic Love from Happy Clients

Nine years. I believe it’s been nine years since my first eSSentials class with Tricia and Moore eSSentials. Nine years on, and I still make daily use of the tools she and Jason taught, and continue to teach as the course evolves. Her depth of knowledge of the subject matter obviously comes from years of practical experience. I’ve found Tricia’s ability to clearly and patiently explain the content with just the right amount of wit injected to be her greatest gift. The tools Moore eSSentials teaches are, in my opinion, required learning for any recruiter who wants to run an efficient, effective, and authentic/human practice. You set the goals that are right for you and your business, and they’ll provide you the tools to make it happen!

Dear Recruiter, I highly recommend the Essentials class if you are sourcing potential candidates. This class helped me to use the internet so much more than I thought possible. To cast a wide net and then quickly cull through the results to find the RIGHT CATCH! Interesting format, Great Content, Entertaining, and at times quite humorous. Best Bang for the Recruiter Training Buck! Sincerely Pat Batchelor, PE Engineering Search Partners

I was fortunate to be able to train with Tricia and I have to say that both my partner and I are extremely happy with the results of this training. I personally found Tricia to be extremely detailed & knowledgable about the topics. The training process was easy to follow and Tricia’s person-ability and fairness made the information easier to assimilate. She also right in emphasizing perfecting the craft through practice. I would gladly train with Tricia again in the future and am happy to highly recommend her for your recruiting training needs.

Tricia and Jason are the world’s foremost experts in sourcing high quality, nose to the grindstone, difficult to locate individuals, who fly well under the radar. They have developed an invaluable way of helping recruiters understand complex competitive intelligence principles that yield the right individuals. The Moore eSSentials Team was the single most impactful investment Highline Outdoor Group has made.

Tricia was a fabulous trainer in Boolean Sourcing, actually she was masterful. I truly appreciated her guidance, approach and attitude toward making sure that we understood the parameters of Boolean sourcing even if we were new. Knowing that you can stay connected through a forum was even better. There are so many times when you invest and then you are set out to pasture on your own. Thank goodness, Tricia doesn’t use this approach. Tricia also took time to speak with me prior to my decision to invest in the course and as a managing partner there were times when I wanted to run for the hills, but I stuck with the training. I have also invested in one of my top producers to be trained too. Tricia and her side kick Jason (LOL) who is actually a genius as well are super-fantastic.

Tricia has taken the best practices of traditional executive search methods and catapulted them far into the 21st century in two wickedly effective ways. First, by converting them in a profoundly simple and elegant way to work within the boundaries of social media and second, by deconstructing her expert knowledge of e-sourcing and laying it out in easily understandable chunks that, when put into practice on a daily basis, will guarantee success to any recruiter lucky enough to take her course. It took me less than a week to find a buried, local, Purple Squirrel that NO ONE would ever have surfaced. Unless they took one of Tricia’s e-Sourcing workshops….

Tricia is quite the trainer! She is well-versed in her field and was always available for questions. Tricia’s knowledge has already helped me source quality candidates that would have normally been buried out in the world wide web. I would recommend this course for any recruiter, especially for a new recruiter like me! Thanks, Tricia!

I completed the eSSentials program facilitated by Tricia Tamkin and Jason Thibeault. Tricia taught me techniques that have helped me surface information I would not have otherwise known about. She is an expert and someone I would highly recommend to recruiters at any level of experience. She has definitely made me a better recruiter!

I recently received training from Tricia. She provided the most thorough search string training that I have ever experienced. Tricia is enthusiastic and a great trainer. I would recommend Tricia for anyone required to perform research.
