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 and Jason are a verifiable treasure trove of information on the efficient use of Boolean searches for lazer focused, high quality searches. After taking their webinar course, I was able to cut the time of my searches in half, and be able to come back with greater accuracy and relevancy on the candidate backgrounds.
Also, Jason has a fantastic hat.

I completed an on-line training course that was masterfully crafted by Tricia. The power of sourcing using Boolean and other internet tools have allowed me to reach candidates I sensed were accessible, but did not know how to reach. In addition to be strong in these skills she is also empathetic to the student as we are exposed to powerful tools in a short period of time and are unable to complete cycles of learning to establish mastery of the skills.

I never write recommendations for just anyone but this one is truly deserved. I was a student in Tricia’s class and the thing that impressed me the most was her professionalism, knowledge of the industry, accurate if not perfect answers to questions. Although, the class was online it was almost like being in the classroom physically. I highly recommend Tricia as my knowledge of sourcing increased under Tricia’s tutelage.

The depth of knowledge Tricia has about eSourcing in the eSSentials class is nothing short of mind-blowing. She is extremely thorough, but also, like the very best teachers, very enthusiastic and passionate about the subject. I also greatly appreciated her accessibility to questions outside class via email.

Tricia and Jason had me in their “eSSentials eSourcing” course and it was a great course to take. I feel the information was given in great detail and well taught. The webinar was fun and interactive, not boring and impersonal. Professionally this information is beyond useful to finding everything I need and I am eager to take the next step with them in February in their “Advanced eSSentials.”

Tricia has been invaluable in teaching me new techniques on how to become a better recruiter. Her method of teaching is refreshing and engaging. She definitely keeps you engaged during her training sessions. I would highly recommend her.

Tricia and her sidekick Jason are nothing short of astounding! The information they teach has limitless potential and their knowledge of the subject matter is remarkable. Tricia is concise and professional while at the same time personable and enjoyable. The passion she displays is always evident and is infectious. While geared toward recruiters the tools she teaches have universal applications. Well worth the investment!

I have nothing but the highest praise for Tricia as an instructor, and eSSentials is a course packed with outstanding content.

The eSSentials training provides immediate returns with sourcing passive candidates for open job orders. It is an incredible value from both a time and cost perspective and the returns can be measured right away. We’ve missed big on some past training from industry “experts” and I was hesitant to commit the spend but the techniques we learned are invaluable. I am very thankful she talked me into the class and she delivered way past my expectations!!!

When it comes to getting the most up to date methods for finding and researching available talent on the internet, Tricia is truly an expert in this field. The training she has provided over the last several weeks cover a number of diverse topics on internet sourcing and provide immediate results. The classes move quickly, are laced with humor, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. The best part is the ability to fully cover questions and receive immediate feedback on the topics being covered in a weekly question and answer period. If you’re serious about getting your internet sourcing skills to another level, then Tricia can teach you those skills to get there, and then continue to keep you up to date on new developments. . .
