Acclaim for our Ryan Estis:

“Your presentation to us that day was by far the most useful and content rich session of the day. I appreciated your high energy, professionalism and the fact that you outlined a clear process based strategy that we can take with us and populate as our environments demand. Excellent presentation and delivery!"

Many thanks,

“I have been recruiting for a very long time but am always interested in new information. Ryan provided some interesting insight and some new ideas that I had not thought of. I am especially interested in the generational differences and enjoyed hearing more about that and how we must adjust our management styles to accommodate the up and coming generations and the expectation that they have or risk being left behind in recruiting and retention efforts. Ryan provided a high energy presentation that captured and maintained our interest."

"I am so glad that I attended your Employment Branding session—and actually, it was the best session I attended at the national SHRM conference!!!!! You kept the meeting (and the topic) interesting and fun and your passion for what you do definitely showed! I left the meeting energized and with plenty of fresh ideas to share at my workplace.”

“The session “Closing the Candidate, Sales Skills for the New Recruiter” was the highlight of the SHRM conference for me. I sat through many informative sessions during the conference, staring at PowerPoint slides and taking notes hoping to go back and apply some of what I was learning at work. It’s two months later and I’ve yet to review those notes. I was very fortunate to have chosen the session with Ryan Estis. I was on the edge of my seat and laughing throughout the entire session. I didn’t take notes, nor did I need to because I was fully engaged and came back to the workplace inspired to be a better recruiter.”

“It was a pleasure to have Ryan Estis as a featured Speaker at our 2004 Annual Southeastern Wisconsin Association of Healthcare Recruiters Conference. Ryan's presentation on Employment Branding was extraordinarily successful, rating the equivalent of a perfect "10" from our participants—a very tough audience. His unparalleled understanding of the subject matter—and style of engaging the audience through interactive exercises, humor and dynamic exuberance—is just plain brilliant.”

“Ryan has a terrific command of the Employment Brand Strategy topic and provided outstanding take-away ideas for the audience. As the first of three speakers, Ryan set the tone for the event and energized the audience with interactive, fun and relevant activities. Ryan also provided a solid foundation for the two case studies following his presentation, by utilizing his signature Brand Architecture methodology and referencing thought-provoking examples. His engaging rapport with the audience invited numerous questions, to which he responded very succinctly and articulately. The program feedback survey indicated the Brand Strategy Program was very well received.”

“Ryan delivers a fast-paced, high-intensity, high-content meeting. Big company or small, if you think you are up-to-speed on the latest thinking on employment branding, you probably aren“t—until you meet Ryan. He buzz-saws through accepted wisdom and makes you want to get back to your company, your CEO and your marketing department and rethink everything you're doing about your recruitment strategy!”

“This was my 20th EMA and yours must have been the 200th breakout session that I have attended. Your presentation was at the very top of all those that I have witnessed.You were engaging, dynamic and informative and you had the 300 plus HR directors busily taking notes.Our profession has long undervalued the Employer Brand. I believe that your presentation goes a long way toward raising it to the level of intention that it needs to make an impact (obtain a budget) in the C suite.”

“Your presentation was a big hit. You brought some excitement and enthusiasm to what is usually a dull meeting. We all enjoyed the vigor with which you presented your material. Several people commented that the workbook was an excellent idea. It gave us a way to follow along with the presentation and keep notes. It was also a way to reinforce what you were presenting. The audio-visual portion was a good way to break up the time and give some visual evidence on the points you were making. I want to thank you for taking the time to come down from Minnesota to share your knowledge and excitement regarding employment branding. I think you have motivated us to move off dead center and start the process.”
