1. Executive Advisor with Culture Index

   Culture Index

   Dec 2011 — Present · CO, US

   At Culture Index, we don’t tell you what people can DO, we tell you who they ARE. Companies often make hiring decisions based on the contents of an applicant\'s resume and a gut feeling about the person’s interpersonal skills – both of which can be creatively crafted for the interview process.What if you could go to an ATM-type machine and punch in the ideal attributes you’re looking for in order to fill an open position at your company? What if, after identifying what that ideal employee looks like, you could change the desired quantity from 1 to 10 and completely replicate that person’s characteristics across the board? Welcome to Culture Index.I assist clients in identifying, hiring and managing talent. Utilizing a proprietary online assessment instrument, we create customized hiring templates for each position to ensure a strategic fit. Our motto: “Putting People First”. As companies seek to fill open positions, resumes remain the requisite hiring document to begin the talent search process. But a resume only tells part of the story – and that’s usually the part that is composed by the candidate or a professional service for the purpose of attracting attention and matching key words.How much did your last poor hiring decision cost your company? Did you factor in the opportunity cost? Regardless of how companies conduct business, human capital remains the constant spoke. Finding reliable ways to vet top-quality candidates is the differentiating factor for any company that is forced to do more with fewer and fewer resources. Imagine your company having the ability to consistently and predictably attract the right talent to bring only pre-vetted candidates to the interview table. What would your business look like if you could cherry pick new members for your sales force that possessed the inherent characteristics of your top rain maker?Call me.I\'ll show you how!
