“I rarely give endorsements, but Denise really grasps the issues. As a leader in recruiting, she understands the relationship that develops during the interview process between the candidate and the hiring manager. In twenty-five years, I have published fourteen books, each addressing a different aspect of job search and career management. Denise has been a valuable contributor to some of my works and I have enjoyed working with her.”

Hiring the Best and the Knock ‘em Dead Series
“Denise is my favorite recruiter of all time. You can’t ask someone to find character if they don’t possess it. You can’t ask someone to find work ethic if they don’t have it. You can’t ask the unintelligent to find intelligence. Denise has a full tank of all three. That’s what makes her the best. The advice she shares is from the field where they use live ammo and the stakes are high. You’ll get the insights that will help you win the war for talent.”
Mike Denker, Area Director

[This book is for] “…those seeking a more human approach to HR.”
Tom Fowler, III, Senior Vice President
State Bank of Southwest Missouri
“Denise and Randy provide an exceptional commitment to customer satisfaction, and a dedication to playing a large role in achieving and surpassing your career goals. I would not recommend anyone if I did not have complete faith, trust, and confidence in them. If given the opportunity to work with Denise and Randy, I would not hesitate and encourage you to do the same.”
Matt Aultman, District Manager
Pharmaceutical Sales
“I first worked with Denise as a candidate getting interviewed then (in my current role) as a manager/director conducting interviews. She is fantastic in both facets. I much prefer the latter!”

Why Use HIRE with FIRE
“During the next 20+ years, the competition for talent is going to be fierce. Organizations who excel at recruiting and retaining talent are going to have a massive competitive advantage.”

United Way of the Ozarks
“…It’s not only about communication, but the overall culture of working with a dedicated team that can be very open and honest at ever turn, from the maintenance staff to the CEO. Everyone is just as important as the next person…”
Todd Derickson, Director of Sales
TECH-Medical Services, Inc.
“Passion and commitment are most important. We can train staff on necessary skills but you can’t force someone to be passionate about work or performing. They have to naturally be that way.”
Ericca Zumaya, Human Excellence Generalist
Life Sciences/ Biotechnology
“How a company treats their employees says everything about who they are and what they value. The most important resource a business has is its people and it cannot thrive without happy and productive employees.”
Seda Onek, Human Resources Manager
Sotera Wireless
“Many times interviews become very process driven and sterile. This type of interviewing does not give the candidate a good understanding of the hiring manager, or the organization and can cause either issues further down the line (once hired) or can cause a candidate to be less interested in a career with the organization.”
Steve Ford, Senior Manager of New Market Development
Pharmaceuticals, Capital Equipment, Medical Device
[An employee’s] “state of mind is reflected in their enthusiasm during live customer interfaces and timing of followup.”
Marc Waldman, Vice President Business Development,

“…skills can be learned and trained – passion is inherent to who you are. If you don’t see if up front, it very rarely grows!”
Dave Eberson, Vice President Commercialization, Sales and Service, North America
Medical Device, Pharmaceuticals
“Candidates should evaluate the overall interview and recruitment process with a potential employer.” They can “learn a lot about the employees and company by observing how smoothly (or not) this process occurs.”
Mike DeMuth, Vice President Sales
Healthcare IT
“I really want the passion before skills. Depending on the job- you can teach the skills. Passion tends to win out. You can’t teach passion for the job. You either have it or you don’t.”
W. Brent Dunn, Vice-President, Office of University Advancement, Executive Director
Missouri State University Foundation
“How a candidate is treated throughout the interview process will determine if they accept [the job] or not.”
