Our commitment to our members
We’re constantly studying the talent acquisition & talent management landscape. It is a labor of love – never a job. We enjoy being challenged about something we don’t know. We’ll track it down. We’ll introduce you to the best people we can find. Enterprise members can get our advice via email, phone call, text message, at CXR community meetings or an occasional after-hours session at many HR conferences. As networked as we are, what we don’t know we can always learn from experts and help you connect to them.
