Effective Recruitment: Getting Real Value From This Key Process

pivotal: "vitally important in determining outcome, progress or success"

"The work Sheryl has done with board members is working… it’s no longer theory but starting to be put into practice!”

Board Chairman

"Sheryl’s also very good on time. She keeps to time and covers everything off. She’s not frightened to dump stuff though – she’ll go along with what’s happening for the group and deal with whatever comes up.”

Board Chairman

"Take facilitation – I feel like I can sit down with Sheryl for 10 to 15 minutes and portray something and the results will come across [from Pivotal]. It doesn’t soak up a lot of time [talking to Pivotal] and Pivotal is very outcome-orientated. I like that about them.”

Chief Executive

“That fresh attitude…it invigorates us to do other things, to look at things differently. Sheryl pulls your head out of the sand!”

Chief Executive

“After a few years in business I was going around in circles. I just needed some new input and Sheryl was the one to give me that. What with the long hours I was working I never had time to think. I got into the same trap as I had in my earlier businesses. I sat down with Sheryl and it seemed like I could start working less hours and getting more money! I followed her advice to the ‘t’. I had been working IN my business not ON it. I couldn’t believe it!”
