90+% of business problems are talent problems. Imagine a world where hiring misfires are reduced or eliminated. Where every employee understands how to communicate with peers effectively, and every manager understands how to manage direct reports. PI's scientifically validated Behavioral Assessment, Job Assessment, and Cognitive Assessments, and Talent Optimization platform eliminates all bias from hiring, accurately predicts job performance, provides massive job-fit insights, designs job specs around behavioral and cognitive needs, and ensures people are placed in roles in which they'll excel. All this increases retention, morale, and bottom-line profitability. Imagine a world where employees and teams work optimally together and spend their time doing their jobs effectively, optimally and without distraction.

Talent optimization is a state-of-the-art paradigm that aligns a company's talent strategy with its broader business strategy. TO optimizes the output and productivity of people to achieve amazing results. In January of 2019, The Predictive Index surveyed 156 CEOs, presidents, and chairpeople. They were asked about their top priorities and challenges; where they turn for help on key business issues; and their perspectives on strategy, management, and talent consultants.Here are the five biggest findings:1. For CEOs, business strategy development and talent strategy stand head and shoulders above everything else on the priority list.2. CEOs are right to rank talent strategy as such a high priority; employees are by far their most costly business asset.3. Four of the top five CEO challenges relate to talent optimization.4. More CEOs say they need help with talent strategy than business strategy.5. When it comes to getting help with business strategy and execution, CEOs prefer new processes or playbooks they can execute internally over consultants.

As a retained executive search and talent acquisition expert, I provide companies & candidates market intelligence on industry trends. I work with hiring managers and candidates to ensure success and fit, and I mentor and coach best practices to recruitment teams. I've recruited domestically and internationally in every conceivable industry and vertical market. Being innovative, creative, forthright, ethical, exacting and relentless has resulted in a well deserved decades-long reputation as a trusted profit partner, insightful coach, and, scrupulously honest search practitioner.I execute complex searches globally, often within highly matrixed organizations. I teach and coach best practices to recruiters based on content garnered from decades of filling mission-critical positions. Companies call me when the role is complex and/or needs to be filled quickly. In addition to sourcing candidates, I excel at assessing personalities, cultural fit, and personal motivations that must align perfectly with the hiring company's brand, ethos, culture, and financial parameters.From pre-IPO, early-stage start-ups to globally recognized brands, I've worked in every conceivable vertical; nonprofit, creative, healthcare, pharma, biotech, finance, IR, high-tech, consumer tech, CPGs, GR/GA, real estate, food/ nutrition, travel, environmental, agriculture & energy. I’ve recruited positions from mid-level manager to the C-suite.Understanding client's and candidate's brands, personalities, expectations, preferences, and dispositions are equally important when courting talent. Few things are more complex and requiring mastery of subtle nuance than a properly executed search. I founded Shulman Associates Search Services in 1990 following 4 years with the Goldman Group, at the time the country's largest corporate relations executive search firm on Madison Avenue where I was taught the art of executive search by scrupulously ethical and professional executive search consultants.

Are you in a job you like? Are you doing work you enjoy? Are you contemplating a new job or career change? Do you understand how to brand and position your prior work experience, and life, to optimally compete for the work you want, and, do you know all the steps you need to take to conduct a successful job search? These are just a few of the questions we'll cover if we work together.Gone are the days of hiring managers working alongside human resources experts to vet candidates. The gauntlet candidates face starts with ATS' (applicant tracking systems), software tools that vet and parse resumes, gatekeepers called "internal recruiters" with minimal experience, and, sourcers managing unreasonable workloads with minimal understanding about the roles they're recruiting for. Couple that with ineffective resumes, weak LinkedIn profiles and cover letters, and huge volumes of incoming applicants thanks to job boards and other social media, and you understand the importance of having a competitive edge.I've been coaching and counseling people in career transition for three decades. Providing insights and specific direction on a wide variety of job and career-related topics and challenges, my Fast-Track-3-3-3 Career Coaching process provides a thorough and concise roadmap for those considering a job or career change.Taking a holistic and pragmatic approach, the "Fast-Track 3-3-3 Career Coaching process" consists of 3 cumulative hours spread over no more than 3 weeks covering 3 essential topics - (1) skills assessment & evaluation, (2) opportunity research, and (3) your personal branding - resume(s), LinkedIn profile, cover letter(s) and interviewing techniques. By the time our work together concludes, you'll have clarity, focus, and direction. You'll be well branded and positioned, and you'll have a clear logical roadmap to pursue job and career possibilities using tried, proven and effective tools and strategies.

After graduating from college I went to work in my family's newspaper, Town Talk, where I learned the print news business. I sold advertising, wrote Op-Ed columns, did public relations, created events and partnerships to increase circulation and advertising, streamlined and automated billing, created a customer service manual and attended multiple weekly community functions to represent this free weekly home-delivered newspaper that was 75% advertising 25% soft-news distributed to 250,000 homes in suburban Philadelphia's Delaware County county-seat, Media, Pennsylvania. The paper was ultimately sold to Gannet in May of 1985.ENDORSEMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONSThank you very much for your endorsements and recommendations, I'm always grateful for the positive feedback.
