RECRUIT Retain ROCK

By partnering with Rikka, we’re able to provide expert advice and insight on recruiting, hiring and retention to our audience of over nine thousand lumber companies. Out of the thousands of articles we have shared in the past year, Rikka has the number one most read article.

By implementing the strategies Rikka taught us, we managed to hire 16 new employees in the last two weeks. That is insane for us and it literally could not come at a better time.

Rikka Brandon has been incredible to work with, offering her insight and expertise in our Design + Business Webinar program here at NKBA. Her presentation style keeps the audience engaged, and her best practices for recruitment and hiring offer deeper perspective for business leaders and hiring teams. We look forward to many future presentations to come!

Most other recruiters — trying to say this diplomatically — are not like Rikka. She is very forthright. She’s a great communicator. She’s very clear. She tells you exactly what to expect, and then does exactly what she tells you she’s going to do. I would say in any industry, that’s pretty rare.

Rikka is truly a visionary in her field, and believes that the psychology and strategy of hiring are not exclusive of one another.

She helped me build a team of 5 outside partners to launch our internal sales and revenue growth initiative.

As I got to know her, I got to know the broad view she has, the amount of contacts, the amount of business experience she has — it’s really impressive. It’s not just, ‘I’ll help you with people.’

What Rikka did, which totally blew my mind, was she wasn’t just a recruiter who found someone for us. She was a consultant throughout the entire process. She held my hand the whole way and was fantastic. No other recruiter I’ve worked with — or frankly heard of — does it that way.

Her professional message and delivery displays her knowledge, passion and commitment to building and improving the LBM industry.
