Rush Mentoring found me an assistant by advertising the job and handling all the interviews. I avoided the email clogged with weak applications and the time sink of interviews. Lori talked with me before posting the job about the nature of the work and the type of person and personality I wanted. She narrowed the pack to the best 3. What a hassle she kept me from having to endure. The person I hired has proven top notch, better than the people I hired before her. Some people say they need help in their business but they don't have time to hire. The best answer is hiring Rush Recruiting. I'm always

Rush Recruiting & HR has been a lifesaver for our fast growing company. Anytime I have an HR and/or Hiring related question, I email Lori and she gets back to me right away. I don't know what I would do without her!

Worth every penny! Its rare to connect with a coach who is so effective in such a short amount of time. I had the pleasure of working with Lori when I hired her to help me prepare for my job search and land my inspiring new position. Lori coached me through every step of the process and I was particularly grateful for the training in behavioral interviewing. Loris coaching helped me, not only to get my foot in the door, I was able to successfully tie my resume results with exceptional examples that I used to show multiple interviewers how I would perform in the future. As a long distant

The receptionist was warm and friendly and offered me something to drink. Before I even met Lori, it was clear that my presence in the office was welcome, and I felt like an honored guest. My meeting with Lori was jam-packed with valuable information

I am a small business owner who has always done everything on my own, it is difficult to express what an incredible relief it was to encounter the bright, confident HR professional I found in Lori.
