“Ryan was challenged to be an agent of change in a 35 year old company, whose leadership team is, for the most part, extremely tenured. His patience, communications and persistence resulted in our making significant strides in all aspects of the digital world. The project lead was thoughtful and did an exceptional job keeping the entire team was engaged.”

“We can train skill, but defining that culture within your business and then hiring people that align with that culture is what it’s all about. Last year we hired 14 people, exceeding our goal of one a month. We’ve hired another eight so far this year. The quality of the applicants that we’re getting has increased significantly. I can’t imagine how we did it before.”

“I hired Core Matters for our HR, coaching, and training needs. Simply put, they helped us revamp our hiring process from start to finish. Core Matters helped us make our hiring and our team our competitive advantage. Moreover, Core Matters helped us revamp our company voice. They assisted in renewing our core values, purpose, and mission, which we conveyed in the job description for potential candidates.”

“We were looking for a live presenter at our company management meeting and stumbled upon Ryan, which was a perfect fit for our group and our organization at this time. We would absolutely consider booking Ryan again. Search his name on a podcast and listen to what he has to say, because chances are he’s going to catch you, especially if you’re in this construction, manufacturing, building services space.”

“We hired 16 new employees in 2023 after our training with Core Matters. 14 of them are still with us today. On top of that, Core Matters helped us track our hiring metrics. Core Matters delivered on time and within budget. Ryan was easy to work with and had a great personality. He challenged our way of thinking about the hiring process. He truly helped us work through our issues. We achieved great results with them.”

“The process that Ryan had was exceptional, reducing turnover, hiring techniques, even what questions I should and should not ask and when I should ask them. We have reduced our turnover rate from about 150% per year to less than 20%. It has significantly improved the quality of people that both apply and that we hire. I’m extremely happy with the processes and the program.”

“Core Matters is the perfect name for this company. They get to the heart of the business: people and relationships. This goes for owners, managers, team building, and clients. Without each of these there wouldn’t be a business. I believe Core Matters does a great job of helping business owners and management teams understand the value of culture for their business.”

“We first learned about Core Matters at a national convention. We heard a presentation that led us to an interview with them. We liked what they had to say. Core Matters helped us find 50 employees within the first 90 days of working with them, which was remarkable. I look forward to every single weekly meeting. I feel like my leadership team and I always get something out of them.”

“When we first hired Core Matters, we had about 15 teammates and many spots to fill. After engaging with the team, we’ve doubled the size of our company. Our vibe and culture has become super strong. The candidates that have come in have been a great fit for us. I can’t imagine engaging with any other team. Their team is the best.”
