“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.”

“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.”

“We’ve had really great experience with Ryan and his team and Core Matters. They’ve taken us to the next level. We’re a people first company, but with his help, they’re moving the needle. If you own or run a business and you’re really focused on improving your people, I would highly recommend Core Matters for your hiring and retention efforts.”

“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.”

“Since we started working with Core Matters, our turnover has reduced from about 30% a year to single digits (about 7 to 8% per year). We’ve grown from a team of 15 electricians to 25. They delivered on time and within the budget. Core Matters was the most responsive vendor and partner we have worked with. They were a great partner. It’s been really successful!”

“Core Matters was extremely helpful in identifying not only the right tools but flexible tools that were cost-effective. Now, I joke, that when I’m working less than 40 hours per week, I feel like I’m stealing. We’ve set up accountability systems so we can make sure things are getting done. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Getting my time back was probably the most important thing that we’ve done over the last three years.”

“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 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.”

“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.”
