Some letters from the top


 
Jerome Caille
Owner Dr. Click (Barcelona, Spain). Former CEO Adecco Group Zurich, Switzerland.

“Tim has provided specific training to my senior level executives and Adecco Teams worldwide on how to deliver outstanding recruitment services. Tim was able to inspire them in building dedicated teams to develop professional staffing services. His program creates a lot of interaction with participants and a lot of fun! Tim has helped us to understand that in professional recruitment, that every call is both the opportunity to develop a candidate relationship and/or a client relationship and to get the most out of every contact. Also, that repetition leads to perfection and therefore, there are many opportunities to make "bags of money" implementing what he teaches! Tim is a great person and has contributed to Adecco Group's success in the USA and across the Adecco World. I am available to complete this statement. Best regards, Jerome Caille”



Doug Hall
Peopleflex
“With Tim's leadership, the Top Tier training program has had a huge positive impact on the entire Peopleflex Accounting Professional's organization. His high-energy program has taken many of our recruiters to the next level in production. His tools and techniques have proven extremely valuable to our recruiting organization.
 


 
Steve Brady
Managing Director- TechUSA
“Tim and his team nailed it! I've been in the Recruiting/Staffing business for around 12 years and have participated in over 100 training sessions. This is by far the best training program built in my industry. It changes the mindset and attitude toward the profession and delivers IMMEDIATE results. I have already recommended Tim to many of my connections in this business and always will. Thanks Tim"


Greg Ponzoli
Vice President - TechUSA
“Tim and Top Tier Training provided my company with recruiter training that we feel will completely change the fundamentals of what we do. The training sessions were focused, interactive and Tim was able to keep our attention throughout. On top of that, the entire week was a first class event starting with the beautiful location and ending with a reception that overlooked the skyline of Miami. I would recommend this training seminar to anyone interested in upgrading the talent and fundamentals of your recruiting company."
 



 
Lucy Hampton
Director, Plus1 Recruitment London, England

“Tim trained me and my team at Plus1 Recruitment. His input has increased the revenue on the board, time management has improved and KPI's are 200% better. Tim is the best trainer/mentor person anyone could EVER have. His training and follow up was incredible. He is the most dedicated, passionate trainer I have ever come across.”



Tyrone Lee

Director South China- Adecco PRC

“Great Trainer!”
 



 
Lori Alfonso

Corporate Recruiter/ Nike. Formally Senior Executive Recruiter/Division Manager, Ajilon Finance

“I am a very successful Executive Recruiter with over 10 years of experience. I owe my success to the thorough and dynamic training by Tim Kelch. I was right out of public accounting with NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE when I spent 2 weeks training under Tim's High Intensity Training Program. His mentorship led me to be the Number One producing Rookie in my training class, number one in the nation, and number one in my region for 6 years. His knowledge, passion and experience in the recruiting industry is unsurpassed. After 10 years of great economic success in this field, I am still using the basic principles taught to me by Tim Kelch. If you want to be successful in recruiting or any other sales based, commission driven career, I highly recommend Tim Kelch. I still refer to him has my Mentor and have shared his knowledge with every recruiter that has worked with me in hopes that they too will benefit from this training.”



Shawn Hamele
Global Training Leader Korn-Ferry/Futurestep”. Formally National Trainer Executive Search, Ajilon Finance

“Tim Kelch provided both the company we worked for and me incredible leadership, training insight, outstanding content and fantastic mentorship. His perspective on the executive search industry as well as personal experiences makes him one of best trainers in our business. On top of that, no one can keep a class' attention better than Tim. He is simply one of the best speakers I have seen. From the 'Why Factors' he teaches to the coaching call accountability, students benefit in innumerable ways. I highly recommend Tim and all the benefit he can bring to any organization."

 



 
Gregg Gavioli
Managing Partner Solomon Page

“I have had the opportunity to work with and be a part of Tim Kelch’s training classes over the past 7 years and highly recommend his service. I value Tim’s expertise as a trainer for full cycle recruitment. Tim has the ability to take topics and make them easily digestible for a small or large audience while keeping them entertained and motivated. When I saw the need to conduct training at my current company Tim was the first person I thought of.”



Francisco Rivera

Director of Training & Development Global Employment Solutions. Formally Branch Manager Ajilon Finance, Office and Legal

“What can I say about someone who has been my mentor, friend and inspiration day in and day out? Your training is the reason I am where I am. I thank you for inspiring me to heights I once thought unattainable.”

 



 
Declan Reilly

Partner, BlueTree Financial Search. Formally Permanent Placement Manager, Ajilon Finance

“I attended a week long training that Tim led while at Ajilon. I also watched as a manager and saw the success of his training classes on the employees all over the US. The impact that it had on me was life changing. I learned habits and new skills that I still use today that keep me in the top 10% of recruiters in billings. I also watched time after time as people had immediate success after attending Tim’s training. It will pay for itself many times over. It's an investment in yourself that will increase your billings (and income) for a long time. Thanks Tim!!!”



Domenic Vacca

Vice-President at ACSYS Inc.

“Tim's Top Tier 5-Day Training Program was a thorough, interactive, informative and energizing experience. He incorporates real-life, practical ideas that can help modern recruiters return to TRUE recruiting!”

 



 
Nicholas P. Lattanzi

Business Development Manager TechUSA, Inc. Aerospace & Defense Programs”

"Are you tired of remaining status quo? If you are someone who embraces risk in the name of high reward potential, I would like to recommend the training services provided by Tim & Sharon Kelch at Top Tier Talent & Training. I can already see a dramatic change in myself, in my team, in my job order closing percentage, and in my clients' renewed commitment to our new value propositions. Just this week, I have closed four (4) perm deals contributing $56,000 to our bottom line, which was achieved through the direct application of Tim & Sharon's programs. If you have faith, work ethic and sizzle, nobody can stop you when you inject these tactics and strategies into your everyday business. Thank you for everything Top-Tier Talent & Training!!"

Update: Nick billed over $200,000 in search fess in his first eight weeks following his Top Tier Training class. He previously billed $90,000 in the prior 12 months as his primary focus is in the development of contract staffing. The extra profit resulting from his increase in billings paid for the entire training costs of 40 TechUSA staffing professionals.



Don Halterman
Owner Managing Partner Halterman Associates. Formally Division Manager Ajilon Finance

 “In the mid 1990's, I was trained and mentored by Tim Kelch at a large international search/staffing organization. I have continued to seek Tim's input over the past decade. His extensive program provided me with all the elements needed to succeed in executive search. Over the years, I have trained and managed many successful executive recruiters using the skills and techniques acquired from Tim. In addition, I have continued to run a desk and annually exceed $800,000 in billings. I have Tim to thank for my success. I highly recommend his program."

 



 
Jeff Manga
Owner, 6 Degrees Executive Search

“Tim is an excellent Trainer, and has a wealth of knowledge in the professional staffing arena. I consider him a mentor, and his integrity is of the highest degree.”



Stacy Patterson
Recruiting Director at CBIZ Medical Management Professionals

“Tim is an extremely effective Trainer. He has the unique ability to motivate and inspire individuals while teaching them the subject at hand. When you leave his sessions, you feel confident and versed.....you feel like you can conquer the world. The people he has trained trust him so he is able to truly be a mentor in developing their skills. I can honestly say that he is the most amazing trainer I have ever had the privilege of working with.”

 



 
John Palcisko
Market Manager Kforce Professional Staffing

“One word describes the training provided by Tim Kelch- OUTSTANDING - I was fortunate enough to be trained by Tim and his training had a direct impact on not only me and my outlook on this great business but also on my pocketbook. Tim has given me the foundation that I have built on since leaving the firm Tim and I worked at. I was able to become a top biller at my previous firm and have increased my capabilities and billings to a much higher level because of much of what Tim taught me. I have even started to incorporate many of Tim's ideas with my team that I have been building. Thanks Tim for all the help over the years.”



Melinda McMahon
Senior Associate at Ryan Miller & Associates

“Tim Kelch may have only served as my trainer for 8 short days at Ajilon's national training headquarters in Cincinnati, yet he's long since served as a mentor. Plainly and simply, Tim Kelch taught me how to be an Executive Recruiter; I learned all I know about the foundation of the search business from him; and I had no idea how the lessons learned in those 8 days would positively impact my life, financially and otherwise. I entered Tim's training class in 1999 with a couple of years of industrial and administrative staffing experience, had relocated to a new state/new market and would focus my efforts in an industry (finance/accounting) in which I had not a shred of experience. Tim's methodical training and structured mentorship not to mention his goal-orientation ("why" factors) and encouragement allowed me to become one of the highest producing rookies for the company. Professionally, Tim's mentorship and training has paved the way for myriad opportunities post-Ajilon; and personally, Tim's training allowed me to earn enough of a financial cushion to pursue a life long dream of living abroad -- for 4 years! I returned to the states and Executive Search after 4 years of life in Spain; and, more to the point, I employ Tim's methods on a daily basis. Let this note stand as my strong recommendation for Tim Kelch's program and training methods!”

 



 
Kevin Dunn

Accounting & Finance Staffing Division Manager at Clovis

“During my tenure at Ajilon, Tim trained 4 of my Executive Recruiters on the intricacies of the search business. Each one of them came back with not only a deeper understanding of the business but the enthusiasm to put the practices to work immediately. Additionally, Tim took the time to follow-up and mentor them as their careers grew. Tim is someone who understands this business inside and out as those that have worked with him can attest. I'd hate to be on the other side if I was working against one of the recruiters he has trained."



James Fender

Managing Director the Mergis Group

“Tim was head of the training department while we where at Ajilon Finance. Not only did I sit in on Tim's training, but my staff did as well. Tim knows and understands this business very well, and was a big help getting my staff up and running. He will keep your attention the whole time he is in the room with you!!!"

 



 
Jason Berglund

Director Executive Search, KFORCE 

“For me, Tim Kelch is a lot like Bill Walsh, the former coach of the San Francisco 49er's, who led the team to 3 Championships in only 10 seasons. Today, 14 of the 32 coaches in the NFL can trace their lineage to Coach Walsh. If that isn't impressive enough, he instituted a new style of playing the game that to this day influences the strategy of all 32 teams. I have never been trained or reported directly to Tim. But every day that I have worked in the staffing business, I have followed his outline of what makes a recruiter successful. He has a simple formula that is easily understandable and adaptable in a job that can seem to be so complex and overwhelming. He passed that information to people such as Mike Assaad, Shawn Hamele, and Scott Foley, who in turn have trained hundreds of other people. Now many of those individuals, me included, are training the next generation of recruiters... all from Tim's playbook.”
