Praise

The presentation by HR Matters, “How to Hire So You Don’t Have to Fire”, was outstanding.  Ms. Roffwarg was well prepared and organized, maintained extraordinary rapport and invited meaningful participation, and is extremely knowledgeable about hiring.  I now have a much clearer understanding of the importance of planning in the hiring process and the relevance of asking historical vs. rhetorical questions.  What I learned will go a long way in developing my company’s plan for better hiring.  I enthusiastically recommend this program.

During the very informative “How to Hire” seminar, Betty Roffwarg provided a straight forward path and intelligent approach to the hiring process. Her presentation was quick moving and kept the audience’s attention and participation in a very entertaining format. She is a truly experienced human resource professional with definitive understanding of the importance of the hiring process. Betty educates her clients/audience to gain the ability to evaluate and separate true talent from the superficial. I highly recommend this seminar to anyone who has hiring responsibility.

I had the pleasure of working with Betty Roffwarg of HR Matters in my capacity as Chair of the Elite Executive Education Series for the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce. “How to Hire so You Don’t Have to Fire” was one of the workshops that the Chamber sponsored, and I must say that the presentation stood out among the others. The feedback we received from the attendees was outstanding. The participants were from various industries including restaurant, hospitality, property management and food services, and Betty captured the attention of everyone. Her preparation was impeccable and her follow up with each participant after the workshop was equally impressive. I highly recommend Betty’s services.
