When he’s not giving top-notch advice about assessments to The Brooks Group’s clients, Richard travels to car shows throughout the southeast with his wife Wendy, his dog Sadie, and his award-winning, tangerine pearl ’03 PT Cruiser and ’06 Chevy SSR (in Redline Red). |
“The assessment results themselves, as well as your personal comments, have significant weight in our hiring decisions. I’ve found your comments to be very accurate and I will even admit that I’ve lived to regret a hiring decision I made that was contrary to your recommendations…and the person hired did not work out – as you predicted”
--Thomas B. Madden, General Manager, Ryerson Tull – Milwaukee
