We’ve been getting some amazing feedback on the first-ever Fordyce Forum – a whopping 97% of the attendees that responded to our survey at the Forum rated the event as “good” or “excellent”!

Check out this hand-written note that Mark Demaree, the President of Top Echelon Network, sent to Paul Hawkinson, The Fordyce Letter’s Editor.

Here are a few more comments from attendees:

"For a first conference, it was exceptionally well promoted, well organized, well run; fantastic presenters, great topics. Very worth my time/$."

"Great job Paul - I'll bring back my senior recruiters again."

"I liked that it wasn't a replica of NAPS. It catered to more senior recruiters. The speakers were very useful."

"Love the fact that most speakers have industry current involvements some actually still working a desk. Everyone was very friendly and willing to share ideas and concepts. That was a pleasant surprise."

"Extremely validating to understand all recruiters have similar frustrations such as wild goose-chase searches, unethical clients, unruly candidates, counter offers, etc. Also validating to understand where I stack up against my colleagues, and what it takes to bill $1MM."

"Excellent. Please do it again!"

"Keep it blunt, candid and outspoken just as this one was. I will attend again. Very good stuff. When is the next forum?"

"I loved the access to such successful recruiters. The motivation and enthusiasm for our industry was phenomenal!"

We will definitely be running The Fordyce Forum again next year!
