Mikes’ philosophy is … “All businesses can be boiled down to three things Products, Profits and People. But if you don’t hire the right People, Products and Profits don’t have a chance.” We are committed to partnering with companies helping them Develop People, Attract People, Retain People and, Transition People. We “Develop” people with our e-learning catalog of training via SkillSoft. We “Attract” people with our Strategic Recruiting and
Executive Search services. We “Retain” people using our Skills Assessment and Executive Coaching services. We help organizations and individuals in “Transition” with our Career Counseling and Outplacement services.
