Kevin Wheeler

“Kevin is a Great Person with lots of knowledge on subjects like Talent Management,Corporate Universities and most of the things that concerned Good Management of Corporations and People Development. I have worked with Kevin in Malaysia to introduce the establishment of Corporate Universities in 2007 and we are still "in love" with the subject because it is all about People and how best can we unleash their hidden talents to ensure they can perform extra ordinary feats by just being ordinary people just like you and me. Kevin travels globally and have a great company ie.Global Learning Resources Inc. and his thoughts and best practices have always enable all of us to take note and act upon them accordingly for our own success stories.”

“I met Kevin through my studies at USF. He has a wealth of knowledge and is a joy to learn from, as he has seen both sides of the fence! Literally! From a Corporate Vice-President of Human Resources to starting his own recruiting business; to now being a futurist traveling the world sharing his knowledge. He always has time to share his vast knowledge and is quick to encourage folks on the path.”

“Kevin Wheeler was one of the first person I hired to help me turnaround our talent function at Yahoo. He and his team evaluated our talent acquisition and development functions against best practice companies and recommended a comprehensive plan to get us to a world class talent management function. While some members of our team were offended by the hard hittling evaluation, it was spot on and became the basis of some excellent work moving forward which allowed Yahoo to compete in what I consider the most intense talent marketplace in recent history.”

“Kevin has deep knowledge of the employment process and an early adopter of Web 2.0 recruiting approaches. Richard Katz, CEO, www.seasonedpro.com”

“Kevin Wheeler has an unusual gift: he combines tremendous experience with an ever-present awareness of what is cutting-edge, current, and timely. He can convey sophisticated concepts in layman’s language. His presentations are gripping and engaging, but not showmanship. They are substantive and illuminating. Kevin is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.”

“Kevin is a deep, visionary and challenging thinker and operator. He has the ability to gently (and some times not so gently) challenge the way we think about talent in organisations. I have worked with Kevin across a number of organisations and industries and with highly intelligent people. As well as being a guru in his field he is a thoroughly decent human being.”

“When preparing to deploy the Arbita brand (in late 2005) I sought out trustworthy and capable advisors. I needed experts who knew more than I did about the global recruiting market to provide strategic guidance. Kevin has been generous with his time and expertise and his recommendations have proven to be invaluable. Kevin tells it like it is. His scope is astonishing. I am grateful to him for his wise cousel and his support in helping us to build a great company.”

“There is only one Kevin Wheeler and I don’t know if words can accurately describe the joy and learning from working with him! I’ve worked with Kevin for a number of years on a multitude of projects and in each case have been delighted with both the outcome and the process. Kevin’s depth of knowledge coupled with his warmth and authentic enjoyment for his clients and work is unprecedented. The knowledge Kevin brings to each engagement spans industries, geographies, social trends and much more to deliver an engaging and thought provoking experience. Kevin’s contributions have helped further results in a manner consistent with the unique need, culture and audience of each engagement. This is in part due to his business approach, which begins and ends with understanding the clients business, cultural environment and current state of change tolerance. I’ve known Kevin for almost a decade…hard to believe…and trust his strategic guidance explicitly.”

“Kevin was one of my professors in my masters program. Kevin focused on the realities, not pure theory, of organizational development initiatives expecially talent management. He provided examples, tools, and straightforward guidance to help everyone understand how to become better practioners.”

“SeasonedPRO retained Kevin Wheeler to help us evaluate Sutter Health career web site and provided meaningful advice and recommendations that was well received by the client. Richard Katz”

“There are few professional relationships over the years that I've enjoyed as much as Kevin. An intelligence that is broad and inclusive but always to the point. Kevin's got a "wit" that won't quit and a global view that is always growing larger. Most important, Kevin is accessible and always willing to share his knowledge and insights. It is no wonder that his clients are always singing his praises.”

“Kevin is one of the few practical practioners I've met in this industry. He's a true professional and someone I seek for advice. I've asked Kevin to help my firm on a few recruiting projects and he always deliver great results. If you're looking for someone to help you overcome your hiring challenges you should seek out Kevin's insight and industrial knowledge.”

“Kevin was introduced to me as an expert in the field of Talent & Recruitment in 2004 during one of his visits to New Zealand. Before that I was an avid reader of his on-line publications and articles on the subject. In the time following our introduction, I have attended several conference events where Kevin has been a keynote speaker and have gleaned invaluable learning from him on global trends in talent, work design of the future, recruitment analytics and related topics. I have also engaged Kevin to deliver presentations on talent issues to senior level management and hiring decision makers within my previous organisation and found this to be an excellent training and education opportunity to highlight key messages to this stakeholder group. This has in turn enabled me to drive talent initiatives within my organisation to a higher level. Kevin is both professional and knowledgeable, but in spite of his vast experience, he is also both personable and an all round "nice guy". It has been my privelege to be associated with him, and my sincere wish is that our association will continue long into the future.”

“I first worked with Kevin to help us evaluate our current processes, identify gaps, and make an "industry" recommendation on tools, technology, etc. It was as much a fact-finding mission as it was an exercise in change management. With Kevin's approachable demeanor and industry expertise, we were able to establish some clear goals with our senior most executives. I appreciate Kevin's colloaborative nature and his true interest in delivering the best results for your company. I really appreciate his objectivity and willingness to challenge respectively. Plus, he's just a fun, smart guy to work with and these days in recruiting can be pretty long! I continue to seek advice from Keving on a regular basis.”

“Kevin is a talent acquisition expert and has been a valuable consultant to my organization.”

“Having worked closely with Kevin over the past eight years on research in learning, cowriting a book, and visually facilitating his group leadership, I have found him to be a powerful force for positive change in organizations. Most amazing is Kevin's ability to lead in a gentle way -- with humor, warmth and wisdom.”

“I started by being a reading "student" of Kevin, then found myself standing shoulder to shoulder as a fellow author on Electronic Recruiting Exchange. Kevin's arguments about recruiting, management, and talent management issues are so well defined, so easy to follow, so informative that it seems they should be obvious to anyone and everyone else. But that is one of the signs of a truly excellent instructor -- they make the complex seem simple. The other perennially outstanding aspect of Kevin is not only his approacbility but also his patience and humility. I like to call him the consummate gentleman. More than a gentleman, he is a very astute and ethical businessman.”

“High-energy...insightful...knows his stuff...competent...well connected...worth getting to know and work with! He is the kind of person that is highly supportive of those he works for and with.”
