the decrease problem calls throughout the days I could enjoy the

Client Testimonial:
"After working with Beth Smith of A-list Interviews for the
past several months, I continue to be amazed at her ability to know
the right people for specific positions. She conducted
several dozen interviews with me, and narrowed down our hires to
just a few people, all of who have turned out to be fantastic
employees. She has dramatically changed the culture of my
staffing environment - not only by teaching myself a lot about my
own management style, strengths and weaknesses, but also about
managing people in general. She helped me hire the right
people, and guided me through a new orientation process for staff
that has gotten my team off to the best start yet. Within a
week everyone was working at a capacity that had taken several
weeks, if not months, in the past, and the business is thriving
with this new efficiency and cohesion."

Client Testimonial:
"From our small company perspective, deciding to retain the
services of A-list Interviews was a difficult financial
decision. Now in hindsight, hiring Beth Smith has been one of
the best business decisions that we have ever made. Beth has
helped us hire two exceptional employees that have exceeded our
every hope and wish - making our lives much easier, and coming to
work everyday a joy.
Not only did Beth lead us through the entire hiring process with
guidance, confidence and clarity, she also took the time to teach
us how to learn and manage our future employee hiring. On our
own, we now have the tools and structure necessary to lead a
successful interview process. In addition, Beth has proven to
be open and willing to coach us as we go."

Client Testimonial:
"I had embarked on trying to find the right person to add to our
company. I had always thought I had a great ability to
interview people and choose the right person. However, I was
looking for the right person to take our company to the next
level. One who had true integrity, good work ethic and would
be honest. This is very hard to screen for.
When Beth Smith of A-list Interviews entered the picture, I had
already written and posted a job ad. I had received many
resumes. The first round of interviews was with people who
responded to my ad. Beth came in and interviewed 7 candidates
with me - all of which did not pass her Response Analysis
System™. She taught me how to evalutate their
responses so I understood why these candidates did not pass.
She assisted me in writing a better job ad and we did a second
round of interviews. It was in that round of interviews that
we found our A-list candidate. I couldn't be more happy with
the person we found. She shows true integrity, goes the extra
mile and does things I don't even ask her to do. How
refreshing to have found someone who is an A-list member of our
team!"

Client Testimonial:
"Hiring people is the hardest thing I do in running my Company
and my least favorite task. Beth changed my perspective when she
came in to hire a critical position in my business. The process was
painless, quick and very efficient. Another benefit of hiring Beth
is that I am more likely to hire earlier for a position knowing
that I am not the one doing the legwork. What would normally have
taken me 2 months to accomplish was completed in 1 week. From the
initial meeting to the hiring of the candidate Beth kept me
informed of where she was in the process and answered all of my
questions. I will never hire someone again without the involvement
of A-list Interiews."

Interviews. My new staff member is dedicated, capable, and a

employee so I can work with A-list again!"
