The stakes are high when making a hire critical to your organization’s success. PeopleWise specializes in these critical hire searches, whether leadership or a key individual contributor, bringing a level of focus and commitment that large recruiting firms simply aren't built for. Many hiring challenges don't require a full-service search. In those situations, we fine-tune and/or augment existing talent management processes and systems to set the organization up for long term success. We are also certified experts in Talent Optimization using The Predictive Index, the only Certified Master Trainer within 100 miles of Albany. Let us show you how to build and develop high performing teams with data, not gut feel. Chris Wessell and Amy Johnson bring together 50+ years of experience in talent management advisory to businesses ranging from startups to global enterprises. Chris and Amy owned & operated their own firms for decades and often collaborated on projects, eventually merging their practices in 2020.
