Rush Recruiting & HR

I hired Rush Mentoring Services some time ago to do ads and interviews for an assistant I needed. She saved me huge amounts of time and presented me with the top 3 candidates based on her review of applicants. The winning candidate she found is still with me and performs superbly. Lori listened to my description of the job and the type of person and personality I wanted.
Now years later, I’ve had chances to see her in action providing search, resume and overall HR services to a variety of clients. She continues to exude warmth and a very bright personality. She goes to training courses to keep abreast of legal and regulatory changes, thereby keeping her clients out of trouble and in compliance.
How often do you find a person who is technically brilliant at their field and who has a wonderful personality you love working with? I sure did with Rush Mentoring Services.

I recently met with Lori to discuss job finding services for a family member. The first thing that struck me about Lori was her confidence. She literally answered my questions at the blink of any eye. I felt so confident that she could help me that I immediately told my subject. She has years of experience in the field and has several, very flexible payment options. She can work hourly or whatever suits your budget. I strongly recommend her service if you’re in the market for a job or if you’re an employer looking for good people. She knows how to get right to the heart of the matter!

I’m applying for jobs in Portland right now. I wanted to get a little help in my search. Someone recommended Rush Mentoring Services to me, and I am so glad I went to meet Lori Rush.
The first thing I noticed when I went to visit was how welcomed I felt. The receptionist was warm and friendly and offered me something to drink. Before I even met Lori, it was clear that my presence in the office was welcome, and I felt like an honored guest.
My meeting with Lori was highly beneficial with valuable information and lively interaction. My primary goal was to get help with my resume, which I had sent to her in advance. Lori had already looked over it and had several great ideas right off the bat. I thought my resume looked pretty good, but her experience in the field allowed her to pinpoint ways for me to make my resume even more powerful and concise. In addition to our meeting, she was available later via email to look over the changes I made to my resume.
Perhaps the most special part of the meeting was how Lori «got me» and why I do my work. She heard my heart and even got teary-​eyed as I talked about my passions! In a time when I was feeling a little uncertain about myself, it was so empowering to receive Lori’s words as a mirror for me.
I left her office feeling really good about myself, and armed with great tools to assist my job search. Lori Rush really knows her stuff.

I run a small business with about 20 employees on the payroll. It’s gotten to the size where I need an HR department but it’s not quite big enough that I can afford one. Thankfully, whenever I have HR questions or needs, I can use the invaluable services of Rush Mentoring Services. Their work is exceptional and a real life saver. Lori Rush has helped out with hiring, discharging employees, written employee handbooks and career counseling. Recently, I had a sticky situation with employees that really baffled and stressed me out! I didn’t know how to handle it but I was sure Lori Rush would. She walked me through everything and even came to my office to help me deal with the problem directly — and to act as a witness. Her advice and guidance during the whole process couldn’t have been any better. We were able to work through the issue with minimal workplace interruption. Her compassion and understanding turned a bad situation into a blessing. I highly recommend Rush Mentoring Services and all that they offer!

Wow is it hard to find good people right now. I manage a small countertop company and it has been so hard to find the right people. I generally post our jobs on Craigslist and get all kinds of people applying. It is so time consuming to review resumes and interview and the bulk of the people coming in are just not a good fit. Lori was so awesome when I called her in my moment of need. She got right on recruiting and I really felt like I had someone on my team. I would definitely use Lori again when I need to hire staff. Quality begets quality.

As a small business owner who has always attempted to do everything single-​handedly, it was such an incredible relief to encounter the bright, confident HR professional I found in Lori. When considering my HR questions and thinking about my staffing needs, I always felt overwhelmed and out of my element. After meeting Lori, all of my worries melted away. She has proved to be a wealth of information and expertise, and now when HR issues present themselves, I feel confident because I know Lori will help. I love how adaptable her services are, and how they are structured to be accessible for even the smallest businesses (like mine). I had no idea that a resource like this was available to someone on such a small scale as me, so now I recommend Rush Mentoring Services to everyone I can.

My own experience with Lori was great so I decided to share her with my clients.
When you are an entrepreneur you wear all the hats. One of those is the human resources hat and it is the one that most of my clients are most likely not to want to wear. That is why Lori Rush is the perfect resource for my clients. While they do not have experience in recruiting, hiring, on-​boarding, employee conflict, managing employee performance or executing terminations. Lori does. She gives them a full service human resources department without a full time commitment to the cost. She fills a gap that makes a great contribution to their success and to mine as an executive coach who specializes in working with and providing resources for entrepreneurs. Thanks Lori!

Most of my clients are business owners that are already successful. They are taking their business to the next level. The first step is to evaluate how they will change their organizational structure. That means hiring new, best fit employees. Typically they do not have time for or experience in recruiting and hiring. Many times they do not have a budget for a full time recruiter or dedicated human resources professional. I refer them to the perfect solution — Lori Rush and Rush Mentoring Services. Lori has never disappointed me. She fits well into any organization I have referred and 100% have been pleased with her professionalism, expertise, and her cost effective approaches to filling the talent management gap.

The first time I met with Lori we discussed my future career plans and goals. From there she took my tattered old resume and turned it into an extremely useful tool. The very first job I applied for using my shiny new cover letter and resume got me both a first and second interview. I could not have gotten that far so easily in the interviewing process without Lori’s dedication to my needs.

Lori Rush of Career Mentoring Services is a highly dedicated, technically brilliant and highly compassionate individual. She’s always my first and only recommendation for someone who needs to work on their networking or interviewing skills or who is amidst a job search. Lori is also a great resource for helping you create a resume that will get people’s attention and is customized for the job you are seeking. I respect Lori for her willingness to work tirelessly without complaint. Lori can help people doubting their abilities, unsure on what from their background to emphasize and not, or how to make their experience real and invaluable to prospective employers. The comment I’ve heard Lori’s clients make time after time is that they walk away from her services with a new sense of confidence in a highly competitive job market. For people in these troubled times, Lori Rush is the only person I’d recommend for career mentoring services.

As a small business owner, I have hired Lori as a Human Resources Consultant. With only two employees, I have no need for a full time HR Department and hiring a Consultant fit my business model perfectly. It has proven to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for keeping my business running at optimum level. Her years of experience in the Human Resource field — recruiting, development and training, marketing, management and operations — have helped me to further determine my plan for growth, hiring additional employees, as well as making sure all my HR needs were met. I look forward to working with Lori again as my HR Consultant.
