PlacementMASTERs GROUPs
This is the only mastermind group in North America that is exclusively for the recruiting industry.
My Story
As a founder in two successful recruiting firms, challenges were never-ending: the problems with clients, candidates, employees, and running a business never stopped. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find qualified, outside perspectives to talk to about my challenges. I was often unsure of what to do. I frequently thought I had the right answers when I didn’t!
I needed the information and perspectives of people who understood my world. I desired the knowledge, wisdom, and insights that only other recruiting firm owners could provide. I wanted to know about other tools, technologies, and tactics that could provide my firm a competitive edge. I also knew I lacked the extra accountability and encouragement that would nudge me to take action on things that I typically put off.
In essence, I wanted a group of “peer advisors” to help me better navigate the ups and downs of the recruiting business.
That’s why I created PlacementMasters mastermind groups to help you fill this unmet need. I get tremendous satisfaction from facilitating impactful, fun, and rewarding interactions with people who are committed to moving their businesses forward with the help of a supportive community.

"Brad and his masterminds were just phenomenal in giving me the tools to pivot, redirect the business, and develop an alternative marketing strategy. To give you an idea, in the last six weeks , I just did the numbers last night, I've developed 71 new contacts at the director and vice president level in It, HR and sales. None of this would've happened without Brad's participation."

"I was involved with Brad's program and it was a fantastic opportunity for us to have an opportunity with other recruiters to get together and share information that you normally wouldn't do at a training session or a conference. I highly recommend it."
Clay Johnson – Executive Vice President of Clifton Johnson Associates

"This gave me the confidence to move forward and feel that what I was doing was correct as well as getting value from all of the individuals who were part of this mastermind and getting terrific input from that group. I got value from everything that we did. And as I said, summing up, it gave me the confidence to move forward and I'm already more successful than I had been at the beginning."
Don Levine – Founder and President at Sharp Search

"Being able to connect with a group of my peers was tremendously helpful; to exchange ideas with them and get some reassurance with concerns that we had. It was really unique because we were from all over the country and being able to hear other people's perspectives, seeing what they're going through, helped me put my situation in perspective. We really began to work more towards solutions to keep our business going versus just discussing problems that we had. I highly recommend being able to attend a mastermind with Brad if you have that opportunity."
Beverly Smith – President at Career Staffing Services

How many people are in a group?
Why 5-10 people? I’ve heard of groups as large as 20-50 people.
5-10 people provide the benefit of multiple minds working together while allowing each member to have adequate time as the “focal point” in each meeting. This allows you to address your most important issues with the focused support of each member. It’s also is small enough to allow members to know and develop trust with each other. To accommodate this goal with more people would require the meetings to stretch out longer.
What monthly time commitments would be expected for the best outcomes?
How long can I remain in the group?
Members can remain in the group indefinitely and are likely to do so as long as you are receiving true value.
See group availability HERE.
What if I find this isn’t right for me?
This program is month to month so if you find this isn’t the right format for you, simply provide 30 days notice.
What resources/tools do I receive as a member?
Members receive:
- A Success Guide to help you set and stay focused on appropriate goals, take meeting notes, take actions on your key takeaways, and prepare for meetings
- Membership to a “message group” for people to share relevant information.
- I also have useful free tools to download HERE.
Can I get “fired” from my group?
Our members deserve a positive, supportive environment where they enjoy participating. If you choose to be disruptive, disrespectful, or non-contributing, I will choose to professionally move you out of the group.
Is this like group coaching?
No, this is different. In group coaching, the focus is on the coach asking questions, providing information, opinions, suggestions, etc. A Mastermind group is a “peer advisory group.” The focus is on the entire group brainstorming, making suggestions, and providing opinions, with a facilitator to provide structure and leadership.
