Ed is amazing. Period. I was fortunate to work with him at Rapid7 and based on that experience I leapt at the chance to be his first customer when he started Red Pill Talent. He’s incredibly passionate, creative, smart, insightful and just plain fun to work with. I could go on but to preserve some shred of Ed’s trademark humility I’ll stop now. He built a terrific team for us at Rapid7 that allowed us to hire top talent and was one of the keys to our success there. Both there and at Red Pill he’s really innovating in how companies can create an employer brand and attract hard to find talent in today’s insane hiring markets with some out of the box and wildly effective strategies. If you have a chance to work with Ed in any capacity my advice is to RUN NOT WALK to take advantage of it.

Ed is the best! Ed is the most passionate person I know when it comes to Employment Branding and Talent Acquisition. I’ve known Ed since we worked together at Rapid7 years ago. When I joined CloudLock I knew Ed was the person we needed to take CloudLock from an unknown company to the Number 1 Cloud Startup to Work for based on Forbes Magazine. Ed is a great team player and collaborator and really focuses on the unique values and benefits of working at your specific company. Ed is extremely creative and an outside of the box thinker as it relates to helping you bring out the best in your employment brand looking for the factors that make your company unique. I didn’t realize how big his impact is on the Talent Acquisition world until I was fortunate enough to be on a panel with him at TalentConnect. Ed is among the best in the trade and anyone who would be fortunate enough to tap into Ed and Red Pill Talent will see returns in spades while having a lot of fun at the same time!

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Ed for the past 4 months on our talent branding strategy. He’s awesome! He brings tons of energy and passion to everything he does. He really took the time to listen to our needs and learn our industry before jumping in and recommending a strategy. His “can do” attitude is contagious and he really inspired our team to step out of our comfort zone. His suggestions & recommendations are all very reasonable. His approach is very thoughtful and considerate. It’s been a true pleasure working with Ed!

Ed has been amazing in his work with Cisco. The result has been almost immediate, with us landing on top company lists we never were on before and accelerating our followership in leaps and bounds. He has also done a great job of capability building in the social media space with our recruiters.
