Bio
Ralf Peter Messing
I had the pleasure working with Kirk several years in sales and strategic business approach. Not at least his technical knowledge but also his excellent team spirit was one key to formate a global successful operating sales force within the group. Great entertainer, lots of fun, absoltely loyal partner private and in business. I am thankful getting the chance to meet him.
Jackie Nabat, CPC, MBA
Having spent 22 years evaluating talent, I find Kirk to be an exception to most rules. He is astute, funny, conscientious, responsive and loyal and everyone i have introduced him to would be honored to have him as a boss or peer. A Pied Piper of sorts and hence, he's been a pleasure to work with ( hands- off to all other recruiters, I said, he's loyal!). I would never hesitate presenting him to any of my clients should he ever be in a capacity to seek other employment and only hope to have the opportunity of finding others to work on his team if and when his amazing network fails to surface the right talent for him.
