About

My name is AMITAI GIVERTZ and I am responsible for this site and the BROWN BAG RECRUITER initiative. It is a labor of love, supported by sponsors and special friends who “get it.”

Our goal is to provide an ongoing, high-quality, community-based training program at virtually no cost. We also aim to create a cadre of recruiters physically located in the South Florida metro area, sharing the resources here with everyone who has an interest.

BROWN BAG RECRUITER is a training experience, an experiment, a work in progress. It is meant to meet the needs of local recruiters who want to learn new things, meet new friends and improve their overall effectiveness.

The objectives are simple:

Help corporate recruiters develop at a pace that is consistent with their interests, schedules and budget.
Give committed participants an advantage. That includes a systematic approach to getting the job done and access to the tools and techniques practiced by recruiters who are at the top of their game.
Support local businesses that want to improve their ability to find, attract, hire and grow good people and are willing to do something about it.
Facilitate meaningful and profitable relationships for every one who is involved in the network we are creating.

Food for the Mind, Body and Spirit

Each series of 6-10 sessions that make up the program’s learning tracks start with a half-day intensive kick-off session. These four and five-hour workshops lay the foundations for each track. They can serve as a self-contained, standalone workshop too.

We meet regularly for a couple of hours in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and/or Miami to network, share a meal and move through the curriculum.

Full-day workshops, recruiter clinics and online events are regularly scheduled as part of the mix.

One-on-one or on-site support, training and/or coaching is available if it’s needed.

How Much Does it Cost?

The ongoing cost for participation is whatever it takes to rent the room, buy the food and tip the help. Typically, $18.00 per person, per session. Our sponsors and friends pay the freight for everything else.

Training materials and worksheets are free to download from the website after each meeting to keep in your workbook. Additional reference materials and resources are regularly posted on the site.

Full-day workshops and other events are priced separately. In keeping with our mission to make excellent training accessible and affordable, whenever possible, our sponsors help cover some of the expenses.
