Larry Johnson
Human Resource Director, Maverick Natural Resources LLC
“We have been working with Hand & Associates for well over ten years utilizing their outplacement services. We’ve experienced quite a few layoffs over the last few years as our company went through bankruptcy and then transformation upon emergence. The feedback from our former employees who participated in the programs was nothing but excellent. Kevin and his staff were very skilled at handling people in a professional manner and had an approach that was positive and helpful. As a result, I would highly recommend Hand & Associates.”

“Kevin is one of the most connected people I have met in the media/entertainment business. He is particularly strong in his “inside” relationships with media service companies. He is generous with his time with those who are networking in the business and gives good and pragmatic advice. He is a strong effective recruiter. Anyone in the media and entertainment business should make it a point to know him.”

“Hand & Associates established a rapport with me immediately, diagnosed certain gaps in my leadership strengths and set to task identifying the ideal support personnel for me. The exact matching of personalities and skill sets between me and my thought partner at Hand & Associates was as customized and as natural as an expert pairing of fine wine with supper. Through such partnering I have successfully prioritized tasks and initiatives, refined our corporate strategy, reevaluated my management team dynamics, and bridged cultural divides in ways that have been far more successful and effective than before. Equipped with your firm’s tools and insights, I have articulated our future objectives and plans, developed our roadmap to achieve them, and possess the renewed confidence to promote the transparency so vital to an organization during its evolution and maturity.”
