Testimonials

At Roadrunner, Dave Renfrew and I were part of what is now known as transportation’s greatest comeback story. As a recruiting leader over multiple companies with 60 plus recruiters, I thought I had mastered the art of recruitment. Yet, my experience with Dave turned out to be incredibly enriching, introducing me to new strategies and expanding my professional toolkit.

Dave’s profound insight into the importance of process-driven results changed my perspective significantly. He demonstrated that success in recruitment and retention is deeply rooted in meticulously designed processes, a principle that has stayed with me long after our collaboration.

What sets Dave apart is his ability to identify and leverage opportunities with vendors previously off our radar, showcasing his exceptional strategic thinking. These partnerships proved to be pivotal in our success, highlighting Dave’s forward-thinking approach.

Furthermore, Dave’s innovative strategies for keeping recruiters and processors motivated, aligned, and rewarded have made a lasting impact. His methods not only enhanced our team’s productivity but also nurtured a culture of appreciation and achievement.

Now at Recruit Hire Retain, Dave continues to apply his vast knowledge and expertise to the field. His contributions at Roadrunner were invaluable, and I am confident he remains a transformative force in the industry.
