Greetings, and welcome to the Shaker Consulting Group blog.
This month marks our eighth anniversary. Our journey has been one marked by deeply rewarding relationships with outstanding individuals, magical opportunities to work with staffing and recruiting practitioners at some of the finest companies in the world, and the creation and evolution of Virtual Job Tryout®. Looking back brings a smile to my face. We are fortunate to have accomplished so much. Thank you.
Along with our foray into the blogosphere, comes our new identity, website and a greater sense of clarity on who we are and the value proposition we offer the market.

This is an honor we take with pride, yet also with a degree of seriousness that reflects the responsibility we have to deliver a candidate experience as unique as the brand of each of our clients.
Our clients have compelled us to innovate. In response, we have expanded the measurement rigor and selection science available from custom simulations and multi-method assessment. This collaborative process has generated an array of solutions which address both the selection and development of talent that delivers superior results. Becoming a trusted partner to so many “Best-in-Class” corporations is humbling. Thank you for placing your confidence in Shaker.
