I spent nearly 20 years in professional services marketing, sales, and business development. Before launching GoodSeeker I was the CMO of one of the top midsize consulting firms in the country. Amazing team.
I always knew success stories from clients about the positive impact of our work held a lot of value for marketing and recruiting too. However, for most organizations asking for testimonials was always a struggle and a dance.
The challenge of motivating professionals to ask for testimonials was an issue I studied. I asked tons of questions to pinpoint what makes gathering testimonials so hard to sustain…

I’m often asked why GoodSeeker exists.
My Eureka moment came when I (as a former CMO) had the opportunity to work with recruiting and HR. I learned a lot about employee sentiment, employee ambassadors, and the impact of anonymous employer review sites. I learned that the perception of your employer brand is formed well ahead of anyone talking to you, and that the people you hope to attract (talent, customers, partners, donors, etc.) trust employees a lot more than marketing and advertising.

A definition that gets to the heart of employee experience is found in a McKinsey & Company Leadership & Organization article titled Employee experience: essential to compete. Authors Naina Dhingra, Jonathan Emmett, and Mahin Samadani states:

What are we moving towards? When it’s ok to be hateful because apologizing earns you praise. What happens when hate finds its way into work? Will people be happier. More productive. More committed to quality. More focused on the customer. More focused on the team. Will companies perform at their best when hate is acceptable? There is not a CEO on earth who would say that hate makes business better. The more we shrug it off the more likely we are to end up losing the things we value most. Most adults spend the bulk of their adult life working. Which means businesses can play a vital role in bringing back civility and showing people that division is not the path to progress. Businesses can not afford to divide, and we can not afford to tolerate hate — no matter what side of the party lines you fall.
