Mike Burgess is brilliant! We hired him to put together our first ever Employee Handbook and the outcome was a quality resource piece that will serve as an invaluable instrument in building our business. We have a small company and cannot afford to hire a full time dedicated HR representative, but we now plan to keep HR Straight Talk on retainer for all of our Human Resources needs. Thank you Mike!

Mike was integral in building a human resource department for the business. It was his leadership over the years that set the groundwork for a proven track record of building and leading a successful department. During a particular growth phase, the company expanded to three business units. Mike was key in being a catalyst for change in the organization and helped the units set up and grow. An example was the recruiting and mass hiring which helped the company generate revenue quickly.
