TESTIMONIALS
“I won’t ever forget you Mary Ann!!”
You are the only person I ever reach out to when it comes to needing talent or someone in a bind looking for a job.. because you are one of the few who truly care about people and see the potential in people. I will always be your biggest fan!

“Expand Your Career”

I really enjoyed interacting with Mary Ann during the workshop and found her approach to help you find a dream job or to expand your career valuable.

I found Mary Ann to be insightful and energetic while bringing a refreshing approach to recruiting and finding talent. I would recommend any opportunity you may have to work with or interact with Mary Ann.

I loved the way she spoke to every meaningful objective and brought great material (Five Steps Faremouth Method) that was relevant to the event.

“How Lucky They Are to Have Heard”
Mary Ann, what a powerful addition you were to Operation Graduate. Your wisdom and experience is so valuable to our students and graduates just starting out. How lucky they are to have heard from an expert in the employ-ability field with direct knowledge of what it takes to stand out and succeed during the hiring process. Your kind words about our team made me so proud of it.
“Strategic Talent Acquisition”
For me, Revolutionary Recruiting bridges the gap between tactical recruiting, where the primary focus is filling vacancies, and strategic talent acquisition, which is ongoing strategy to strengthen the talent and leadership pipeline for a company. In today’s fast-paced and efficiency-focused marketplace, Mary Ann Faremouth provides a thoughtful and persuasive business case for why employers, recruiters, and even candidates, should intentionally invest the additional time and energy necessary to do a thorough analysis of the whole individual when matching candidates to job openings. Mary Ann provides a great road map for accomplishing this using The Faremouth Method, and she skillfully demonstrates the use of this tool in a variety of situations, together with illustrative stories from her own personal and professional experiences. Moreover, Mary Ann’s genuine passion for the underlying concept and impetus for The Faremouth Method is evident in her writing and her enthusiasm is contagious. I strongly recommend this book for those who see their work as not just a job, but as part of their own legacy.
“Highly Recommend This Book!”
At some point in everyone’s childhood we were asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” And at that time, we were encouraged to dream big and go for anything. Mary Ann Faremouth’s book brings that limitless mystique back into adulthood for all parties involved the workforce: the employee, employer and recruiter. Even if you are not actively searching or hiring, there is a lot to learn as you read Faremouth’s book. Yes, this book has explicit strategies for recruiters, job seekers and employers, but that’s just the surface content. Mary Ann shares her innovative wisdom by teaching strategy while tapping into the bigger picture - self actualization and human passion in the workplace. I love that this book is written through the lens of understanding human psyche so that both the employer and employee are equally fulfilled in their symbiotic roles. Not only is Faremouth extremely knowledgeable, as you read be prepared to feel inspired by her zest for life and genuine passion to help others find happiness, build a legacy and make the world a better pace.
“I Absolutely Love the Multi-Faceted”
Mary Ann Faremouth is part psychologist, part sociologist, part job coach, and part business woman. I absolutely love the multi-faceted, 360 degree approach to finding the round hole for the round peg. The Faremouth Method is insightful, sophisticated, and inspirational, yet so very easy to apprehend, embrace and adopt. For the employer, she demonstrates an astute awareness of today’s economic and business realities and how they affect personnel matters. For the job seeker, she delivers hope to those who may feel they are limited or defined by their job history - a history that may bear little or no resemblance to their true interests and passions. For the recruiter, she lays out a clear and easy-to-follow roadmap that is fail safe in my opinion.
The book has so many dimensions - flyovers at 30,000 feet to discuss socioeconomic trends and generational differences, for example, and then pounding the pavement with important fundamentals such as listening and interviewing, self-assessment and vocational tests. Effortless flow through the presentation of concepts, case studies, and specific recommendations to the recruiters, job seekers and employers.
Mary Ann's thoughts and ideas are well organized and presented, her writing is clear and concise, and her use of tasty rhetorical devices (“under the hood”, “your attitude determines your altitude”), kept me alert, interested, and amused. I was captivated by her powerful optimism, her compassion, and her dedication to service. It was an honor and joy to read Revolutionary Recruiting.
