Our Story

As corny as this sounds, John Vlastelica knew, at 17 years old, that he'd start his own company someday. In High School, he was a business geek, reading Fortune Magazine for fun, helping to run the student store, and working in a corporate office after school. He was encouraged to participate in DECA, a business club, which encouraged young people to write a business plan and then compete head to head with other young entrepreneurs to see who could sell their ideas to real corporate finance and marketing leaders in an intense competition. John took his business plan for "Action Advertising," his selling skills, and his nervous energy beyond the state competition to place third in the national entrepreneurship competition. It was a huge confidence builder and a confirmation that he should pursue a business degree and, eventually, start his own company.

After graduating first in his class with a BA in Business, John spent about a dozen years working in two of the fastest growing industries of the last two decades: Wireless Telecom and E-Commerce. He was a natural recruiter and recruiting leader who enjoyed the challenge of building and scaling the recruitment capabilities of the companies he worked for. Both companies offered him incredible entrepreneurial freedom, but by the mid-2000s, he knew he needed to give his own business a shot.

Recruiting Toolbox was born from the idea that busy corporate recruiting leaders, like John, didn't have time to get to all of the critical projects they identified in their goal setting sessions each year. John believed they'd benefit from a specialized consulting and training firm that employed successful ex-corporate recruiting leaders who understood their pain and priorities, and delivered real-world solutions to their recruiting strategy, process, systems, and training needs.

Today, John has grown Recruiting Toolbox into a leading recruitment consulting and training firm focused on building and deploying customized tools and training that is now used by clients across North America.
