I have had the pleasure of working with Barry over the course of the past 18 months. He has never failed to provide outstanding customer service from his response time to the accuracy of the data that has been provided. Barry has also been a resource to me professionally in my growth as it relates to Compensation in the HR function and spent invaluable time explaining and "digging deep" to ensure I had the knowledge needed to move forward. It's safe to say that Barry and Effective Resources are my go-to resources for any compensation and/or job description needs.
- Amber Segroves, Regional HR Manager, FleetPride

I did a nationwide search to find a consultant to help me put together a bonus program for my company. After narrowing down the prospects and speaking with
several consultants, I selected Barry Brown with Effective Resources. From the very beginning, I could tell Barry was different because he listened to exactly what I needed and crafted his proposal to meet those needs. As Barry developed our plan, he was very respectful of my time and scheduled several short but effective phone meetings to update me on the progress and to make sure he was on the right track. We ended up with a bonus plan that I was very happy with!

Effective Resources offers survey sources that are very detailed and comprehensive. We have used their surveys for the last 10+ years to review the competitive market for benchmark positions and to develop our compensation strategies. We have also used them to develop customized surveys which have been very beneficial when it has been difficult to find specific market data. I would recommend their services.

My experience with Effective Resources was rewarding on multiple levels. As my first time writing an AAP, I didn't know where to begin, but Angel showed the patience and depth of understanding to help me through what would have otherwise been an unpleasant lesson. On top of simply completing the AAP, I gained a wealth of knowledge on the process and the 'why' behind all that was done. I see that component as the icing on the cake for me. But wait, the story isn't over. We also drew an OFCCP Audit, which was of course another new experience for me. Angel took the time and worked with me on ensuring our response was thorough and on target, all the while suffering through my endless questions. Our audit was a success, due in no small part to Angel's approach, knowledge, and willingness to be there for us. Thank you, Angel!

She has been really responsive in turnaround time and has coached us well in terms of aspects we needed to put in place to ensure we were in compliance with all the relevant labor laws applying to being a Federal Contractor. Angel's professionalism and her own understanding of HR make her a delight to work with.

We have used Effective Resources for our affirmative action needs for the last three years. This service has been indispensable to us as a federal contractor. The Affirmative Action Plan they put together for us each year is comprehensive, accurate and keeps us in compliance. Angel is truly an expert in her field and is quick to answer questions regarding any AA issue and has walked us through several audits.

We are extremely pleased with the service we receive from Effective Resources and would highly recommend them.
