Who is Mike Lejeune?
Part expert, part wise mentor, part engaging storyteller - Mike Lejeune gets folks talking. And thinking. As a 28 year veteran of the recruiting and staffing industry, Mike is passionate about people and about excellence - and it shows.
Audiences respond to Mike's training sessions and keynote addresses with knowing nods, hurried note-taking, and even laughter. He's been in the trenches. He knows. As an executive search and contract placement "switch hitter," Mike delivers plenty of practical application in every engagement, along with motivation, inspiration, education and entertainment. And business owners, recruiters and trainers take away specific techniques and tools they can put to work immediately in their own spheres of influence.
"Watching Mike speak is like watching him train his own staff," one business owner says. "He looks at routine practices in a fresh, out-of-the-box way and people come away utterly energized."
A Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) and a Certified Temporary Staffing Specialist (CTS), Mike Lejeune serves as Executive Vice President and Partner of Steverson Staffing Services. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Steverson serves market niches in accounting, office administration and information technology. Mike joined the firm in 1992 to build its accounting division, and within three years Steverson Accounting Professionals contributed almost 50% of the sales for the entire company. He currently manages sales and marketing, operations and new product development for Steverson – but he doesn’t stay locked in the office.
Mike travels, writes and speaks extensively, and has held numerous leadership roles in the industry. And at the 2006 National Association of Personnel Services Annual Conference, Mike surprised himself by winning the “American Idol of Recruiting Trainers” contest hosted by Danny Cahill. Ask him what put him over the top…and about what he can do for your next meeting or training session. His answers may just surprise you.
