What Recruit Right does

Recruit Right is an HR consulting, training, and publishing firm founded in 1999 by Rebecca Mazin and headquartered in Larchmont, Westchester County, New York. The firm operates with 1-10 employees — effectively a solo-practitioner consultancy centered on the founder's 20+ years of HR experience at Millennium Hotels, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, Owens Corning, and the National Labor Relations Board, plus a Cornell University degree in Labor Relations. Its services are organized into three revenue streams: HR consulting (employee relations, strategic staffing, handbook and policy creation, workplace investigations, performance management), hands-on training programs (leadership, communications, performance management, behavioral interviewing, customer service, harassment prevention), and published works (The HR Answer Book, First Time Firing, and The Employee Benefits Answer Book, generating licensing/royalty income via AMACOM and Wiley). The firm also resells third-party assessment tools as an Authorized Partner for Wiley's Everything DiSC suite and the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team program (developed with Patrick Lencioni).

The business model is professional-services-led with a small ancillary licensing/royalties tail. Pricing is quote-based and tailored per engagement, with multi-year contracts noted for some engagements; no public price list exists. The go-to-market is direct sales and enterprise field engagement, supported by content-led demand generation through the founder's Twitter handle (@thehranswer), AllBusiness Expert Articles, PR in business publications, and the founder's book portfolio. Customer segmentation is horizontal: the firm serves small businesses and start-ups as well as 'industry giants,' with no industry specialization disclosed. The firm is privately held, founder-owned, with no institutional investment, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Geographic distribution is regional for consulting/training and global for book sales (via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and local bookstores; The HR Answer Book has been translated into Chinese and Greek). The 2013 Small Business Book Award from Small Business Trends is the only formal recognition on record. The company website is active with a 2021 copyright date and no AI/ML capabilities are evident in the offering.
