Back in February 2008, Shally was the guest presenter at the NJ Metro Staffing Management Association meeting. I had the privilege of introducing him to the audience and did so with these facts.

Chuck Norris can't source no matter how tough he is; but Shally Steckerl can...


If at first you don't find resumes on the Internet, you're not Shally Steckerl.

If Shally Steckerl were a calendar, every month would be named Shallytober, and every day he'd find more resumes better than you.
