“Lynn is a master storyteller and has a dazzling presence onstage. So compelling and inspiring, and my experience in working with Lynn over the years as she assisted with presenting viable candidates for our open positions, the candidates were always confident, competent, and engaging in the interviews with their work history “stories” and they were always a great match for the job requirements. So besides being an accomplished storyteller, she’s an accomplished listener!”

“As a member of the Programming Committee of IABC Chicago, I had the pleasure of bringing Lynn into our organization to present to our members on the current job market and how to succeed as a candidate. Few recruiters understand the communications and marketing career space better than Lynn Hazan. She has led her firm, Lynn Hazan & Associates, since 2000, specializing in placing communications, public relations, and marketing professionals in some of the nation’s top employers.
As a speaker, Lynn gave our members what they were looking for — and then some! Lynn’s program was filled with tips and tool sto increase self-awareness, highlight strengths, and put your best foot forward as a job candidate. She introduced our members to current thought leaders in career positioning and provided online tools to assess the effectiveness of their LinkedIn profiles and to tell more compelling stories through their resumes and interview approaches.
After the program, attendees lined up to speak with her and receive a brief, tailored dose of wisdom on their most pressing questions about the current job market. Lynn stayed until every question was answered, and each attendee seemed satisfied that they had a direction forward.
Whether you are a hiring manager looking to attract the best talent in the communications and marketing space, a candidate looking for your next best opportunity, or the leader of a group whose members are interested in these topics — I would recommend Lynn Hazan any time as a speaker, a recruiter, and world-class communicator with a heart of gold. “

“I’ve been working with Lynn Hazan as a freelance writer for over 16 years! Our relationship began in 2007 when Lynn placed me as a writer for a national, hi-tech PR firm. Since then, my work with that client has blossomed into a wonderful long-standing relationship.
In addition, Lynn has connected me with an additional client for ongoing work in the HR space that has bolstered my business over the last three years. Throughout all of this time, Lynn has been a true partner and advocate.”
