“Several years ago, Don Jasensky changed my life for the better. Not only was he instrumental in setting me on a new career path by placing me with a wonderful organization, but, equally beneficial, he became a dear friend in the process. I cannot imagine a better colleague from whom to seek advice and positive action when undertaking a career move.”

George Godfrey

CEO and 25-year automotive industry executive

“Many people, maybe even most people in the retail automotive business, do a splendid job of “talking” about how to improve performance by hiring the right people. However, very FEW actually execute a plan that results in a marked improvement. Don Jasensky and his company, Automotive Personnel, “walk the walk.” Their ability to find first-class personnel is unrivaled in the automotive industry. Their propensity to underpromise and overdeliver sets them apart from the pretenders (many) in the retail automobile business. Their understanding of the dynamics inside a retail store plus their experience on the sales side makes them a rare commodity. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense approach to improved personnel decisions, Don and Automotive Personnel are the right team. He is a credit to the automotive profession.”
