Corey Harlock Information

Corey Harlock has spent more than 20 years at the executive management level in the hotel and restaurant sectors. He has worked in Australia with celebrated chef Paul Merrony, and in the Cayman Islands. Here in Canada, Corey was a multi-unit food and beverage manager for one of Canada's leading boutique hotel companies, as well as a general manager for a major Canadian full-service restaurant company. After joining an executive recruitment firm in 2006, Corey started to notice an obvious gap between candidates and clients - and what each group was looking for. He began designing a custom interview process that would enable his clients to find the right "match" when hiring new employees ... but what he found was that many of the applicants were leaving his office "enlightened" after completing his interview. Corey soon realized that his custom interview technique, with its insightful, perceptive questions, was challenging people to look at their career in a totally different way. Corey has taught aspects of his system, which is literally based on thousands of candidate interviews, at post-secondary institutions and English as a Second Language (ESL) schools. And now, after years of perfecting and refining, he's making the Skills to Achieve program available to everyone. Corey is a member of the advisory board for the Hospitality Management program at Calgary's SAIT Polytechnic, and a former committee member for Tourism Calgary's White Hat Awards.
