“Brien is top notch in my eyes as someone who excels at all levels. He is passionate about his job, he makes incredible meaningful connections with so many people (especially new recruits), and he goes the extra mile.”

“Brien is the absolute GOAT (Greatest of all Time). He brings such great energy, experience and very unique perspectives that truly bring things to life. He does things with purpose and truly has an eye for seeing the true potential in people.”

“They say you can’t teach enthusiasm and passion, so luckily Brien already has more of that than any person I’ve ever met. Management is a job, but leadership is a lifestyle - Brien has that.”

“Brien's commitment as a champion for diversity and inclusion, building collaboration and driving innovative approaches in the campus recruitment ecosystem is truly unparalleled.

Brien is always the first person to get behind an innovative idea, help rally support and ensure that diverse perspectives are brought to the conversation. ”

“Brien’s work and impact really speaks from his knowledge of Talent Acquisition and his approach to it. He is caring, thoughtful and always willing to listen. Any knowledge that he has he is willing to share. You can see that when he presents at events and conferences. He is just that type of person who doesn’t hold anything back and loves to share as much as he can to help you out.”

"I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing and working with Brien Convery for over 8 years.

What I admire most about Brien is his compassion, always making time for students and people and most of all living and encouraging people to be their authentic selves.

Through his exceptional leadership, he has set an incredible example for not only young people but all business professionals.”

“Brien is a charismatic, determined, passionate, transformational mentor and leader. He has an uncanny ability to be very clear and focused with his vision which empowers his teammates, partners and clients to cut through the clutter to better serve the communities that need our help.”

 "Brien has been a key influence in my educational and career exploration. His mentorship has led me to new opportunities and allowed me to connect with a variety of talented individuals. I am very grateful for the valuable experience he consistently provides.”

“Meeting Brien is like finding the ideal bistro table on a sunny afternoon off! His presence is warm and engaging, his spirit is bright, and not once do you feel like your career portfolio makes you inferior next to his well established one.

I met Brien when I worked at RBC. Although it has been more than a handful of years since then, his diligent commitment to building inclusion into the culture via coffee chats, recognition of people’s excellence, and solidly steady communications have never been forgotten.”

“Brien’s invigorating talk around Breaking the Bias, sparked a transformative shift with our team and SLT. He sensitized us to the uncharted hurdles diverse candidates navigate in todays evolving corporate landscape”

“Brien has been always easy to approach and blends easily with everyone around him. It has been an absolute pleasure to work and learn along side Brien at RBC from 2020 to 2021.

He was involved with my professional goal development plan and provided me mentorship throughout the given time period. He would always greet everyone with a smile that not only fills you with joy but also with so much confidence.

He also provided me coaching when it came to developing soft skills needed on the path of becoming an emotionally intelligent leader. With his excellent interpersonal and communication skills, I wouldn’t think twice to work again with Brien and keep learning from him. He leaves a positive impact where he goes.”

“My experience working with Brien has been nothing short of extraordinary.

I have had the pleasure of both interacting with Brien, as well as speaking with a wide breadth of students that have. What I’ve heard and seen first hand is that he will go out of his way to not only engage students, but also to ensure that everyone feels welcome and supported. I have yet to encounter a student who hasn’t felt this way when engaging with him, and it mean a lot to both myself and others.”

“Brien is a fantastic Early Talent Acquisition professional.

We first connected in the summer of 2018 and when we sat down for coffee I immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. Brien takes a genuine interest in people. I feel lucky to have gotten to know Brien and experience his ability to inspire the people around him.”

“In the early days of my career with RBC as a student in the Early Talent program, I looked up to Brien as a role model for effective leadership, public speaking, and diversity & inclusion.

I had the opportunity to meet countless of Brien’s team members prior to meeting him, and saw first-hand his skill at building an effective and compassionate Early Talent community.

After having the opportunity to meet with Brien 1on1, he provided me with valuable advice that placed me on the career path I continue to travel, and has instilled many leadership values that I strive to demonstrate everyday.”
