OUR MISSION is to provide the highest caliber consulting and staffing services in training, e-Learning, activation and go-live support, and content development for our clients across industries, from Fortune 500 corporations to world-renowned medical centers.
Our Values
At the core of everything we do at KnowledgeStaff are deeply-held values of professionalism, honesty, and effort. Our clients turn to us again and again because they appreciate our deep commitment to excellence and integrity in every aspect of the consulting and staffing process.
Integrity
Our commitment to integrity is present throughout the KnowledgeStaff process, from selecting best-in-class consultants to working closely with clients to achieve their individual training and activation support goals.
Reliability
Our clients place their trust in us because we pledge absolute responsiveness and reliability throughout the consulting process, ensuring that we meet deadlines and communicate clearly and concisely with key decision makers throughout the engagement.
Flexibility
We understand that clients’ needs change, as do schedules, deadlines, and goals, so we always ensure that our consulting process remains responsive and nimble, allowing us to adapt quickly and effectively to your changing needs.
Proficiency
When you work with a KnowledgeStaff consultant, you are working with a hand-selected, highly-trained, and deeply committed professional who has been personally vetted through our rigorous hiring and qualification process.
Quality
Because we offer specialized services for a carefully curated selection of clients, we are able to guarantee a higher level of quality, attention to detail, and expertise in all levels of training and user support, accomplishing—and often surpassing—client goals and expectations.
Teamwork
A cornerstone of KnowledgeStaff’s success is a commitment to collaboration and cooperation, ensuring everyone from our executive leadership to our consultants in the field operate with dignity, honesty, and respect for our client-first model.
We began KnowledgeStaff to help two important groups of people: our clients and the professionals in our field.
Our founder Ross Squire began KnowledgeStaff in 2002 after decades in the training and content development industry. Joined by industry veteran Cathy Acker, they created a company that reflects what they believed was missing in the industry: a firm focused deeply on learning and development alongside a commitment to success for both clients and consultants.
Leadership
KnowledgeStaff is led by two experienced industry veterans who bring a new perspective to the training and development and activation support world. Together, they oversee an elite group of consultants selected through a careful hiring and qualification process.
Ross Squire
President
Ross began KnowledgeStaff in 2002 after more than 25 years in the learning and content development and delivery industry, including leadership roles at Knowledge Transfer International and ClearPoint Consultants. He is a frequent speaker and author on topics related to career development, instructional technology, and the content development industries. He has been married for over 30 years, takes great pride in his two children, and can often be found surfcasting in the wee hours of the night on the beaches throughout Long Island.
