John Ruffini

Trainer/Speaker/Author

John Ruffini is the Vice President of Professional Development for HealthTrust Workforce Solutions, the staffing arm of HCA Healthcare – the largest for-profit healthcare system in the United States.

He and his team focus on training and development for the entire organization in an effort to help employees be the best they can be at whatever role they are playing within the company. John’s passion is recruiting and every recruiter hired at HealthTrust goes through a two-week boot camp training he developed that has improved new hire ramp-up time by 30%.

John started on a perm desk and while he has been in the recruiting and staffing industry for over 25 years, he has spent the last decade in roles that have focused on training, mentoring, and developing individual contributors and managers. He has served as Chair and Co-Chair for the Search and Placement Section Council of the American Staffing Association and has been a featured speaker at ASA’s Staffing World for the past seven years.

John is the author of “Money Makers – Proven Ways to Increase Sales and Productivity in the World of Professional Recruiting” which has been an Amazon Best Seller and is used by staffing firms across the country to train their recruiters and instill recruiting fundamentals that are so critical to long-term success.

John is also the Co-host of the recruiting industry’s only weekly, unscripted LiveStream broadcast, “Recruiters With No Limits.” John lives in South Florida with his wife, Lisa. In addition to recruiting, he is an avid songwriter and author, and is currently working on his first non-fiction book which he hopes to publish later this year.
