"I’ve known Peter Cotton for the past 25 years and have had the pleasure of working closely with him for the past ten years. He joined the Rhode Island Staffing Association (RISA) when a critical issue surfaced at the state government level that posed a serious threat to our businesses and the recruiting industry in general. Peter joined to help us fight adverse legislation that would have put many people in the Rhode Island recruiting profession out of business. He mounted a strong social media campaign to inform, educate, and rally independent and franchised recruiting businesses alike into action. Peter also spoke on behalf of our industry at the Rhode Island State House during financial committee hearings. He was masterful at putting the campaign together which ultimately led to our success in defeating the issue. I was very grateful when Peter decided to join the board and take an active role in the association as our Vice President of Membership. He is a gifted speaker, a talented writer, and he puts together marketing campaigns that are persuasive. Peter increased the RISA membership by 25% in his first year. He’s a rare talent and the type of person who gets things done. If you want a successful outcome to your recruiting efforts, then Peter is the person you would want working for you."
