Who is Patrick Valtin?
Patrick started selling at 15 years old. That instinct — reading people, understanding what really drives them — never left him. After earning his MBA in international business (USC), he spent years as an international management consultant before founding his first training company in Europe in 1988.
Over the next three decades he trained more than 150,000 leaders across 40+ countries for names like Ford, BMW, IBM, Coca-Cola, Toyota and Motorola. But one problem kept coming back in every room, every country: great companies kept hiring the wrong people — not because they weren’t smart, but because they had no reliable way to see who a candidate truly was.
So he built one. HireBox is the answer to that question, distilled into a system any business owner can use — no psychology degree required.
