“Joe Pelayo is an American original — a new century Horatio Alger. His inspirational story is punctuated by wit, wisdom and an unwavering respect for truth; yet his most appealing quality is a deep and non-judgmental sense of humanity. Joe’s pursuit speaks the perfect poetry of everything that’s possible in life.”
~ Bill Radin – Author of The Recruiter’s Almanac

“Joe Pelayo has risen from his amusing, but troubled youth to become one of the country’s premier recruiting professionals. His secret – networking. He proves it’s not what you know, but who you know – and his secret is the ability to leverage those relationships into situations where it is more valuable to know Joe than to not know him. You get what you give – and Joe gives a lot. He turns the art of networking into a science and his book shares those techniques which have made him a winner – in our profession and in life itself.”
~ Paul Hawkinson – Publisher, The Fordyce Letter

“This book is a great read for anyone who roots for or identifies with the prodigal son and believes virtue can rise from the ashes to form a platform of dignified success. The journey, in and of itself, is fascinating. The bridge to accomplishment is instructional. The lessons it espouses is simple yet profound and well worth the read.”
~ Doug Hawkins – Chairman, The CFO Network

“I just finished Work Your Network! Once I started reading I didn’t want to put it down. In fact, yesterday I opted to take BART instead of driving so I could continue reading. Your book is full of great lessons and tips, and I know that I’ll be a better networker for having read it and look forward to putting your ideas into action.”
~ Patrick “Public Relations” Galvin – Galvin Communications

“I finished Work Your Network! basically in one sitting. I’ll probably have to get a new one each year because we’ll wear it out here at SearchPartner. My concern is that this book will take a long time in the publishing cycle because none of the editorial staff will ever finish working on it before they either get a new job or a promotion.”

This is his personal story — informative and, above all, inspirational — about his life, his family and his team. His stories about his father and him are especially moving. Read it. Learn it. Do it.”
~ Andy Schneit – Past President, Institute of Management Accountants, San Francisco Chapter

“I first met Joe Pelayo at a networking event, where else!? I was completely disarmed by his kindness and willingness to get to know me.
