It was a pleasure to interview my friend Corey Jackson of Qwerkz. Corey and I both played football at The University of Nevada, He was a few years older than I and was on his way out when I was on my way in. After finishing up at Nevada, Corey ended up playing in the NFL before he founded his company Qwerkz.

Qwerkz is a Talent Acquisition firm that helps companies choose from a pool of former pro athletes to hire for specific roles. What's unique about Qwerkz is that they conduct deep-dive assessments for their athletes to determine their best and strongest attributes as well as their skill sets and personality.
