His Inside Edition appearances have tackled high-profile workplace issues including office party etiquette, professional conduct in the Me Too era, and coronavirus safety in the workplace. Whether the subject is a national news story or an everyday career challenge, Viscusi brings the perspective of a working recruiter who deals with these issues in real time — not a commentator watching from the sidelines.

His writing has also appeared in CNN Money, Divine Caroline, The Ladders, and MSN.

Industry Publications

Within the interior furnishings industry, Viscusi is best known for his weekly "Stephen Says" column in Business of Furniture (BoF), where he answers real questions from professionals navigating the contract furniture and interiors space. The column covers everything from compensation negotiations and career transitions to company culture, interview strategy, and the unwritten rules of the industry. It has become one of the most-read features in the trade publication, valued for its candor and practical relevance.

Viscusi's commentary and insights also appear regularly in other interiors industry publications, where he offers perspective on hiring trends, talent shortages, the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the workforce, and the evolving expectations of employers and candidates across the furniture, flooring, textiles, lighting, and building products sectors.

Bestselling Books

Viscusi is the New York Times bestselling author of two books on the workplace. His first, On the Job: How to Make It in the Real World of Work, was published by Three Rivers Press (a division of Random House) and became a guide for young professionals navigating the early years of their careers. The book drew from thousands of interviews and his nationally syndicated radio call-in show of the same name, which dealt with workplace issues submitted by listeners across the country.

His second book, Bulletproof Your Job: 4 Simple Strategies to Ride Out the Rough Times and Come Out on Top at Work, was published by HarperCollins and became a bestseller during the economic downturn, offering practical strategies for protecting your career in uncertain times. Keith Ferrazzi, bestselling author of Never Eat Alone, said of the book: "Buy this book before you need it." Bulletproof Your Job has been published in eighteen languages worldwide, including Spanish and Chinese.

Speaking Engagements

Viscusi is a sought-after keynote speaker and has addressed audiences at industry conferences, corporate events, board meetings, and trade shows across the country. His speaking topics include executive hiring strategy, compensation trends in the interiors industry, building and retaining high-performing sales teams, workplace culture, generational dynamics in the workforce, and the future of recruiting. He brings the same direct, no-nonsense energy to the stage that he brings to television — practical, engaging, and rooted in real experience.

The Viscusi Group was ranked as the 10th largest executive search practice in New York City by Crain's New York Business, and Viscusi has served as an adviser to boards on workplace and talent acquisition issues. His unique combination of recruiting expertise, media visibility, and industry authority makes him a compelling speaker for any audience interested in the intersection of talent, business, and the modern workplace.
