Nicholas Brock Email & Phone Number

Passionate and tireless recruiter. I approach talent acquisition with an open mind, valuing both candidates and clients through a wide lens perspective. My commitment lies in not just filling positions but in strategically aligning business needs with individuals who seamlessly integrate into the company's culture.On the recruiting side, I pride myself on establishing genuine connections with candidates, delving beyond resumes to understand their aspirations and motivations. This depth allows me to not only position them optimally for their next opportunity but also allows me to act as a trusted career counselor, guiding them towards long-term success whether it be through me, or another opportunity.On the client side, I leverage my training and business instincts to uncover the root of their challenges. Instead of a quick-fix approach, I focus on addressing the true business needs before presenting suitable candidates. It's a strategic mindset that goes beyond merely "chucking candidates" and ensures a thoughtful and effective solution to their staffing needs.On a more personal business note, my work ethic is the cornerstone of my identity. This is something that was instilled in me from a young age. A decorated all-state athlete in high school, I overcame a severe shoulder injury to walk on to the University at Buffalo Division 1 FBS Football Team. I quickly worked my way into a starting spot at Fullback, and earned a full athletic scholarship. I now carry that same approach into my professional life. This lunch pail, hard hat mentality of consistently doing the right things every day has shaped the man I have become.In my personal life, I am an avid weightlifter and a well-accomplished powerlifter. I set national records in the 275-pound weight class. My best lifts include a roughly 600 lb bench press, 800 lb deadlift, and 800+ lb squat, all without any equipment. I also run and play in a men's league ice hockey team, the "Lindy Buffs," paying homage to Sabres Coach Lindy Ruff. Off the ice, I am a sauna enthusiast and I've built my own and love talking about anything and everything sauna/cold tub treatment and investments of all kinds and of course UB FOOTBALL! Lover of XL dogs, including my Cane Corso, Roman. For those who wonder about the nickname, "Boomer," it's been with me since birth, a testament to my size and presence.Happy to connect with people from all walks of life!
