About Buddy Johnson

With a passion for both tech and non-tech profiles, I've specialized in sourcing leadership and IC level roles for SWE to Product & UX. I am thankful to have hired talent at large companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft along with medium-sized companies such as Indeed and QuickenLoans. Hard to fill and niche roles are what excite me the most.Striving to be a top performer wherever I am, I also believe individual success can not be achieved unless the wider team and organization also succeeds. I am passionate about mentoring, onboarding new teammates, and helping to further develop the skillsets of those around me through best practice sharing, info sessions, and tools training workshops. Process and efficiency improvements along with stretching my role and domain knowledge are what drive me to be better at my craft every day.From an HR perspective, I have been a member of the PMI Ireland Chapter since 2011 and CIPD accredited since 2014. I pride my work on its quality by creating solutions and producing results.
