Douglas Burns possesses expertise in talent acquisition, recruiting, human resources, applicant tracking systems, management and 40 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Doug came to the Figure Family at a time of tremendous growth and transition at Figure. While most leaders acclimate cautiously to taking the reins in an organization, Doug pulled up his sleeves and jumped right in. His experience and wisdom have helped kick off the grassroots for many initiatives for People Operations, and the culture at Figure has been better for it. In addition, Doug invests heavily into his team and knows that the secret to an engaged workforce lies within an empowered team. It has been amazing to work under his leadership, and the trust that he imparts to his team has allowed us to flourish and become champions of our assigned business units. Doug's cornerstone trait is that there are no barriers between him and his subordinates. As a result, team members can escalate concerns and genuinely feel heard in every conversation. I am grateful for Doug's calm composure, transformative business acumen, and leadership. He truly embodies what should be at the heart of an organization in his servant leadership." and "Doug knows global recruiting and I've watched him capably manage and grow a recruiting function tasked with making a deep impact amid the sometimes-insanity that is high-tech, cutting edge recruiting. He gets it. He knows the function, his business acumen is top-shelf, and his capability to grow and mentor people with all kinds of skill level is appreciated and generates high-production as well as high personal growth from his team. I'd welcome the chance to work with Doug again anytime, anywhere."
