Christopher G. is a Global Talent Acquisition & Recruitment | Team Leadership | Strategic Staffing Consultant | DEIB Advocate | GenAi | Open to FT or Consulting at Career Break. Colleagues describe them as "Chris supported recruiting engineering talent for my teams for two years. He knows the technology landscape very well to understand the implied requirements of a job. He is very positive, confident, full of energy and always willing to listen for any ideas that will garner more traction from prospective candidates. He explores all channels, works all angles and avenues to discover needed talent from junior to the executive levels. One of the examples of his creativity and resourcefulness is his collaboration with external technology user groups and leaders to bring technology events to AOL including HTML5 meet-up and mobile hackathon. The mobile hackathon that Chris helped organize, was one of the best such events that I have attended in this area. Thanks to Chris, I felt proud to be one of the AOLer hosts. In addition Chris is very meticulous and hard working. I have seen him working late in the evenings with resumes organized around him, marked in different colors and categories, as he deeply engaged in phone conversations with prospective candidates. He is good as gold and I recommend him very strongly.", "Chris does not support my teams directly, but he and I have developed a relationship over the past couple of years through one-on-one sessions. Chris is very much a forward-looking, out-of-the-box thinker when it comes to technical recruiting. He is a self-starter who consistently keeps on top of the latest techniques and mechanisms for attracting top talent. And Chris demonstrates big picture thinking that enables him to more effectively anticipate the needs of his clients and develop processes that exceed their expectations. I believe he has the ability to positively impact any organization, large or small, due to his ability to adapt to a variety of environments. He is truly one of the best at his craft that I have ever seen or worked with.", and "Chris is everything a recruiter should be, patient, responsive and networked. He knows that even though the candidate may be a great find for a position, "fit" also factors in more than compensation, personality and work ethic. It includes that unquantifiable "something." This goes for both the employer and the prospective employee. He's not only happy to send you to meet prospective employers, he makes sure he's got a back-up plan AND he picks up the phone -- in case you call back and say, "It is not going to work out. What else do you have for me?" He's one of the primary reasons I'm in my current position, competitively compensated, happy, challenged and enjoying my next go 'round in the tech industry."
