I'd welcome any opportunity to work with him again in the future.", "Jordan and I worked together at Indeed where he was a Senior Engineering Manager and I was his partner as the Director of Product Management. Together, we led the Enterprise Candidate Management organization, where we successfully delivered capabilities that helped enterprise employers to engage with candidates at scale. Together we supported tens of thousands of companies - many with dozens of recruiters, thousands of jobs, and tens of thousands of candidates.
Jordan's contributions and dedication were instrumental in the growth and success of our organization. As we navigated complex challenges and ambitious goals, Jordan's expertise and leadership played a pivotal role in achieving exceptional results. We worked together on every aspect of our endeavor, from conceptualizing and putting together the business case to devising a comprehensive strategy to fulfill the needs of our Enterprise segment.
Under Jordan's guidance, our engineering teams flourished, and our cross-organizational programs thrived. His ability to understand the nuances of our business strategy and translate it into actionable engineering initiatives is unparalleled. Jordan demonstrated an innate talent for fostering cohesion between departments, ensuring that our engineering efforts were always aligned with the broader organizational objectives.
One of Jordan's remarkable achievements was spearheading the expansion of our organization from 20 to over 50 talented individuals, outperforming many of his Director level peers. He approached this growth with a thoughtful and measured approach, carefully selecting top-notch talent and empowering them to excel. Jordan's leadership style engendered a sense of purpose and motivation among the team, resulting in a culture of innovation and collaboration.
If you're looking for a talented engineering leader that can build and lead a significant engineering organization to deliver real business results that scale to tens of thousands of customers, I highly recommend you consider Jordan.", and "I reported directly to Jordan for my first year at Indeed while I was a manager for two teams. I quickly found him to be a strong and empowering leader. Jordan is an excellent listener and is able to provide direct and concise guidance on a wide range of topics that include goal setting, architecture, risk mitigation and employee performance. In any discussion or meeting, I was able to leave with actionable next steps that ensured forward progress on any project or issue I was working.
Jordan has an excellent ability to identify talent and build strong and balanced teams. He understands how to influence decisions while providing autonomy to me and my teams. Across multiple projects, Jordan helped bridge the gap between leadership and the contributing teams that enabled everyone to be in a position for success. He was never concerned with claiming the credit and fostered a strong culture amongst his teams.
I strongly recommend Jordan for any leadership position."
