Colleagues describe him as "Working with Nate on building the global esports team was an absolute joy. He started by lead technical recruiting as we built out a digital experiences team aimed at developing a platform to deliver esports content in new and forward-thinking ways. Nate and his team helped us fill key leadership and senior developer roles as we built a team from the ground-up. Nate’s success on the technical front led him to step up into a holistic recruiting leadership role across our entire esports business - business development, events, competitive operations and more. What I found most impressive about Nate, even beyond his knack to find great candidates, was his drive. He has an incredible work ethic that was infectious to the rest of the recruiting team. After he took over, our time-to-hire greatly decreased. Nate drove that result through improving processes, motivating the team and working with hiring managers to tighten up turnaround times. When he set his sights on a goal - whether that was filling a tricky role or overhauling our recruiting processes - Nate was tenacious in getting the job done well and quickly. I was impressed at how quickly he picked up all facets of our esports business, one of the most varied at Riot, and became an expert in different industries in just a short time. Another critical skill I appreciated about Nate was how much he connected with candidates. He did so much work researching and communicating with our candidates that he was able to easily represent their viewpoints and anticipate potential hurdles so we could proactively avoid them. We recruited several Rioters who after the fact lauded Nate for how well he guided them through the process. If you have challenging and critical hires you need made on a short timeline, Nate is your guy.", "Simply put, if you need to make the *right* hire and need to do it quickly, work with Nate. Nate is a true crafts-person in recruiting and executive search. His expert knowledge of the end-to-end process will enable your company to find the talent you need in today's competitive talent market. In addition to his domain skills, Nate's relentless work ethic ensures that while your search is active, you can be rest-assured that progress is being made. If you need to make a hire yesterday, ping Nate.", and "Nathan restored my faith in recruiters. Being a Senior Software Engineer, you get headhunted ALL the time by recruiters, but never have I been tracked so relentlessly before. He's the only recruiter to not only try my products to make sure I can do what I preach but consistently message @support whenever he wanted to pitch working at Riot Games. I finally said yes and then was and then fell in love with the company he showed me. I had to work at Riot because he made it look so amazing and showed me how much impact I could have for players. After joining he continued to go the whole nine yards even after I was recruited, helping my wife land a Job as a Nurse at Cedars in Beverly Hills, using his recruiting tricks in a completely different field to make Cedars feel they absolutely must hire my wife. I would work with Nate again in a heratbeat, and I hope to work with him again. I hope in the future I get a chance to work with Nate to build an amazing team of engineers! Any company would be lucky to have him help mould the best team they can get to solve problems."
