Scott Gordon: Digital Anthropologist, Renegade of Funk, and Insanely Persistent
I’ve got a little over 10 +years of recruitment experience specifically with senior level software developers, CIO’s, CTO’s architects and DBA’s. I’ve managed and produced in a Top 5 office of an IT staffing and Consulting division of a global Fortune 500 strategic staffing company (100+ offices). While assisting and training recruiters around the United States, I was chosen as one of twelve recruiters nationwide to develop policies and procedures for recruitment and retention in an information technology market. I was also recognized as one of the Top Fifteen individual producers worldwide for the same global Fortune 500 staffing firm
I literally escaped the Fortune 500 company in 2004 to assist in opening an office for a now national consulting firm. That firm has grown over 2000% in just 6 years and recently named as one of the fastest growing companies in the United States by Inc. magazine. I’ve been a Partner with that firm since joining in 2004.
Been there, done that, figured out a better way to do it. I’ve heard a thousand horror stories of dealing with recruiters, pimps, handlers, brokers and body shops and decided to do something about it.
