John Vlastelica here, founder of Recruiting Toolbox.  We’re celebrating Ben Gotkin's 10-year anniversary with Recruiting Toolbox this month.  Ben joined RT after working as a corporate Talent Acquisition leader, diving right into projects that ranged from a helping a Danish firm set up its first recruiting function, to training hiring managers at a big silicon valley tech firm, to helping a startup define its hiring bar, to facilitating an org model change with a big, established brand, to training recruiters to engage candidates better, to helping a medium sized company establish its employee value prop. 

 

Since then, he's worked with over 70 clients, training recruiters to be talent advisors, helping companies improve speed, quality, and diversity outcomes through better TA practices, while traveling all over the world to help our clients, learn about different cultures, and explore all kinds of cuisine (he's a foodie).  

 

Happy Anniversary from your RTeam, Ben!  And thanks for everything you do to help companies recruit better and make our team a team.  

Below are highlights from some of the many wonderful comments shared from clients he's helped.
