Derek Roberts
Hands down the best recruiter I have worked with over 20 years of hiring! Elton partnered with me to build my CS Organization at Workato across Enterprise, Embed, Commercial and Customer Operations. While doing this Elton worked with a few other teams at Workato, but managed to always be on top of my priorities. His ability to do quality work and high volume was outstanding. We were searching for candidates with a specific and complex set of traits for these positions. The search covered positions in the US, Canada, multiple EMEA GEO's, India, Singapore and others. Elton is organized and methodical in his approach to recruitment. We were successful in filling many positions (~40 over 2.5 years) and the resulting employees had a very high rate of success. Elton also brought value to me as an organization leader and to our candidates. His exceptional communication allowed us to be on the same page on candidate qualities and this resulted in a high percentage of worthy candidates. He did not just bring candidates to check the box. Elton found good fits. The candidates enjoyed working with Elton and he was on top of communication to drive a good experience. He set a cultural tone that resonated throughout the recurring process. I am grateful to have had Elton as part of my team.
