Bio
Jordan Handmaker
Zach is a fantastic Talent Acquisition Professional. When he first started at Galls, he was tasked with completely overhauling their entire talent acquisition strategy. Based on the size and volume of recruiting at Galls, this was no easy task. Within 6 months, Zach was able to invest in meaningful relationships and put Galls on the map as a desirable place to work. He did this by using his strong communication skills, creating thoughtful job descriptions, & strategically sourcing top passive talent around the nation. He also partnered with marketing & communications to ensure Galls talent branding & awareness was top notch. I would recommend Zach to any organization looking for someone who can come in & make a significant impact right away.
