Bio
Ty Sharpe
Richard is an incredibly friendly and communicative recruiter. Working with him during my application process for CCP was an absolute pleasure, and was made both easy and expedient thanks to Richard's excellent communication and efficiency.
Gregory Edwards
I work with Richard at CCP. Richard is not just an outstanding recruiter, but he’s also a passionate supporter of the team. Richard’s positive influence and friendly demeanor help create a fun and energized workplace. I don’t think of Richard as our HR or recruitment, but as a core member of the team. It’s been a pleasure to work with Richard and I look forward to a long career of collaboration together.
