Bio
Stephen Horning
Few people get the opportunity to work with a recruiting leader as talented as Ben. In a field like DevOps where top talent is hard to attract his team always brought in great hires quickly. He has the ability to listen to ideas and pivot focus, getting us to the right candidates before we even knew what they looked like. He was great strategizing on overall recruitment planning and handling sensitive conversations with candidates and leadership. He does all of this while also being one of the friendliest and nicest guys I have ever meet. If I started a company one of my first hires would be Ben. He's a star.

‘Exceptional talent’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Ben. I had the opportunity to work with Ben recruiting product managers for Chef. Ben had the curiosity and aptitude to learn what I was looking for and provide exceptional candidates quickly. I hope to work with him again one day and any company would be lucky to have Ben on their team.
