What can I say about this Amazing Recruiting executive. Erik and I have worked together on the same HR team for about 2 years and he was an amazing professional. His support as a Recruiting professional was second to none and helped us break record numbers on various initiatives in our business. He has a very innovative approach to recruiting but most of all knows the business , which better assists the search in finding stellar talent. I would recommend Erik to any business as he would be an asset to your company !
