Bio
Jessica Castellanos
Gabriel is a rare gem, and I am so grateful we worked alongside at LinkedIn. In the time we worked together, he built and lead a number of Diversity recruiting projects/programs from the ground up. This included very tactile work such as: Diversity data standardization, reporting process improvement, building scalable playbooks to support the larger recruiting team, and hosted Engineering guest speaker events. On the more personal front: Gabriel is a phenomenal mentor in the Diversity space. He consistently goes above and beyond 'job titles' to connect dots, answer questions, and bridge gaps amongst the Diversity teams. He is committed to his own development and growth as an individual and an employee. Gabriel is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to sourcing diverse talent, and even better, he actively shares that knowledge with the team, thereby positively amplifying these skills amongst dozens of other recruiters on the team. Truly, Gabriel provides one of the BEST candidate experiences of any recruiter I have worked with in my career. He brings passion and a fresh point of view to Diversity and Inclusion programs. He is receptive and quick implements feedback. He consistently brings a positive attitude to his work. I will greatly miss his friendship and mentorship Monday thru Friday, but I know we will continue beyond the workplace.

Gabriel made great contributions to the Hispanics of Linkedin Alliance Employee Resource Group at LinkedIn during my Global Co-Chair tenure. He was recently introduced as our ERG’s Communications Lead for NAMER because of his creativity and commitment in bringing awareness to our events across various areas of business. Gabriel’s unwavering dedication as an HOLA Community Member played a significant role in driving our recent success. The passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion was evident through his actions in planning, hosting, and participating in various events during Hispanic-Latinx Heritage Month 2022. Gabriel volunteered for the committee that introduced LinkedIn’s inaugural Latina Equal Pay Day event, which streamed live on the LinkedIn Life Page. These are just a few examples of Gabriel consistently going above and beyond to ensure voices of underrepresented groups are heard and respected. Thank you, Gabriel. Your outstanding leadership and unwavering dedication to advancing diversity and inclusion at LinkedIn serve as true examples of what it means to be an ally and advocate for the culture.
