Bio
Moisés Alejandro Aburto Blandón
The hiring process was concise, always clear and honest on each part of process, now i just get hired! Thanks a lot for great Robert's endeavor and good link network to open new chances to connect LATAM professionals with US position jobs, it's amazing the process that i experienced, Thanks Robert!, it's very cool!

Robert is one of the best talent hunters I’ve interacted with so far. His born nature to quickly engage with developers and understand what they are looking for is very hard to match. That, without taking into consideration the fact that he understands positions from a deeper standpoint than even clients do because of his great sense and knowledge on technical skills overall. All that combined, results in not only a great contact for clients to get even more traction within their technical hiring area but, in a masterpiece for developers looking to level up their career.

Robert is a rare find in the recruiter landscape. He has been a pleasure to work with and here's why. He took the time to understand our ideal candidate profile and subsequently took the time to filter candidates accordingly so that we only met candidates who were a very close match to our ideal. He delivered despite the currently tiny qualified candidate pool. He also applied ongoing feedback quickly. Without Robert we wouldn't have been able to scale our team the way we did. I'm super excited to continue to work with him as our team continues to grow.

My first job as a Customer Service Representative for the campaign "Target". A retail store in the U.S.A. I was helping out customers with Credit Card issues like past due accounts, making payments, unblocking online accounts, declined transactions, etc. It was an amazing experience where I learned alot on how to solve customers problems. * Customer Satisfaction * Tech Support * Customer Service My first job as a Customer Service Representative for the campaign "Target".
