Bio
Mark Jones
I had the pleasure of working with Russ for over decade. He is a true professional and an expert in all things Talent Acquisition. Russ understands what organizations need in terms of TA, whether short term fixes or long term strategic changes. Russ is also a great people leader with this team always giving him great feedback.

Russ Griffiths is by far, one of the most pleasant colleagues I have ever had the pleasure to work with on a range of difficult tasks. He brings innovation, clear-thinking, experience and hard work to every engagement. It was always a pleasure to include him on board meeting presentations because his knowledge combined with his likability would win the day. I have always trusted Russ to complete the task at hand way beyond the minimum and have worked side by side with him for long hours refining solutions to best meet client requirements while ensuring complete confidence in the delivery. I heard often from his direct reports that he was a fair and warm leader who ensured his team was supported and well-represented. Russ would be a magnificent addition to any talent acquisition organization and I recommend him without hesitation.
