Ryan Brogan’s Summary

Basic philosophy:

Some of the worst employees have great titles and perfect resumes from amazing companies. These great companies just start recycling these people, and before you know it all these bad apples spoil the whole bunch--job boards and low level contingency recruiters reap the benefits.

The top 10% of people in any given field won't work with a contingency recruiter or post to a job board. With the way recruiting is going now, it's almost like companies are looking for ways to lose. The solution is thorough research, competitive market penetration, culture and communication factors matching.

Snapshot:

Thanks to a strong background in technology and a passion for research, analytics, and technology, Ryan is one of few individuals in the business capable of ascertaining technical qualifications, when required, and finding the right mix of technical ability and communication/emotional factors. Ryan does not simply fill positions. His placements are long-term strategic fits that add value and enrich the culture of the organizations they support.

Ryan has completed hundreds of successful searches across Technology and New Media for confidential clients as well as organizations including Viacom/MTVNetworks, Time Warner/HBO/AOL/Time Inc, The United Nations, JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Pfizer, Coach.
