RECOMMENDATIONS
Bobby Byrd, Senior Recruiting Leader@Valtech
The consummate professional, Joseph identified and built relationships with candidates on a national basis that met or exceeded client expectations. I observed his performance as a in a less than optimal environment. He was able to navigate through organizational hurdles with a minimum of information and feedback. The time he spent to better understand candidate abilities and motivations translated to fewer competitive losses in the high demand IT segment. Eschewing the current keyword driven processes, Joseph actually applied common sense and empathy to the hiring matrix. He exhibited the innate ability to “translate” client requirements into exciting career enhancing opportunities for candidates. If you are looking to organically grow a placement organization, I would put Joseph Brown on the top of the list.
David Beckham: Director Service Delivery/ Hybrid Cloud Solutions@Fujitsu Americas
I can say unequivocally that I was never better prepared for an interview process by a recruiter before I worked with Joseph.
He spent a significant amount of time preparing me including providing white-papers on the technology the group was responsible for, and valuable insights about the leaders I would be meeting.
Joseph also had a very deep understanding of the role he was working to fill and has a strong balance of technical & business acumen. My experience working with Joseph Brown was beyond impressive.
I look forward to working with him again in the future
Any organization would be lucky to have him on the recruiting team!
John Habenicht: Principal Recruiting Consultant & Manager
My relationship with Joseph Brown goes back over 20-Years.
Joseph is a true Senior IT Recruiter with a very broad range of technical skill sets that he follows.
He has interesting techniques to source and find candidates quickly to meet client’s needs. He is also the type of recruiter who knows how to match skills within the client’s budget across multiple disciplines.
Count on him to bring forth strong, and qualified IT resources
R.W Stoufus: Director@Lockheed Martin
Joseph directly supported my hiring at Lockheed Martin. Recruiting in the .GOV space presents some very unique challenges, to further complicate matters, most of the roles we needed for this initiative were not common skillsets. Many of the vendors were completely unable to deliver on some of the more specialized roles.
It was a no-brainer for me to reach out to Joseph, who rose to the task very quickly became something of an SME and managed to deliver the talent I needed consistently.
I can say without a modicum of doubt that Joseph Brown is certainly at the highest level both in his knowledge, dedication, and ability to deliver candidates that are worth hiring.
Paramjit Singh , Talent Acquisition Specialist @Valtech
Joseph is one of the best recruiters I have worked with. He has a unique personality which sets him apart from other recruiters. Joseph is a hardworking, intelligent, articulate staffing professional who has proven to be excellent at what he does.
Mike Fortin , Technical Recruiter@Allstate
I have had the pleasure of working with Joseph over the last few years on varying assignments. He is a highly reputable recruiter with a deep understanding of today's technologies and the ever changing technical landscapes. He is highly committed and dedicated to both his candidates' needs and his clients' wants. He demonstrates a strong work ethic and passion for recruiting. I would highly recommend him if you are seeking a recruiter driven to succeed.
Dale Parham: Regional Sales Manager@NCR
Joseph Brown has a keen eye for finding great people and a gut feel for knowing this business.
If the staffing market was the 1870's Wild West and I had to walk into the O.K Corral with a lot of guns pointed at me and could take one guy it would be Joseph Brown.
