“It's been a few months since I've started working Bondi Energy, and I have to thank Adam and the entire HiredHippo team for recommending me for the opportunity. I've had the pleasure of working with Adam and meeting many people in the Toronto business community that have great things to say about him and how he has helped their businesses. I've met a lot of great people over the years in Toronto, but very few have such a solid gold reputation as Adam does. That's a testament to his character and ability to solve hard problems for a variety of people. So thank you Adam for introducing me to my role and the amazing team at Bondi Energy.”
About
On a mission to build the greatest hiring marketplace of exclusive, pre-vetted, diverse, high-potential candidates and companies. Reshaping the job application process with candidate experience and helping companies hire their most passionate teammates from 1-250 employees - Bootstrapped-Series B.
I eat, sleep and breathe recruitment. I can talk for hours about anything to do with the growth of an organization from a people standpoint; attraction, retention, culture fit, alignment and best practices in a modern world.
I’m an entrepreneur at heart, currently on a mission to reshape recruitment and change the candidate experience. Founder and CEO at, HiredHippo, a hiring marketplace connecting pre-vetted, high-potential diverse candidates and companies based on mutual interest, like a dating-app and saying goodbye to resumes.
I noticed the gap in the industry as Founder of Linkus Group, a Recruitment firm supporting startups and SMB's in Canada and US, our typical client starts with us under 1-50 people. I started the company with the intent to disrupt the recruitment industry, and we are doing just that. I’ve got a fantastic team and we work very hard to help build championship teams for our clients that can sustain a winning outlook again and again.
Since 2002, I have been instrumental in building teams both at the corporate and recruitment agency levels. I am known for building strong relationships with my clients as an honest, driven and progressive individual with major organizations across Canada and the United States. With a passion for delivering cost-saving and efficient business results, I took the next step in offering clients an alternative to traditional hiring.
