Raymond has been recruiting and offering HR consulting to technology companies here in British Columbia since 1992. Applying the training received from his CMA and MBA, he founded GO Recruitment in 2002 and immediately set out to change the way companies could benefit from a different kind of service. He was recognized in 2006 as one of Business in Vancouver's "40 under 40" winner.
He is also heavily involved right now with a wireless company called Mobidia as their HR Managing Consultant. His community work has him involved as a Partner of BC Social Venture Partners where it recently granted funding to an international non-profit organization called Dress for Success and local social enterprise called Just Beginnings Flowers.
When there is spare time left over, he writes a monthly column for The Employment Paper offering insights for companies and individuals looking for an edge in the employment market.
To start things off we asked Raymond the following question:
How do you think your CMA Designation helps you in your role as a recruiter?
Raymond replied:
The CMA has opened more doors and made my work more intellectually stimulating. I am no longer just like other recruiters. I am now often hired as an interim HR Executive and also added more credibility to my portfolio of services to now include board advisory work with two emerging technology companies like PeerFX and QuickMobile.
Tomorrow we will continue Raymond's story and find out which business leaders have inspired him in his career.
