Head of Talent's feedback on LinkedIn:

Jose joined the the Talent Acquisition team here at Houseful on an interim contract covering paternity leave for one of my team. From day one he picked up our ways of working - built great relationships with his stakeholders and colleagues and really embraced the need to deliver quality candidates at pace. 

He is passionate about creating diversity in tech talent pipelines as well as delivering the BEST candidate exprience throughout the recruitment process - which was so aligned with everything we care about at Houseful. He always brought ideas on how to improve the hiring process - was really data driven as well as being tenacious in searches for really hard to fill niche roles. He is such a generous person to work with - always happy to go the extra mile and offer support over and above his own remit as well as having a great sense of humour. I would highly recommend Jose to any team or employer and I genuinely hope we get to work together again in the future.

Co-founder's feedback on LinkedIn:

Jose has been our sole internal recruiter for over three years at Gen H. While he first started out as a technical recruiter, he has gotten up to speed on roles and responsibilities across our organisation.

He has recruited amazing people, and perhaps more importantly, he has overhauled our hiring process to create structured scorecards, identify excellence, and incorporate values. He has worked with the wider People Team and the C-suite to identify who thrives at Gen H and how to design an interview process reflective of this. 

He is constantly looking to up-skill himself, hiring managers, and those new to interviewing. His thoughtful analysis and willingness to adjust and learn have been particularly important in a startup environment. He would be a great asset to any company.

CTO Feedback:

I’ve worked with Jose in hiring most of the engineering team at Gen H. Jose was always great to work with, understood well the needs of the org and was an advocate for good interviewing practices. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.
