I work for a fast scaling Renewable energy business! I lead a small team of 4 TAs as well as Chairing the ED&I committee as Talent & Inclusion Lead.

Hey @Jason Tunney - welcome to a fellow renewables superfan! (Solar house and ½ fleet of EVs. My wife is warming up to a trade-in 😀)  If we get a surge of HR heroes in green business, I’m happy to create an industry group for y’all. 

@GlobalRecruiter - you are on fire! Love the questions and suggestions you’re offering the community on day one. Video gaming market set to hit a quarter of trillion USD this year? Insane.

Yeah, the industry is on fire, similar to others but we're certainly only hitting the tip of the iceberg with other industries entering the video game/VR technology scene such as healthcare etc.  Recruitment itself is at an all time high, especially for us hero's - I have never seen so many global roles on offer trying to entice me away from my job.  It’s very satisfying to see the whole HR/talent industry booming!

Keith here. I’m content strategy manager at Workable and am loving this community.

I’m a father of two – one 10, one 5, both rambunctious, high-energy boys – and I’m also just outside of Boston.

Snack: can be an Indian snack delicacy I’ll find at a local Indian supermarket, or a slice (or three) of my wife’s amazing chocolate cake. 

Article of clothing: Now that the weather is cooling down, I’m wearing my super-awesome warm wooly socks that I’ve been waiting all summer to put on. They are, however, magnets for the dog hair that’s all over the carpet.

TV show: The Wire. End of discussion.

And I’ll add a fun fact: I’ve been to Chernobyl twice. Yes, really. It was back during peaceful times, in 2001-2002, when I was working in Kyiv. 

Edit: I forgot books – anything by Dostoyevsky. Time’s Arrow by Martin Amis absolutely broke my head. Victor LaValle – especially Big Machine. Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris – an amazing satire of working life in a corporate agency. And I’ll gladly lap up some early Stephen King.
