Throughout my 30-year career, I have become an expert in recruitment, retention, and leadership development. I have helped companies of all sizes revolutionize and improve their talent acquisition and staff retention processes, making them more transparent and participant-friendly.
I have worked for organizations ranging from small startups to tech giant Google, where I played a pivotal role on the early talent team as the company scaled from 1,100 to over 60,000 employees.
I founded Redlich Talent Advisors to enable HR leaders and CEOs to gain access to a wealth of knowledge and experience that will revolutionize their organizations' talent acquisition and people strategies. Driven by the values of Trust, Transparency, and Partnership, Redlich Talent Advisors provides streamlined, efficient, and transparent services that maximize results while remaining participant friendly and engaging.
Redlich Talent Advisors is a People Consultancy committed to streamlining services that enable our clients to attract, hire, and retain the best talent available.
