Rich is an EMEA Recruitment Specialist for Google Cloud.

Starting his career recruiting for marketing roles in an agency, Rich, quickly learned the benefits developing long term relationships can have on one's career. Building true and meaningful client and candidate relationships has always been at the core of Rich’s recruitment strategy.

In 2012 he started working for a recruitment company who then looked to expand their digital recruitment arm. Rich started recruiting digital marketing professionals for a variety of other businesses.

Over the next 6 years, his division grew across the UK. Rich started to manage several different teams and advise teams in other areas of the world on how to found their own digital business units. He was also added to the board of directors.

After a seven-year stint working agency side, Rich moved to an in-house role working for Google Cloud. This move was spurred by his desire to work in long term partnerships with clients.
