J.S. - Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist
Eric Bartosz is a man in motion. I've known Eric for years and I'm consistently impressed with Eric's unwavering dedication to personal growth. Before kaizen became the word of the day, it could have been named "Bartosz.". Eric is a high performer which results in clients being able to invest deep trust in Eric and his abilities. I have rarely come across others who are so constantly on top of their game. In short, Eric's attitude drives his aptitude and when coupled with his ebullient demeanor this results in a man that you want in your network, and if you're lucky enough, as part of your company.
