ABOUT CHRIS KENT

I recruit for Salesforce people - it\'s as simple as that! After nearly 4 years recruiting internally for a Salesforce Platinum Partner I built a depth of knowledge and importantly strong NZ wide networks within the Salesforce ecosystem. A very valuable resource if you\'re seeking a new role or looking to hire high quality Salesforce people into your team. With Upper Echelon we offer an unparalleled and dedicated capability and support the wider NZ Salesforce community as much as possible. Based in Wellington, we recruit across NZ.Recruiting in the NZ technology area since 2008, I have vast experience covering both internal and agency-side recruitment, I understand how to assist both internal recruitment teams and hiring managers directly, providing specialist Salesforce insights and recruitment support.I partner closely with internal senior level stakeholders, hiring managers, organisations and candidates, consulting on best practice resourcing solutions and advice. A key driver for me is the end to end candidate experience and always looking to improve every process I encounter. The candidates that you are unable to hire today, will probably be the ones you\'ll be chasing tomorrow! I\'m a strong believer in communication and relationship building.I make no apologies for an extremely poor sense of humour and a boundless repertoire of dad jokes that knows no end. When does a dad joke become a dad joke? When the punchline becomes apparent.
