About Enrique Ruiz

During my tenure in talent acquisition, I\'ve cultivated a broad and dynamic skill set, evident in my significant roles at local PNW companies. At NIKE, a global leader in sportswear, I played a role in enhancing the company\'s diversity, particularly at the director level, helping to shape a more inclusive and varied leadership landscape. My experience at Cascade Energy, a key player in the energy sector, further diversified my expertise, allowing me to excel in a different yet equally challenging industry. This varied background with a foundation in staffing underscores my ability to source and attract exceptional talent across multiple sectors, showcasing my wide-ranging proficiency in recruitment.At the helm of STRM, my own venture, I am excited to leverage this extensive experience in partnerships with other outstanding companies. STRM represents the apex of my professional journey in recruitment, characterized by a commitment to excellence and a bespoke approach to each client\'s needs. I am enthusiastic about collaborating with organizations that seek not just talent but the right strategic fit to propel their success.Thanks for stopping by.ER
