I'm passionate about finding & hiring great people that solve business problems and have a measurable impact on increasing revenue. My background is in executive search, (retained & contingency) and working with cool start-up's that wanted to establish a presence in EMEA. I set up my own company when I was 24 and learnt so much about myself during the following 8.5 years. I was craving another challenge and to learn a different angle on recruitment so I joined a fast-growing pre-ipo software company to experience the IPO and the world of corporate recruiting. I'm now at FireEye heading up the EMEA recruitment team in a hands on role filling reqs & planning how to fight and win the war on hiring the best talent. We are a hyper growth cyber security software company and the volume of hiring is eye watering, from hiring VP's, Directors, Managers, Incident Response & Forensic consultants, Sales, SE's to standing up SOC's, building engineering teams from the ground up, finance teams, support organisations, operations & legal teams through to hiring Personal Assistants and Secretaries. I love my job. I love technology and I love learning and exposing myself to new challenges outside of my comfort zone. If you want to reach me, roland.carter @ fireeye.com or +44 7775 772 619 will lead you to me. ***We are not looking for new recruitment suppliers but if recruiters are going to insist on calling me, please make sure it's an awesome pitch and not sloppy or it will be a short call***
