Reviews
Art is an excellent CEO who sets a positive tone for the company, while supporting strategic initiatives that fuel growth, & acting as the well-respected public face of the company in the staffing & technology spaces. Not only that, he helps maintain a fairly “cool” or “startup-y” atmosphere in a fast growing company. Still the only company I’ve heard of where the CEO’s band keeps a soundproofed, instrument-stocked “jam room” accessible to employees.
He gets to know his employees and actually works at a desk instead of hiding in the office. Culture is something that he is always preaching and I truly believe that creating a welcoming and fun culture is something he is really passionate about. Lastly, I think he’s extremely intelligent and knows exactly what he wants to do with the company.
Art has been very personal and approachable since day the day I joined and ran into him in the hallway. Since then the company has more than tripled in size, but Art approaches everyone in the same kind way. From a distance I’ve seen Art work on developing himself and the positive impact of it while the organisation has grown.
