I synced up with Austin, an empathetic and charismatic recruiter from gong. He was friendly, open and answered all of my questions with transparency and vulnerability. Austin made me feel heard and understood and I felt confident he had my best interests in mind. He asked me very relevant questions regarding my aspirations and my personal core values. I felt that Austin wanted to actually get to know me - the real me - rather than checking the boxes off a list of required attributes. Austin connected me with the right folks internally - and advocated on behalf of me securing me a conversation with the interested parties. If you have an opportunity to work or talk to Austin do it. You will not regret the experience.
