John Fleischauer–or as he’s better known–bigtalljohn–is a bit of a recruiting enigma. After studying Biomedical Toxicology at the University of Guelph, John started his career in the recruiting industry in 2004. After working in the agency space for eight years, John transitioned to the corporate world, leading Halogen Software’s Global Talent Acquisition function, where he helped the business scale from 170 employees pre-IPO to 530 employees(worldwide) as a publicly traded organization in 3 years. After being acquired by Saba Software, he then transitioned to lead Saba Software’s Global Talent Acquisition function where he was able to stand up a predictable hiring engine that allowed the business to hire for 70 open positions in his final 60 days with the company.
Now as Chief Executive Officer of Pivot + Edge, John is on a mission to help small businesses out-compete big corporate conglomerates in the war for talent. He is an author, a TEDx speaker, and a three-time DisruptHR speaker and you can find him adding to the conversation on LinkedIn @bigtalljohn.
