Meet Brian Golen
Brian Golen brings Silicon Valley recruiting standards to every placement, from software architects to master electricians. With deep roots in technology recruiting, Brian recognized that the explosive growth of data centers and critical infrastructure demands the same caliber of recruiting for skilled trades as it does for software engineers.
Based in Los Angeles, Brian bridges the gap between tech talent and skilled trades recruiting. He understands the culture of growth-stage tech companies and applies that same rigor, speed, and quality bar to placing HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and facilities managers at data centers and infrastructure projects across the nation. The result: premium placements across the full spectrum, from $80K skilled trades roles to $300K+ engineering positions.
