At TECHEAD we have built our organization on recruiting the right people for our clients and cultivating strong relationships. We bring that same conviction when hiring our own employees and preserving those connections. To showcase the incredible talent of our team, we want to shine a spotlight on individual employees each month. This month, our Employee Spotlight is on TECHEAD Federal Recruiter, Victor DeJesus.
Victor is currently studying Industrial and Organizational Psychology at the University of Phoenix. In October of 2022, Victor joined the team at TECHEAD as a federal recruiter. As a dedicated member of the TECHEAD team, Victor brings a unique blue-collar background that has given him a great foundation for success in recruiting.
