Erik Örvell

Jag är en affärsdriven och relationsskapande person med stark bakgrund inom både ekonomi, business controlling och rekrytering, vilket ger mig en god förståelse för både kandidaters kompetens och företags behov. Jag har byggt erfarenhet från bolag som Adecco, Meritmind och People of Finance där jag arbetat med försäljning, kundrelationer och hela rekryteringsprocessen. Nu vill jag fortsätta utvecklas inom rekrytering, där jag får kombinera mitt kommersiella driv, mitt människointresse och min förståelse för affärsverksamhet.
