Gavin Badcock
Web Development Recruiter And Director
Tech recruiter for Stratospherec and organiser of the monthly Brighton Web Development Meetup. I love the satisfaction of finding a candidate their perfect job and a company their ideal employee. I take pride in knowing about the Web Technologies I recruit for, and secretly wish I had been a coder.
Like a lot of long term recruiters, I have placed candidates from virtually all areas of the IT market, but I mainly work with clients hiring developers with skills in .Net and JavaScript these days. Although as I also run the Brighton Web Development Meetup I am interested and recruit is lots of other web technologies like PHP, Node, Python and old stuff like Perl.
Outside of work, I devote my time to my family and mini zoo of dog Barnaby, several rabbits and salt water fish tanks. If the kids allow it, I will occasionally rock out and annoy my neighbours with my electric guitar. A self-confessed geek, I am also a coffee snob, vintage watch collector and part time Scuba diver. Getting older but loving it!
Always happy to chat about technology, pass on advice on how to find a new job, or help companies plan their strategies on how to attract good IT staff. Drop me a line, always happy to help if I can.
