I am a Recruiting Systems/Process Analyst. I work on the CRH Americas Talent Management Team and support our Recruiting Center. Some of my responsibilities involve reporting, training, systems support and process improvement initiatives to support our recruiters.
When did you join CRH? I joined CRH in February 2015.
Where is your position located?
My position is in Rochester, New York.
What do you like about working at CRH?
My co-workers in the Recruiting Center, and in the field, make it a great place to work! I have been here for four years, and we continue to grow. I enjoy the culture and like working for an organization that promotes getting the job done as well as provides career development opportunities for its employees.
What are the best parts of your job?
My co-workers. They are always quick to help or give guidance when needed. I enjoy coming in and working with them every day. I had the opportunity last year to move from a recruiter position to a role in HRIS. I really have enjoyed being able to contribute what I learned/experienced as a recruiter and apply those experiences into my new role to help support our Recruiting Center.
What would your co-workers say about you?
I think they view me as a very big family guy. If I am not going to a baseball game, I am usually at a family dinner, birthday party or just getting together for a visit. There are not many nights that I go straight home.
Do you have any funny or interesting work stories to share?
I have too many to share, but here’s one: I worked at Buckman’s Car Wash in high school. One day, I was asked to play the role of a dentist and was given a hammer and pencil. The thought was that, since I played baseball, I would be the most qualified to hit the eraser on the pencil with the hammer and extract a loose tooth. I accepted the challenge and the tooth was removed. What I failed to mention prior, was that I was a pitcher.
What was your first job?
My first job was as a dishwasher at a Greek restaurant called Emerald’s. My friend Traffy got me and all our buddies a job there for the summer.
Do you have any hobbies?
I love anything baseball (NY Mets), football (Buffalo Bills), working in the yard, and spending time with the family. When I’m not at the office, I own and operate the Upstate Baseball League. The “UBL” is a local (Rochester, New York) league built for high school players to develop and play competitive baseball during August.
Tell us about your family.
My wife Jenn and I have a daughter, Faith, son Augie and a black lab named Smuckers. Jenn and I both come from large and very close families. With 10 nieces and nephews, our nights and weekends are typically filled with some type of family event.
