#WeAreGreenKey: Spotlight on Jordan Boyd

06Jun
Green KeyGeneral Interest, Green Key News, Information Technology

Welcome to #WeAreGreenKey, where we shine a spotlight on the incredible people behind our powerhouse recruiting team.

This week, we are passing the mic to Jordan Boyd, Senior Recruiter at Green Key Information Technology (IT). After nearly half a decade of working in the industry, Boyd joined Green Key in late 2020. 

Boyd focuses primarily on niche skillsets, including AWS and Azure cloud engineers, database administrators and developers, .NET and Java developers, iOS and Android developers, UI/UX designers, and project management professionals. He has placed candidates in a range of industries, including biotechnology, aerospace, defense, financial services, and government services.

What inspired you to pursue a career in recruitment?

I applied for a sales job with a staffing agency several years ago. During the interview, the hiring manager believed I had the empathy and technical knowledge to work with clients and candidates. After trying my hand at full desk recruiting, I realized I enjoyed matching people with the right job a lot more.

What sets Green Key apart from other recruiting firms?

Green Key is process-driven. We work hard to ensure our candidates are the best fit for the job, providing full transparency about the hiring process and client expectations. We are about finding the right fit for the job—not throwing any and all resumes at a job to see what sticks.

Where has Green Key provided service that is hard to match in an internal hiring team?

Green Key works with a diverse range of clients, which means our candidates have several options when it comes to entering new industries. For example, Green Key IT has previously placed candidates in roles for the U.S. government.

The Message of #GivingTuesday Is to Do Good

Today is #GivingTuesday.

Created in 2012 to encourage people to “do good,” the day has spread worldwide, promoted by the Giving Tuesday organization. Its mission is to promote generosity and volunteerism. It encourages individuals to contribute to organizations of their choosing.

“GivingTuesday is about giving of all types,” explains the international organization. “Some may choose to give a financial contribution to their favorite cause or a fundraising drive, others will opt to reach out to neighbors, start an advocacy campaign, donate goods or extra supplies, share gratitude to frontline workers and those keeping us safe. If you can show generosity and share kindness, you have something to give!”

If you decide to contribute financially, check your organization or its Facebook page to see if it is participating in Facebook’s matching donations program on GivingTuesday. Contributions made to all participating organizations through Facebook will be matched 100% up to a total of $2 million; then Facebook will match 10% of the next $5 million in contributions.

Since the first GivingTuesday almost $2 billion has been contributed in the US alone. Beyond making a financial contribution, millions of people worldwide step forward every year on Giving Tuesday to volunteer their time to community organizations and nonprofits. Businesses, too, participate by organizing volunteer programs throughout the year.

“GivingTuesday’s global network collaborates year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to build a world where generosity is part of everyday life,” says GivingTuesday.

“If you can show generosity and share kindness, you have something to give!”

The Pandemic Is Altering Data Privacy Expectations

The Pandemic Is Altering Data Privacy Expectations

A recent EY Global Consumer Privacy Survey found that the data privacy expectations of consumers are shifting due to the pandemic and the correlating increased reliance on technology in the last year.

The survey was created to help organizations better understand how consumers’ data privacy needs are evolving by examining their attitudes towards sharing personal data and by analyzing the way their behavior is changing.

The survey and the results report addressed three critical questions and guidance for how businesses can navigate these changes:

Question 1: How do consumers expect organizations to handle their data?

The findings – deliver certainty the consumers crave. The survey found that more consumers are concerned about the security of the data they share with a company more than the actual data that is shared.

Yogen Appalraju, EY Canada Cybersecurity Leader summed the finding up saying, “Organizations that want to maximize the collection of personal data need to focus on establishing their data protection and privacy capabilities. Those that cannot provide assurance that data is collected and stored safely may start to see customers go elsewhere.”

Question 2: What do consumers want in exchange for their data?

The findings – tailor offerings to build trust. Consumers want to see a fair exchange of the value your product provides with the data they’ve shared. For example, the survey found that half of millennial consumers say they’re willing to share their browser search history with a large tech company in exchange for a more tailored and personalized online experience. However, older generations like baby boomers believe the lack of control over third-party access to data decreases the amount of trust they place in an organization.

Question 3: How is data privacy shifting for a post-pandemic world?

A unique shift in attitude towards data sharing comes as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As economies start to reopen, many businesses, schools, and organizations may require the collection of personal information to ensure health and safety. Half of the consumers polled in the survey believe the pandemic has made them more willing to give up personal data if they know it is contributing to research and/or overall community wellness.
