Gavin Chase’s Summary

The war for talent will get more intense as available human capital reduces over the next decade. The demand for consultancy orientated talent acquisition services from experienced, proactive and knowlegeable recruitment search professionals will intensify, specifically from those who offer niche offerings around specific markets.

If you are seeking top performers in the gaming, betting and casino industry who specialise in payments, fraud, security, digital finger printing, analytics, forecasting, predictions, risk around:

• Bingo
• Online
• Casino
• Spreadbetting
• Mobile applications
• Operations
• Poker Sites
• P2P
• Premium rate services
• Asian market
• Retail gambling
• Affiliate marketing
etc etc

perhaps we should be speaking in order to ensure that your business has access to them. I do not work with job boards but am a proactive head hunter with 20+ years experience in your market!

Gavin Chase’s Experience

Talent Acquisition & Client Director

CNA Executive Search

(Privately Held; Staffing and Recruiting industry)

December 2008 — Present (1 year 2 months)

My success in the Recruitment Industry has led to over a thousand placements at Senior Levels (Salary packages from GBP50,000 to GBP750,000) in the top 500 FTSE/Nasdaq Blue Chip Corporations, across the globe. As a ‘top flight’ head-hunter for over 20 years I believe that the value I have brought to clients by introducing them to ‘superstar’ candidates is remarkable when measured against the broader recruitment industry.

Are you familiar with Topgrading? How leading companies win by hiring, coaching and keeping the best people? Great companies are made by A players. Research shows that typically only one-fouth of those hired or promoted turn out to be A players! Compare that with 90% enjoyed by companies that embrace Brad Smart's top-grading practices. Want to know more?

My niche over the past 12 months has been the gambling sector both online and offline where I have been able to bring proactive headhunting to an industry more used to the agency and job board sales pitch! In fact I have launched a blog to show my commitment to the sector.

Head of Strategy & Content

"Want to be a Big Biller?"

(Staffing and Recruiting industry)

April 2008 — Present (1 year 10 months)

We have developed a social network to improve your performance as a recruitment consultant, manager or director.

Recruitment big billers are perceived by the humble recruiter to be something that they could never be! The fact of the matter is that they just have a different mind set. There are no obstacles to success in their minds, they are also willing to ask for the business rather than be cap in hand and are able (and willing) to follow, repeatedly, the same process time and time again without question - because it works....

If you are a newbie or average recruiter in terms of billings, accept that being a recruiter is a process driven business which requires discipline and focus, not cutting corners of a proven system or non productive distractions.

If you can achieve this you will be on the road to becoming one of the recruitment industry's Big or even Super Billers!

Franchise World Network

(Non-Profit Organization Management industry)

March 2008 — Present (1 year 11 months)

If you are a franchisee, considering taking on a franchise, or you are a franchisor this is where we are building a community to express your views, experiences and general observations or subjects of interest. http://franchiseworld.ning.com

Many people dream of owning their own business. A popular method of achieving this goal has been to purchase a franchise. What is a franchise? What is franchising? You have all heard of it, but what is it, really?

Franchising is the business response to the massive amounts of capital required to establish and operate a company-owned network of product or service vendors.

Simply defined, franchising is a system of marketing and distribution in which an independent businessperson, for a fee, is granted the right to market the goods or services of the franchisor according to the established standards and practices of the franchisor.
General Manager

CNA Interim Management

(Staffing and Recruiting industry)

February 2008 — December 2008 (11 months)

Interim management has become an important tool for many companies when they face challenging projects. As organisations become more streamlined they no longer have the management resources, or the expertise available to deal with exceptional and unexpected circumstances. Quite often CNA is called upon to provide managers at very short notice when:

A major restructuring is being introduced
A senior position need filling on a temporary basis
Strategic change is about to take place.

The interim manager solution is especially effective when you need a speedy and flexible response to a whole range of management problems that require a safe pair of hands.
