Alec McKinley

“I’ve worked with Alec for a few years now, and he’s simply a blessing. Alec is a true recruitment leader; he understands not just the necessary rudiments of leading sourcing and recruiting teams to produce viable candidates, but also the ways to adapt processes and methods to the particular company, team, and policies you may be saddled with. Alec understands the strategies to get you the candidates you need in a timely fashion, and he helped us through massive hirings, challenging position descriptions, and yes, even almost impossible technical engineering finds. I watched him innovate with internal and external sourcing, apply active and passive hunting techniques, and create reporting mechanisms to keep both his recruiters and sourcers and my managers and engineers on track. With Alec, I very quickly recognized the comfort of knowing I simply didn’t have to worry about our pipeline or hiring processes. He enhanced our existing strategies and processes, and the numbers and candidate satisfaction surveys demonstrated the results. He’s the exact kind of recruitment leader I’d want as my right arm as I go into any growth portfolio.”

“When I consider the contribution and impact that Alec has delivered for TCGplayer since he joined, it surpasses our expectations. We hired Alec over a year ago, and I have to say, Alec has taken our talent acquisition function to new heights, achieving our staffing objectives to drive our business results. Simply put, Alec delivers and when he can’t, which is not often, he shares why. To meet the needs of the business, he is goal focused and driven, employs situational leadership with his team to build on and extract value from their strengths, then challenges the team and his own assumptions to go out and get it done. He is always open to and asking for feedback along the way and takes responsibility for his work and the work of his team. Feedback from his customers (hiring managers and candidates) has been overwhelmingly positive. His team delivers a solid pipeline of candidates with speed, under his leadership, and his positivity radiates through them and into the organization via the hiring managers and candidates they produce. Alec’s recruiting team has grown and matured, developing a very positive reputation within the organization as they deliver results. It’s a pleasure to write and share this recommendation for Alec, as we look back at an amazing first year with TCGplayer! ”
