Most recently, Hawkins was chief sales officer at Kelly Services, leading a $3.6B customer portfolio through direct employees in more than 15 countries throughout the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Western Europe and the Middle East. Prior to that, he was SVP global sales and marketing for Xerox HR Services/Buck Consultants responsible for the United States, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and Western Europe markets. He has extensive experience leading global business units and P&Ls across multiple industries and orchestrating commercial transformations that deliver sustained and record-setting profits.
“The world of work is changing at an unprecedented pace with today’s workers demanding freedom, flexibility and a consumer-like experience when managing their careers,” said Hawkins. “Companies must make organizational changes as to how they acquire and manage talent or they risk becoming non-competitive or obsolete. WorkLLama is one of the very few organizations that has stated loud and clear they are making the world of work a better place. WorkLLama unwaveringly focuses on delivering amazing human experiences throughout their talent community platform as candidates and employees engage with companies in new and refreshing ways.”
