Meet Your Recruiter
David Wells
Recruiting Manager
Raised in Yorba Linda, David lives in the house he grew up in with his wife Alicia and their tiny, but larger than life, Jack Russell Terrier named Leo. Before David became a recruiter, he made a run at playing professional rugby. Professional rugby looked easier on TV than it turned out to be. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology as well as a Juris Doctorate. “Being focused on the long term and doing the process right. There is an art to how the entire recruiting lifecycle is managed if done correctly, versus just worrying about closing the specific transaction” is why David is a great recruiter. He is also fond of breaking into 90’s hip hop song lyrics when the mood strikes him, but you won’t find that on his LinkedIn profile.
