Paul Bunda

Principal Consultant & Trainer

Paul Bunda draws from over 20 years of experience in corporate talent acquisition, with a focus on employer brand, recruitment marketing, and recruiting operations (technology, assessment, and selection). He has been a recruiting practitioner and leader for a wide array of organizations in a variety of industries and sectors: from SMB/SME (Clearwire, Foundation 9 Entertainment, and Point.com) to Large Enterprise (AT&T, Expedia, T-Mobile, and Waste Management).

Paul has earned a reputation for being innovative, resourceful, committed to excellence, and for building high-performance teams. Through his leadership, the T-Mobile team developed and launched technology which made them one of the first in the world to give candidates search and apply capabilities from mobile devices. The T-Mobile team also earned back-to-back CandE Awards and was an ERE Recruiting Excellence Award finalist during Paul’s tenure for its candidate experience innovations.

Paul has provided training and recruitment consulting services to organizations of various shapes and sizes, including leading organizations in technology, entertainment, healthcare, international development, as well as NGOs. Above all, he is committed to helping individuals and teams see beyond current constraints to help them achieve their goals for candidates and hiring teams.

Many have posited that recruiting is not rocket science. Originally studying Aerospace Engineering before transitioning to Organizational Management, Paul can confirm that such is, indeed, not the case. However, recruiting is also not easy to do well, and hiring decisions tend to be some of the most impactful choices an organization makes. As a consultant, Paul helps organizations get the most from their recruiting strategies, processes, systems, and people.
