Founder & co-CEO - Instant Impact @ Instant Impact

About

I’m Felix, a proud dad, enthusiastic eater, reluctant peloton user, (and probably more relevant) tech evangelist, and lifetime recruiter. In my day job as co-CEO at Instant Impact I work with inspiring and ambitious small to mid-sized businesses all looking to make their mark, and needing to hire the best diverse talent to do so. Luckily I'm surrounded by some of the most passionate and intelligent recruiters around who haven't met a recruitment challenge that's too tough to crack! I believe in the power of technology to transform talent acquisition and the workforce for the better! I'm a regular contributor to HRO Today, TALiNT, and New Thinking Magazine talking all things Talent Acquisition, RecTech, and AI.

SMEs need better people leadership today than ever before to navigate uncertainty, crisis, and opportunity - that's why we set up Impact X. We make no pretenses to have a little black book, we claim no secret insider knowledge of your next hire.
