Mindshare

This self-described advertising nerd fell into HR and never looked back. Mike rose from Talent Scheduler to Jr. Recruiter, creating Ogilvy & Mather’s talent scheduling system and running its summer internship program. He then managed junior talent recruiting at DigitasLBi Chicago and San Francisco before joining Mindshare in 2015. Ten days into Mike’s job, Mindshare picked up the General Mills account, one of the largest wins in the agency’s history – spurring the need for a unique recruiting initiative to keep pace with its growth. Innovative thinking, creativity, leadership, sound judgment, flexibility — Mike continues to keep Chicago’s recruiting ethos on track.
