Position: HR Recruiter

What were you up to before working at Crosstown?

Prior to Crosstown, I worked as an HR assistant for a company that was aligned with the hotel industry. Unfortunately, the company was severely impacted by COVID and I was in search of a new role. I transitioned into HR for a security company but soon realized there was no growth opportunity and I needed more. Crosstown had an office expansion to Rhode Island where I was living close to at the time and after interviewing and meeting the team I was offered a role as HR Recruiter. Since then I have transferred to the NYC Crosstown team where I work remotely.

Since the shock wave of COVID-19 rolled through the nation, many offices that remain open have had to step up and increase health and safety procedures that adhere to the CDC guidelines. Employee health and happiness is of great importance to us here at Crosstown Solutions and we want to spotlight our very own Head of Sanitation & Office Maintenance; Mark Odom.

Climate change and awareness for sustainability have been rapidly increasing over the years.

Here at Crosstown, we serve not only our for-profit clients but also serve our purpose-driven clients. In fact, our clean-energy client Inspire not only creates a clean energy experience but more so they are creating a clean energy movement.

The foundation of our company is the ability to provide fast-track growth. Our most recent promotion of Joseph Martinez to Branch Manager highlights the speed of upward mobility within our organization, which is something that we are very proud to announce. Mr Martinez will lead our most recent client Nestle Water Ready Refresh in the exciting new market of Jersey City, NJ alongside the help of his team and guidance from the Upper-Level Management of Crosstown Solutions Inc.
