Taylor Gianakos

Talent Acquisition Manager, North America
Music Lover, Good Advice Giver, ENFP Personality

What is your background and how did it lead you to RELEX?
I’ve been in the IT Talent Acquisition space since 2015 and I love it. I’m a relationship builder and a helper by nature, and this allows me to tap into both of those skills. I wanted growth potential and I wanted to work for a global tech company with a great product and fantastic culture – I checked those boxes and then some when I landed at RELEX.

What is the most surprisingly helpful piece of advice anyone has given you about your own career?
I’m not sure I can choose just one. My parents instilled these two ideals in me from the start:

1.Do what it takes to get the job done – then do just a little bit more. This not only sets you apart, but you’ll always be proud to put your name on your work.

2.Take care of your people and your people will take care of you. This can be someone you manage, a peer, or your superiors – it’s amazing what you’ll get in return when you lead with empathy and ’do the right thing’ to support those you work with.

Favorite interview question:
”What is something you’ve accomplished that you’re most proud of?” It’s so interesting to hear what people have done while also providing insight to what they value.

RELEX Solutions to me in 3 words:
Smart, passionate, growing.

Fun Fact:
I’m a big sports fan – I even play in three fantasy football leagues.

Mari Leppänen

Talent Acquisition Manager, Finland
Proud Mommy, Foodie, Traveler

What is your background, and how did it lead you to RELEX?
I have a Master’s Degree in General and Adult Education from the University of Helsinki, where I also studied Social Psychology. Before joining the RELEX family, I worked for six years as an IT Recruiter in one of the fastest-growing staffing companies in the Nordic region. I think that the key things in propelling my career have been my strong passion for learning and appreciation of curiosity. I am fascinated by people who are at the top of their game. What could be better than working in a Finnish software company where I can learn something new on a daily basis?

What is the most surprisingly helpful piece of advice anyone has given you about your own career?
Trust and be yourself in all situations.

RELEX Solutions to me in 3 words:
Experience, intelligence, caring.

Fun Fact:
In 2013 I went on around the world backpacking trip with a friend: 10 countries in 7 months.
