Bryan Chaney

People Experience Communications & Talent Brand

I love helping brands reach the talent that they need to grow by telling their story better. The game today is perspective - I've spent my life trying to see things from other points of view. This helps with recruiting and marketing, especially on social networking platforms, where I've developed relationships with some fantastic people. I have led Social Media Breakfast in Austin, a career strategy group, and a recruiter network. You could say connecting people is a lucrative hobby/addiction. If I can help you or point you in the right direction, I will be happy to do so. Let's connect.
