Who Says My Sweater is Ugly?

Centennial, CO - Team GavinHeath celebrated the holiday season with a company potluck, ugly sweater/outfit contest and a gift exchange!

After enjoying some great food together (best queso ever Manuel Frausto and kudos to Salad King Joseph Fischer), the team voted on ugly sweaters and Dmitriy Kulikov took home top prize with Dane Palazzo rolling in 2nd.

The absolute hit of the gift exchange was a pair of Nerf guns resulting in a requisite battle for office supremacy...gonna anoint Anastasia Young as the Nerf champ. 

From our GavinHeath family to yours, we wish you all a wonderful holiday season and a very Merry Christmas!

Dmitriy Kulikov Selected by Peers for Employee of the Quarter!

Centennial, CO – GavinHeath celebrates a new Employee of the Quarter for Q1 2022; Sr. Technical Recruiter Dmitriy Kulikov!!  The award is solely voted on by company employees who select their peers for the honor.

The GavinHeath Dream Team nominated Dmitriy to receive the prestigious honor!  Here are just some of the wonderful comments D’s peers wrote about him.

Dmitriy battled through COVID early in the quarter and then had to deal with his home country being ruthlessly invaded.  I don’t know how he was able to keep it together, let alone continue to produce at such a high level. Dmitriy = Ukraine Strong 

Dmitry's consistency throughout the entire first quarter really contributed to GavinHeath’s ability to be a reliable candidate providing machine to our clients.

Dmitriy is a recruiting machine. He is very selfless, a great team player and is truly showing what differentiates a great recruiter.

Nothing seems to phase Dmitriy, and he continues to be a positive example for me and the rest of the team members.

Dmitriy’s work ethic is unmatched and his production proves it

Dmitriy submits candidates so regularly, it is hard to picture him doing anything other than recruiting.

Joseph Waber Earns Gavin Heath Whitrock Award!

Centennial, CO - Congratulations to Strategic Recruiting Lead, Joseph Waber, the 1st Quarter 2022 recipient of the Gavin Heath Whitrock Award; demonstrating EXCEPTIONAL Integrity, Ethical Character, Quality Service, Innovation and Teamwork!

Our core values drive virtually everything we do at GavinHeath; the way we work, the way we collaborate, the way we serve our clients and are essential to building the company culture.

Joseph, known around here as “Waber,” operates in business how he operates in life, as a person with a strong moral compass.  Waber is the type to realize he was not charged for a Snickers bar and immediately walks back into the store to correct the oversight!

Waber is always smiling and has an open and inviting demeanor.  That inclusivity is critical to empowering innovation and creation.  Waber is not always a “front and center” change agent, but instead someone who works behind the scenes to foster innovative ideas to improve processes, performance, culture and company success.  Way to go Waber!!

2022 Colorado Companies to Watch Winner!

Denver, CO – GavinHeath’s team was out in force at the 14th Annual Gala Awards Dinner on Friday, June 17, 2022, to celebrate their win as one of 2022’s Colorado Companies to Watch!  After being finalists in 2021, Team GH was elated to be part of this year’s prestigious winners; a group selected from 1,100 nominations gathered from across the state.

In its 14th year, Colorado Companies to Watch (CCTW) is a unique program that honors high-performing second-stage companies from across the state for their performance in the marketplace, innovative products, unique processes and philanthropic actions.

Second-stage companies are those that have moved past the startup stage and into a period of steady state growth. The companies selected make a point about Colorado’s diverse economic landscape. They make an astounding impact on the state’s economy by collectively providing thousands of jobs and contributing millions of dollars in revenue.

“Congratulations to all our winner’s this year! CCTW’s time-honored and rigorous judging process has revealed Colorado’s most visionary, innovative, and successful 2nd Stage companies. These companies employ approximately thirty percent of our state’s talent and have made a $595M impact on Colorado’s economy,” remarked Kim Woodworth, Executive Director of the Economic Development Council of Colorado and CCTW’s 2022 Board Chair. “A more resounding impact is the amount of investment they’ve given back to Colorado’s non-profits serving our local communities. An overwhelming amount of financial and time commitment support was given within the past year. Without this type of give back, many of our support services wouldn’t’ get the necessary funding needed to serve our communities.”

GavinHeath Announces Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Board

Centennial, CO – In December 2021, GavinHeath formed a DEI Board to ensure we are continuing to support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in relation to our hiring practices.  Board Members include Chair Dan Lewis, Rachelle Salem, Joseph Fischer, Zach Everett, Joseph Waber and Daniel Steele.

The first task of the Board was to create a mission statement to translate GavinHeath's values, deliver clarity, provide purpose and demonstrate the company's commitment to providing an inclusive and equitable workplace.

GavinHeath DEI Statement & Board Mission

GavinHeath is more than just a company who includes everyone; we are a woman owned, small business who embodies belonging by striving to embrace all humankind through intention, respect, and equity. Our people are the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but the services we provide to our candidates and clients.

GavinHeath’s DEI Board is devoted to fostering, cultivating, preserving and advancing a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The DEI Board supports our team in mirroring the diversity of the communities where we operate. Through our team of varied experiences, individuals and beliefs, our goal is to cultivate an environment - and ultimately an industry - based on respect, understanding, and welcomed inclusion of those differences.

GavinHeath formed the DEI Board to be more than a 'tick of the box' in diverse staffing. Through listening, learning, and acting, the Board shall ensure GavinHeath provides our partners, clients, and community with the best talent- regardless of age, gender, sex, disability, race, religion, political view, and perspective - because ultimately it is about us all. We will work with both our customers and candidates to ensure all parties are in sync with current diversity trends, initiatives, goals, and experiences. We will advocate on behalf of those who may not have a voice and provide the proper resources, guidance and education to aid all candidates in achieving their career goals.
