RTC Connects and GCS

Talent is one of the biggest growth decisions a founder makes. In this RTC Connects conversation, David Bloxham from GCS Talent shares lessons from nearly 30 years in technology recruitment and business leadership.

He explains why a company’s people, culture and hiring process shape its ability to attract scarce skills. The conversation covers employer value, interview discipline, onboarding, leadership resilience and the changing demand for AI, data and cyber talent.

David also reflects on management buyouts, private equity, accountability and the pressure of leading through difficult markets. For early-stage and growth firms, it is a practical guide to hiring with care, moving quickly and building teams that can grow with the business.
