Anthony Bafaro
Anthony has been in the recruiting industry for over 12 years and joined the iBridge Solutions team in December of 2016. His approach has always been for the first conversation to be a proactive one about the goals and skills of individual candidates, rather than just running through a checklist of requirements for whichever positions happen to be hot that day. The result is a consultative, relationship-driven professional partnership that provides value to both active and passive candidates alike, as he monitors the market for opportunities that may provide individuals with better compensation, more convenient commutes, better work/life balance, or greater growth opportunities.
Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his wife, children, and other friends and family members, particularly if there’s a bonfire involved.
