Who is Kris? That’s an easy question – He’s a VP of HR type at DAXKO who has led HR practices in Fortune 500s and venture capital-held startups. Kris believes that if you aren’t an active recruiter/talent agent as an HR pro (regardless of title or position), you’re overhead. He cringes when peer HR types act like administration is job #1 and allow it to dominate their professional identities.

If you like that description, you’ll like Kris. It’s that simple.

Kris is also among the most transparent HR pros you can find, and here’s why. He cares so much about the art of HR that he’s started two blogs (www.hrcapitalist.com and www.fistfuloftalent.com) with the goal of building a community he could learn from. He’s been putting his thoughts down every business day for 3 years.

That means what you see is what you get. He can’t hide, and if he ever pulled the blogs down, Google would probably haunt his career forever anyway.
