About Dave
Dave's Bio

I am a Senior Technical Staffing professional with over two decades of proven success in recruiting top talent for a wide range of clients. I have a deep understanding of IT roles and emerging technologies across software development, infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, AI/ML, and other platforms and services used to deliver technical solutions.

I live with purpose and value every relationship so I'm not simply matching keywords on a resume to a description. Changing jobs is a time of uncertainty, doubt, and fear for everyone. Each person I encounter gives me an opportunity to encourage and uplift someone experiencing the stress of a job search.

Recruiting Since
2000

Why I love to recruit
I love sharing ideas and strategies to help take their career to the next level. I get a great deal of personal satisfaction from listening to what you want and helping you uncover avenues that lead to those objectives. I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and counseling more people than I can count and there’s no better feeling than helping people pursue their dreams.

When I'm not working I like to
Hang out with my wife (and two grown sons when they're around). Watch KC Royals and Chicago Cubs baseball. (we're KC season ticket holders). Travel across the US with my family and friends. Ride motorized, electric, and analog bikes. As a multi-instrument musician I play and listen to all kind of music. Referee high school varsity basketball.

About Dave Templeman:

Dave Templeman was very knowledgeable about UX/UI Design and that is a very rare skill for a recruiter to have. I was astounded by his knowledge of the field, expertise with Section 508 Compliance regulations as well. I enjoyed the screening interview and getting to know him. He's very transparent and honest. I've found that those are two skills lacking in most recruiters that I've dealt with during a difficult job market. I'd recommend Dave to anyone who is a jobseeker like myself.

About Dave Templeman:

I applied for a TriCom posting and sent Dave a message that I had done so. He IMMEDIATELY got in touch with me, even though we had not been in contact for several years. Back then, Dave was an incredibly valuable resource for me and our experience working together was fantastic. This time has been exactly the same. He has given me transparent advice, great job suggestions and kept me well informed along the way. I feel very confident we will find me a wonderful position in the very near future. And that Dave will stay engaged and valuable until we do. I would recommend him to anyone and have in the past.

About Dave Templeman:

Extremely personable and cares about people. It was clear and evident that Dave is passionate about seeking to meet the needs of employers and potential employee during the most challenging part of the consultants career- the interview process. To Dave's Boss...You have one tremendous team mate in Dave, he's not only a 'keeper' but he is a model to gauge any future recruiter hires against, seek to clone him!
