Stuart Mease has committed his career to connecting talent and companies. His service in this industry spans the private, governmental and higher education sectors providing a unique lens to the labor market. Currently, Mease advises organizations and individuals on talent acquisition matters.
Mease spent 15 years at college career centers. Most recently as the Executive Director of Employer Relations at Wake Forest University, and at his alma mater, Virginia Tech, where he oversaw admission and diversity recruiting, mentoring, career services, employer outreach and lifelong career services for the Pamplin College of Business.
He has authored “The Perfect Job Seeker” for Wiley and has developed other content for their Wiley Plus platform. Prior, he worked as a corporate recruiter for Rackspace.
Mease’s enjoyment of working in the talent ecosystem stemmed from a stint at the City of Roanoke, Virginia where he created programs and events aimed at attracting and retaining the creative class workforce. These activities received over 125 local, state and national media exposures. Additionally, Mease has been asked to speak over 100 times to audiences about these programs.
