Ryan Brogan | Founder & CEO, Magnet Agency

Although he's considered one of the top Internet and new media recruiters in New York City, Ryan doesn't like to be called a "recruiter" because, frankly, he doesn't like them. Passionate about product development and entrepreneurship, Ryan gravitates toward the types of people he hires - and few of them are recruiters.

With nearly a decade of experience placing executive, technology and new media talent, at all levels, for some of the world's most influential brands - as an agency-side recruiter (Metamerica; CCN), a digital recruitment consultant (Viacom/MTV Networks), and as a senior manager of global recruiting (Time Warner) - Ryan has seen the best and worst of search and hiring practices from all angles.

Ryan has helped the companies he's worked with save untold millions by reducing time spent, eliminating the need to pay additional vendors, and easing friction between hiring managers and HR gatekeepers. By strategically targeting only prospective hires whose core competencies and personality profiles fit both the job requirements and its surrounding culture, Ryan's career is testament to the fact that Magnet's retained search methodology can be successfully applied to any business model.

Because of his background and obsession with researching what's next, Ryan is one of a rare breed capable of assessing the candidate's technical abilities within the context of their interpersonal skills and communication style. As such, Ryan's placements are generally long-term strategic fits; people who add value and enrich the culture of the organizations hiring them.

Ryan has completed hundreds of successful searches across the technology and new media landscape for confidential clients as well as organizations such as MTV, VH1, Spike, Logo, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, Neopets, Time Warner, HBO, AOL, Time Inc, Flavorpill, The United Nations, JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Pfizer, Coach, and many others whose confidentiality remains sacred.
