Gino began his career at American Recruiters in 1986 as a new recruiter.

Over the past four decades, Gino played a key role in transforming American Recruiters into a national executive search & consulting firm on several fronts.

First, in 1990 was the establishment of what is presently our largest segment of executive search, our Healthcare recruitment business segment. Later in 1990, American Recruiters launched its presence into the very specialized field of recruiting in the space known as the commercial foodservice equipment and supplies industries.

In 1999, Gino launched the franchise program at American Recruiters.  This is where he began replicating the American Recruiters’ business model, along with its successes, through the establishment of the franchising model and opened its first franchised location in Chicago, Illinois.

Gino is originally from Herkimer, NY and is a University of Miami graduate, BBA, 1984. He married his wife Terri in 1993 and has two children. He is a very active member of his church.

Daryn Edelman – Certified Professional Resume Writer

Daryn Edelman American Recruiters Professional Resume Services

Daryn Edelman, CPRW, is American Recruiters’ Resume Swagger Specialist. He has been creating ‘results-getting’ resumes for nearly 20 years for interns to C-levels and board members of Fortune 100 corporations. He is a proud UCLA Bruin who started his career working in a famous animal hospital in Beverly Hills, serving Hollywood A-list dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters (actual client list confidential). Ultimately, he knew he was destined to help humans, so he switched his major to Education and followed in his mom’s footsteps to become a teacher in Los Angeles. He started resume writing as a side hustle (before “side hustle” was a thing), eventually opening his own company and working with tens of thousands of clients over the years to get them their dream jobs. Daryn still resides in Los Angeles and is ferociously proud of his daughter, currently studying subjects he doesn’t understand in the least, at The Technion in Israel.

You’ll find Daryn snowboarding in winter, working out, playing basketball, and taking Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (not all at the same time). He enjoys theater, volunteering for various causes, personal development, and being the best dad he could be.

Daryn’s favorite saying that guides his passion for helping others: “Your resume is one of the most important resources you own. When it works, you do; and when it doesn’t, you don’t.”
