Top SchoolGaelen Kash is a principal and founder of Recruiting Concepts, a boutique IT recruiting firm he launched in 2002 that specializes in placing mid- and senior-level software and product professionals with deep JavaScript expertise. Based in Richmond, he has spent the last decade building and nurturing the local tech ecosystem—founding RVA.js, RVA Code & Coffee, the Richmond JavaScript Conference, and the 1,500+ member RVAdev Slack community—to create genuine, code-first developer networks. He practices servant leadership, prioritizing community growth and long-term relationships that uncover passive but highly passionate talent. Gaelen combines recruiter instincts with event curation and grassroots community building, making him as comfortable matching engineers to roles as he is organizing multi-track conferences and hands-on meetups.
