Jason Banks, CSP, entered the staffing and recruitment industry in 1998, after a successful five-year career in advertising sales at CNN, a division of Turner Broadcasting. This experience put him at the forefront of the eMedia movement and at LLoyd, he spearheaded the placement of nationwide web talent through a division originally known as Spider Staffing, which eventually morphed into LLoydCreative & Digital Talent. Today Jason oversees all of LLoyd’s Direct Hire and Contract/Temporary Staffing divisions and specialized disciplines.
