The Ace up your sleeve for all things ‘talent & training.’
Established in 2018
Dream Big was founded in 2018 by Sam Gonzales. DBJ began strictly as a hospitality-focused boutique recruiting firm. What began as a bootstrapped, scrappy operation, quickly found its niche by offering clients high-touch service and uniquely high quality candidates. In 2019, with the desire to expand into broader industries and continue to offer more services to his clients, Sam recruited his long-time former colleague and long-time friend, Matt Bassuk to partner in his growing business. Matt brought a deep background of Learning & Development and digital multimedia skillsets to DBJ. On top of placement services, Sam and Matt began taking on some groundbreaking training projects for some large, well-known brands both in the hospitality industry and beyond. Dream Big Jobs continues to grow each year. Currently the DBJ team consists of four full-time learning designers and four full-time recruiters.
“I never wanted to be just another generic recruiting firm—face it, there’s plenty of those out there. I wanted Dream Big to set the talent industry on its heels. So we brought on the Learning and Development side. Now Dream Big is truly your one stop shop for placing top talent and developing that talent with top-tier training tools.”
