Ben Banik

IT Recruiter | ben@integritassearch.com

Prior to joining Integritas, Ben spent 25+ years in IT as a consultant, corporate trainer, programmer, systems administrator, manager and director in the public sector, manufacturing and non-profit organizations. Ben also has a 35+ year history in the fast-paced (and sometimes stressful) world of broadcast television. In fact, if you have attended a Notre Dame football game in the past 35 years, chances are you saw Ben running up and down the home sidelines holding what can only be described as an oversized salad bowl that he points at the field for some unknown reason!

Nonetheless, Ben brings a wealth of experience and understanding to Integritas and is our “go to” guy for clients and candidates focused on Information Technology professionals.
