He also helped launch 52 Limited, a creative staffing agency operating in Portland.

A veteran of the creative world, Potestio has also worked as a graphic designer, copywriter, project manager, account manager, and was the director of HR/Operations for Portland’s largest digital agency. In addition to his staffing career, Potestio has worked with hundreds of creative agencies on internal talent issues, growth strategies, and building “people positive” cultures.

“Harvester Talent is the evolution of my brand and my companies,” notes Potestio. “We engage with talent at the highest level and our expertise can help companies build out complete internal teams and departments.”

Harvester Talent places creative and marketing professionals into contract/temporary and full-time direct hire positions. Operating out of San Francisco and Portland, Harvester brings an original and experienced approach to the staffing industry.
