SUCCESS STORIES

“We hired Brenda as a contract recruiter where she led the sourcing efforts for PwC's second largest US market.. Brenda immediately understood the goals and urgency of our recruiting needs... Brenda was able to put into play several successful recruiting tactics which generated a significant impact on our target candidate pool by developing a thorough and robust candidate pipeline of difficult to find experienced auditors. Brenda executed a system of reaching out, tracking, following up, and submitting qualified candidates in a very timely, efficient and thorough manner. Through her efforts, I can confidently say she was able to uncover and reach out to the majority of target candidates that our firm was seeking.”
