Kristen was our first recruiter and member of the people team at Ownwell. She helped us build out our initial team that established the foundation for our rapid growth. We were incredibly lucky to find her at an early stage. She was always a delight to work with and candidates always loved interacting with Kristen every step of the way from candidate screening to internal team communications. Thank you, Kristen!

I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Kristen at two different companies over the past few years and I am continually impressed by her dedication to finding the best candidates for any particular role. She is very approachable and goes to great lengths to ensure candidates have a positive experience, even if an offer wasn't extended. Kristen is collaborative, has strong interpersonal skills, and is a team player. She would be a great addition and valuable asset to any recruiting team!
