Bio
Melissa Andrew
I had the pleasure of supporting Amanda as her manager from May of 2022 through August of 2023. During that time, I witnessed Amanda’s authenticity, empathy, and dedication grow and shape a team new to recruiting into top-performing professionals who consistently created strong client advocates for the work they delivered and the relationships they built. In February of 2023, Amanda specialized her practice to focus on Finance and Legal roles across Professional and Executive search. Her team quickly made a brand for themselves through their consistent quality of execution building a book of repeat and referred clients. Amanda’s management allowed her team to be strong performers. She fostered a culture of learning and growth within her practice where folks felt empowered. She created stability for her team with consistent communication and clear expectations allowing her team to reduce outside noise and focus on execution. She also advocated for the career growth of her team, supporting three individuals get promoted and two pivot career paths into Customer Success. Amanda’s relationship-first nature is core to her success as a Manager and Client-Service professional. Her team, her peers, and her clients rally around her not only because of her expertise but also because she truly cares. She is a culture-carrier and someone I hope I have the opportunity to partner with again in the future.
