Bio
Linda Stokely
I have worked for Cathy Searby both as a recruiter for 11 years, and subsequently as a consultant, providing added value with interpretation of statistics and creating motivational materials . Cathy’s strengths are her marketing smarts and constant eye on being on the cutting edge. She is excellent at providing state-of-the-art tools to do the job, plenty of positive encouragement, and an openness to creative ideas. She truly cares about her employees and treats them as family, which accounts for why she has one of the most seasoned, stable staffs in the staffing industry. One of the most valuable tools she provided as an employer was a constant source of leads to her recruiters. Her offices are always professional, warm and inviting.
