I am not surprise when I look at Amber's work history and see that she is constantly moving up. Amber is professional, personable and efficient. I enjoy working with Amber and she brings a lot to the table.

Amber is a consummate staffing professional. During her tenure with Volt, I have witnessed her professional growth as she progressed her career with Volt completing several projects as a On-Site Program Manager, Recruiter, Business Development Manager and finally, a Branch Manager. I had the pleasure of managing her early in her career when she assisted my Branch in a Recruiter and On-Site Program Manager role. Amber possesses an amazing talent of being able to balance her desk with perfect time management while giving top priority to providing the best possible staffing solutions to her clients.

      As the District Manager for Southern Nevada – Las Vegas, I am responsible for producing results to benefit the overall operation of a near $4 million dollar market in the arena of full cycle workforce solutions. It is my charge to meet and exceed financial targets; be it sales, fees, gross profit, contribution and/or hours. I’ve built a team thru leadership, hard work and individual strengths that has earned accolades for our customer service, engagement, follow through and ability to listen and understand what our partners are seeking. In all that is done I strive to be in line with the Kelly Services business strategy and have been afforded the ability to utilize creativity and market knowledge to gain market share. In addition, I support and manage the other key elements of the local market such as business development, service delivery, customer and employee retention, recruiting, and expense management (e.g., workers’ compensation, unemployment compensation, general operating expenses / P&L etc.). I deliver the full package to my clients through a partnership with them and the backing of a solid local team, a reputable global company and the valued resources found therein. The spectrum of offerings and services is vast: Finance/Accounting, Information Technology and Engineering, Office/Clerical, Contact/Customer Service Centers, Manufacturing/Light Industrial/Assembly, Substitute Teaching and Convention/Marketing. Within these we can take it where my clients envision and into sectors they’ve yet to consider: Direct Hire, Contract and/or Contract to Hire, Recruitment and Business Process Outsourcing, Contingent Workforce Outsourcing etc. Show less
