Bio
Ashley Whitney
I have known Angee throughout my entire graduate school experience. She is a superb recruiter and career coach. Her workshops are filled with actionable direction, to which I believe one can apply at any level of their career growth or transition. Her network is vast, because she is committed to fostering those relationships. One on one she is warm, engaged, and professional. She has provided me with some of the most valuable guidance I have ever been given.

I’ve known Angee Linsey for nearly a decade and worked with her initially as a candidate and later as a client. When I was a candidate, I was impressed by her openness and honesty. I never got the impression that she was merely trying to fill the role with a warm body or close the deal just to collect a fee. Angee was genuinely interested in getting to know me and invested in my future; she made sure there was a good match between my needs as a candidate and her client company. Once my expertise was established, it was all about culture and fit. Would I slip seamlessly into the company, find my footing, and contribute right away? Some years later, when I needed to find someone for my team, I saw first-hand how hard she worked to understand the job requirements and the company (strengths, weaknesses, idiosyncrasies) in order to find the best possible candidate. As a former communications professional herself, she intuitively understood the nuances of the role and the skills it would require. In the end, she helped us refine the role, re-calibrate on the skills we were seeking and, ultimately, brought us a candidate who fit into the team from day one.

Executive Recruiter | Career Coach

2008 - Present
I lead a boutique executive search firm that focuses on helping organizations identify the best communications, public relations, speechwriter and marketing talent for their teams. As a former communications professional, I have a deep understanding of the roles we fill. Our process helps our clients get to the heart of what success looks like so that when they meet our candidates, they know they are meeting qualified people who not only have the skill fit, but the culture characteristics needed to be a star in their organization. Additionally, I am passionate about helping professionals be more deliberate in their career. My book, "Dare to be Deliberate - Level Up Your Communications Career" offers insights from 10 communications executives, plus my perspective. Check out our additional coaching and workshops to help you be more intentional in your career! Show less

Who knew there was even such a job to be a writer, desktop publisher and public relations person on board the No. 1 luxury cruise ship (at that time)? It was seriously a dream job. I traveled around the globe (3 times), wrote about people and places and made life long friends.
