Bio
Corbin Whitton
I was contacted by Brandie about a position for a client her company represents. I was pleased with her quick responses, her professionalism, and her communication skills regarding the hiring process. Brandie makes you feel valued. Her recruiting skills stand out to me above the rest because she follows up with you, she lets you know the status of the hiring process. She makes the job application process pleasurable in a career climate where "ghosting recruiters" are all too common. She cares about finding a best fit for the job applicant, and values connecting companies with stellar candidates.
Jason Weber
A person as skilled, professional, and insightful as Brandie is rare. Then, after working with her a short time, it becomes clear that those things are only exceeded by her kindness and humility. I have had the privilege to work with Brandie for several years. She is a focused problem-solver while also understanding and celebrating colleagues with different skill sets. She represents an incredibly unique combination of operational excellence with a deep care for others.

The Christian Alliance for Orphans unites 200+ respected organizations and a global network of churches in coordinated initiatives that inspire and equip Christians to live out the Bible’s call to care for vulnerable children.

Responsible for delivering measurable, mission-impacting results that make the CAFO vision a reality, including:• Successfully empowering and supporting the team to deliver financial KPIs and internal performance metrics required by the Board of Directors.• Daily management of internal operations including finance, legal, HR, recruiting, and program deliverables.• Develop and manage processes and systems to scale for a membership base of 200+ non-profit organizations and 750+ church members.• Developed from concept to successful integration, a productivity system for team collaboration and innovation, outcome accountability, and individual recognition.• Manage multi-disciplinary teams comprised of consultant, 20+ employees, and 200+ volunteers. Developed hiring, training and retention processes. • Successfully managed annual audits with external auditing firms.• Responsible for state solicitation filings & annual state and federal tax filings.
