Bio
Janell Larson
I have nothing but the utmost respect for Chelsea Kroes and her work. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chelsea at two separate companies and would hire her again if given the chance! Chelsea is a talent leader who is constantly thinking strategically about what her clients need. I’ve seen Chelsea build rapport with teams in very stressful and difficult situations to deliver them top talent in tough industries and markets. She knows how to listen to the client while engaging and meeting the needs of the candidate to create win-win situations. I can’t recommend Chelsea enough to anyone considering her services. You’ll be nothing but impressed with the team she’ll help you build!

I had the pleasure of not only being Chelsea's manager but working with her as a true business partner. Chelsea showed a high level of professionalism in often challenging situations. She used her technical savvy as a tool for her in being an efficient and effective recruiter. Chelsea is driven to find the best candidate but also to find the right candidate. She is a true advisor to her clients and the candidates resulting in hires of high caliber employees. I would recommend Chelsea for any opportunity as I know she will always rise to the occasion.
