Emma is a joy to work with; she is emotionally intelligent, intellectually capable, savvy, curious, helpful, and determined. From the onset of our working relationship, she showed a great deal of interest in HR and wanted to learn as much as she could. She caught on quickly and I can see a bright future for her in any HR role. Emma is always willing to wear many hats, pick up new skills, and solve any problem. She is astute, sensible, and genuine. No task is too big or small and no problem is unsolvable to Emma. She is extremely quick to learn and has fantastic people skills.

Emma makes everything easier-- she's organized, friendly, shrewd, and discreet. She clearly had a good relationship with the HR director to whom she reported, which made collaborating between external recruitment and internal client hr pretty seamless. I worked on a project to difficult, high-level position with her group and she was communicative, supportive, and a great team player. Very diversified skillset and really enthusiastic about holistic hr.
