Bio
Sarah Aurich
Jennel worked with Management Recruiters International Sacramento while finishing her BA degree. I trained her in research and recruiting top talent for our clients. She was a quick learner, always a team player and never shied away from new challenges we presented her. She was willing and able to assist the administrative team at the same time taking on recruiting projects for our senior assignments. Always professional, productive and eager to learn, we regretted losing her, but wished her the best when she was offered an opportunity to move forward with her HR career.
