Bio
Susan Bryant, CPA, CTP
Jolene is an exceptional professional who I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with (as a previous client) for the past several years....and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any business owner who needs help finding the right candidate for their A-team. Jolene delivers results.
Christi Redfearn, MBA, LEED AP
I worked with Jolene and her team to bring on a new controller for my company. They explained the process, helped me understand how they would bring candidates to me, and asked several questions to make sure they were searching for a great fit. Her team quickly found several excellent candidates for me to interview and choose from - ended up making it a difficult decision because each person I interviewed would have done the job well, so I was able to focus on how they would fit into our culture. My new controller has been in place a few months now, and I'm so excited to have her on board because she's doing amazing things with our accounting department. Jolene and her group have also been great about checking in with me to make sure I'm still happy with their service. Hands down an excellent, professional group and I'm happy to recommend Jolene for anyone's recruiting needs.
