Bio
Cat Ferry
When Kaitlyn cold-messaged me on LinkedIn about an opportunity, I figured she was just like every other external recruiter: kind and friendly, but distant and clearly only had the hiring employer in mind. But after our first conversation, I knew there was something different about her. Not only was she professional and easy to talk to, but she was "real" and genuine and the perfect combination of formal and casual. Chatting with her felt like talking to a friend, not just someone tasked with filling an open position. Over the next two weeks, Kaitlyn was available and responsive and I never once had to wonder if she had my best interest in mind. At the end of the process, I was presented with an excellent job offer higher than what I was expecting. Though I was thrilled with the offer, I unfortunately ended up turning it down for another opportunity and was genuinely disappointed that Kaitlyn would lose that recruiting commission after all her hard work. Her response? "Don't worry about it, girl, I'm glad you found a great fit and wish you the best of luck. I'm here if anything changes." I still miss having an excuse to chat with her every day. If you or someone you know is looking for new job in the ecommerce or digital marketing field, Kaitlyn's got you!
