Kara Allison is an incredibly driven and passionate recruiter that I had the pleasure of working with for over a year on the same team. She builds quick rapport with candidates and long-term relationships with her stakeholders, and always acts with a great sense of urgency. As a teammate, she was always willing to jump in and help where needed with a positive attitude. Any organization looking to hire high-volumes of new hires into rapid-growth environments would be glad to have her onboard!

I had the pleasure of having Kara Allison on my team. Kara is a strong recruiter who has the ability to take limited information and direction from hiring managers and turn it into great candidates and successful hires. During our time working together, Kara was given many difficult req's to work on- including those in European countries- with limited resources available to help with the language barrier or varying legalities in these countries. With limited resources and direction, Kara exceeded expectations and made a number of hires in these countries: including Germany, Netherlands, Slovakia, and England. I would highly recommend Kara as a recruiter to anyone who is in need of a strong, dedicated employee.
