Bio
Nicole Zellie Lann
I knew Kim was a star when I hired her for a Senior Specialty/Diversity Recruiter position for my team at Giant Eagle. She quickly hit the ground running in that newly created role by compiling a qualified, slate of diverse candidates for each role that was assigned to her. During the time she worked for me, she took on every search with finesse and tenacity, which allowed me to see her innate ability to locate and spot the right talent for very niche and challenging roles. In fact, she sourced an excellent candidate who was hired to help build out the Supplier Diversity team, that person continues to thrive in the role and add tremendous value to the company and the overall IE&D strategy. I’d hire Kim again in a heartbeat.

I have had the privilege of working with Kim Bobb on multiple projects. Kim goes the extra mile to understand all features and benefits of the recruiting tools she has available to her. For example, she became a LinkedIn Certified Recruiter. She is successful at meeting tough deadlines, managing high volumes, and meeting hiring manager’s needs. She is also more than willing to help her teammates with their tough searches. Kim is diligent, persistent, flexible, and creative. Bottom line, Kim takes pride in her work and it shows.
