Bio
Alison Walker
I had the pleasure of working with Kristin at Facebook, where she managed the security engineering team's interview scheduling efforts. Kristin embedded herself within security and built strong relationships with the recruiting team, hiring managers, and interviewers. She is incredibly organized and was very creative in her approaches to problem solving and improving operational efficiency. I can honestly say she was one of the best Coordinators I've worked with in my 6 years with the company. Her positivity is contagious, and she will be a great value add to any team.

I had the pleasure of both working with and reporting to Kristin for two years as a recruiting coordinator at Meta. Kristin was an exceptional manager that displayed great care and empathy, provided clear guidance and feedback, and went above and beyond to set our team of 9 up for success. She created strong relationships with our team's cross functional partners and constantly encouraged me to be more forward-thinking and to think bigger picture. Kristin inspires and motivates me to be at my best everyday, and any company would be lucky to have a results-driven and effective leader like Kristin.

Kristin is a STAR! She is quite possibly the best cross-functional partner with incredible follow-up skills and I absolutely love brainstorming and planning with her. Her commitment to her product is also unparalleled and she is loved as a people manager. Her team looks up to her and is so encouraged and supported by her. I highly recommend Kristin and always jump at the opportunity to partner with her.
