Bio
Will Haskins
I was delighted to work with Laura. She took the time to understand both my goals and the client's needs and ensured it was a great fit for everyone. I'd happily recommend Laura as a professional and a person.
Chris C. Anderson
Laura is an excellent, communicative recruiter who is not just only after securing contracts that make her agency revenue, but genuinely attempts to place her people in great roles. She regularly checks up on how things are going and wants to make sure you're in the best possible situation. If something goes wrong, she's got your back and is immediately available. As a senior level placement myself, I can attest to how valuable this is. I feel it both on a personal and professional level. I wouldn't hesitate to engage with Laura to help advance either my personal professional career or to work with Aspire to help build a team with her as a lead.
