Bio
Lisa Rahn
From the perspective of a recruitment candidate, Tracy Augustine (and by extension OceansThree) was professional, helpful, supportive, thorough, and organized. Equipped with extensive knowledge of the education industry, Tracy discussed the role and the company deeply, assessed fit on behalf of both parties, and attracted candidates in an authentic manner. Tracy’s proactive approach was key – she scheduled pre-interview sessions to manage expectations, reached out when she received new information, and followed up consistently (even post-hire). Her coaching was natural, supportive, and provided the tools to navigate and succeed through the process. Know that Tracy’s professionalism sets OceansThree apart from other recruiting companies. I recommend Tracy and OceansThree to both firms that need to recruit as well as to individuals who want to work in the education and in the edtech industries. Tracy’s efforts are the reason I found a dream position. Even if I had not been successful in securing this position, I gained much insight about myself during the process. I am incredibly grateful for Tracy and OceansThree.

I highly recommend Tracy (and Oceans Three) if you are looking for great people in the education/ed tech sector. Throughout the entire engagement, Tracy was professional, communicative, proactive and discerning. No nonsense, but fun. Tracy provided me with a shortlist of qualified, legitimate candidates, and I am thrilled with our hire. Tracy had to juggle some twists and turns throughout the process, and I appreciated her counsel and perspective throughout. She also saved me so much time as she stayed close to multiple candidates throughout a lengthier than originally hoped for process, and helped to close the deal. The best evidence of the high regard in which I hold Tracy is that our company awarded her our next search without hesitation.
