Being named a Top Recruiter for 2024 is an incredible honor, but more than that, it’s a reflection of the relationships, hard work, and dedication that go into this career. This year’s recognition is especially meaningful as it now covers all of North America, making it even more exciting to see our work recognized on a larger scale.
But recruitment is never about just one person. Success in this field is built on trust, collaboration, and a real commitment to matching the right people with the right opportunities.
The Road to Becoming a Top Recruiter
Recruitment isn’t about filling roles—it’s about understanding people, businesses, and the challenges they face. It takes years of experience, countless conversations, and a genuine desire to help companies and candidates find the best fit.
My journey started with one goal: to connect great companies with great people. Over the years, that goal has grown into a deep knowledge of hiring trends, a network of incredible professionals, and a commitment to making every placement the right one.
What Sets a Top Recruiter Apart
Being recognized as a Top Recruiter is about more than numbers. Here’s what I’ve learned makes a real difference:
- Building Real Relationships
Recruitment is a people business. It’s about earning trust—not just for one placement but for the long run. The best recruiters build relationships that last years, not just weeks. - Knowing the Market Inside and Out
A strong recruiter doesn’t just react to hiring needs—they help businesses plan for what’s ahead. Understanding trends, salaries, and industry shifts helps companies hire smarter and gives candidates better career advice. - Working with the Right People
No one succeeds alone. I’m incredibly grateful for my associate, Brenda Cullum-Shergold, who won this award in the past. Our teamwork has been key to delivering great results for our clients. - A Relentless Focus on Quality
Recruiting isn’t about just filling seats—it’s about making the right match. Every placement impacts a company’s future and a person’s career. That responsibility drives everything I do.
A Thank You to My Clients and Colleagues
This recognition isn’t just mine—it’s shared with everyone who has trusted me with their hiring needs and career decisions. I’m beyond grateful for the clients, candidates, and colleagues who have made this journey so rewarding.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue doing what I love: connecting great talent with great opportunities. Here’s to more successful matches and meaningful career moves in the years to come!
