How long have you been with firstPRO?
- I started with firstPRO this past summer, end of June 2022.
-
What do you do? What’s your day-to-day like?
- I am an Accounting and Finance recruiter. My day-to-day mostly consists of connecting with prospective candidates, learning about their careers, what their goals are, and what pieces are important to them going forward in their career. My goal is to create an open dialogue about their career search and help create realistic goals and targets.
A big chunk of my day includes sharing details about current openings, discussing candidates resumes with my team, and managing the interview process from preparation to closing offers. Every day is slightly different, and I love that!

What do you love most about the job?
- I really enjoy learning about my candidates' motivations and how they got to where they currently are. I genuinely feel like I am helping people reach the next level in their career, and that is a great feeling.
-
What are the biggest challenges in your job?
- Providing feedback or news that is not expected/not great to candidates. Managing candidates' expectations can also be challenging. In terms of compensation and what is realistic for them, it can be harder conversations to have.

-
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever gotten?
- “Slowdown”
-
What are some of the standout factors you’re looking for when you match candidates with clients?
- Communication style is huge! If I can easily talk to a candidate and can really get a feel for their personality and style, they will stand out to me, and typically, they will to clients as well.
-
Do you stay in touch with your previous placements?
- sure that they are successful and happy, and that this was the right move is a great feeling to have.
-
What do you like to do for fun outside of work?
- I love to dine and discover good food and new wines. I am a big fan of historical fiction novels and (although I hate to admit it) Bravo reality TV.

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
- France!!!!
