Hi, I’m Kimberly – a Direct Hire Recruiter specializing in Skilled Trades within the manufacturing industry. With years of experience in recruiting, I’ve come to know that it’s not just about filling a position; it’s about matching the right talent with the right opportunity. My focus is on making meaningful placements that benefit both companies and candidates, especially in a market where skilled tradespeople are the backbone of our industry.

What Drives Me
I am passionate about helping skilled professionals, particularly Engineers, Leaders, Maintenance Mechanics, CNC Machinists, Programmers, and Quality Inspectors, find the right fit for their careers. My approach is centered on building relationships with candidates, getting to know their career goals, and keeping them on my radar for future opportunities. Whether it takes days or years to place them, I’m committed to ensuring they land in roles that are a perfect match.

My Strategy
Tapping into the passive job market has been key to my success. I go beyond active searches, listening to candidates and keeping up with their career aspirations. My best results have come from a mix of broad searches and personalized outreach, often with simple, clear communication that resonates.

Outside of Work
In my community, I’m surrounded by supportive, family-oriented neighbors who share a similar dedication to helping one another. I bring this same supportive spirit into my work, creating connections and helping professionals achieve their career goals.

Final Thoughts
The manufacturing industry is at the core of our economy, and I am proud to be a part of it, supporting the people who make it all happen. Whether you’re a skilled trade professional or a company looking for top talent, let’s connect!
