May in Bloom

Hello friends!


May is here and with it comes an array of candidates and openings that we're excited to help match! Though we connect with many of you during business hours, it was so wonderful to see some of you at the recent HRLF Leadership Awards in Boston.


In our latest C-Suite Conversation we connect with Sue Quackenbush of Dynatrace. Sue has served as CPO for three companies in which she has been their first CPO! She brings great perspectives this month on helping companies navigate change, and some recent successes she's had in her workplace.


Also, we're excited to team up with Gallagher for a discussion on AI and the impact on HR. Join us next month at the Gallagher office in downtown Boston for the conversation.


We hope you're enjoying Spring and don't hesitate to reach out if you're in need of your next great HR placement or the next step in your HR journey.


Happy May!

A Final Word: Recognition

Abraham Lincoln once said "Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition." It was rewarding to be surrounded by such recognized HR greatness this past month at the HR Leadership Awards. To be nominated is an honor, and we look forward to seeing who will receive that recognition in future years. Thank you to everyone who sent in a nomination!
