what they say
Jaimee is an exceptional partner and recruiting leader. She helped me triple the size of my software engineering organization in a very short period of time. She consistently brought in top tier talent, always keeping quality high.She was a true partner to me and the engineering leaders in my organization. No challenge was too big. She was strategic, thoughtful, and creative - always looking at smart ways for us to grow effectively.
Kelly MacLean, Vice President
Jaimee is hands down the best leader I have ever worked with. I cannot express this enough, the detail, care, empathy and consistent feedback that is provided from her... makes you a better professional, person and partner. Every single day. From the moment I interviewed with her I knew I would be led by an extraordinary woman. In every conversation there was strategy, candidness, and a path forward. Jaimee never "gave" the answer, she influenced and pushed you to think and grow into the way to handle the difficult scenarios yourself.
Ellycia Colon, Recruiter
Jaimee is one of the most exceptional recruiting leaders I've had the pleasure to work with. Her ability to cut through the noise and drive common-sense, data-driven solutions to move the business forward brings enormous value to organizations competing for talent. Beyond her recruiting business acumen and expertise, Jaimee is a respected leader. I have watched her first-hand as she "walked the talk" and inspired her team to achieve unprecedented results while building a sense of belonging and inclusion that recognized people's unique strengths.
Jeremiah Mayfield, Director
When it comes to people management, Jaimee's approach is honest, direct, and empathetic. One of her highest values is integrity and she exudes it throughout all of her work and leadership, and holds her team to hold themselves to the same standard. She also has a way of infusing fun and humor into the day-to-day, something that was invaluable in the high pressure work we were doing together. If I was building a dream team, Jaimee would be at the top of the list of people I'd want to recruit to lead and execute.
