As a Certified Staffing Professional with nearly two decades of recruiting experience, Jennifer is a master at “fit finding”. Having spent her entire 19-year staffing career in Washington, she knows exactly where to look for candidates who are the right match for her employer clients.
What Jennifer loves the most about staffing is the opportunity she has to build relationships, recognizing the importance of the recruiter’s role in not just placing people into jobs but significantly impacting people’s lives. She also loves working with numbers so the team relies on her to give them all of the data they need about the local job market and how they are performing as a team – keeping up with industry wide benchmarks of recruiting excellence. For Jennifer, the fast-paced nature of her role on the team provides the perfect balance between the data-driven operations and the human side of the business.
This is what her boss has to say about Jen – “Just over 9 years ago, it was my great fortune to be able to bring Jenn to PACE. She is the queen of “fit finding” – matching the intangible qualities candidates bring to the table with the customers’ needs for results. She is dedicated, focused, and always knows when the right pieces of the staffing puzzle are coming together – or not.”
Other team members have commented on Jenn’s analytic side – calling her “a valuable partner in driving PACE’s data-driven recruiting strategy and consistently helping our team improve our recruiting outcomes. Simply put, when it comes to engaging and recruiting the best talent in the Northwest – Jen makes sure our team has the tools and data make a difference!”
One of the most valuable lessons Jennifer learned at PACE is her ability to embrace change. As she will tell you change has always been a bit scary for her, but somewhere along her PACE journey she shifted that perspective and now enjoys the opportunities change bring for her to learn and grow. This is a mindset she applies to the ever-evolving world of staffing.
Outside of her role at PACE, Jennifer enjoys her time with family – Brian, her husband of 22 years, and two daughters, Addison and Bella. From movie nights to traveling and exploring new places to eat, she cherishes creating traditions and celebrating both big and small moments. And let’s not forget her love for happy hour margaritas, casino trips, spa days, and her passion for flowers and gardening!
Jen also has a third daughter; a furry companion named Lucy, an 8-year-old Havanese who adds an extra layer of joy to the family. Her favorite travel destination is beautiful Maui, where she got married at Kapalua Bay and now continues to create memories with her family.
Jennifer is a proud alumna of Western Washington University, where she earned a BA in Business/Psychology.
