Job Titles:

Apryl graduated from East Carolina University (Pirates, arrgh!) with a BS in Business with a concentration in Human Resources Management. Yet another long term Raleigh resident, Apryl is a graduate of Millbrook High School.
Married, Apryl enjoys physical fitness and spending time with her two children. As her foot once got run over by a car (no broken bones), she now runs with her head held high.
Aries "fight for their principles and have a stubborn persistence that is unwilling to recognize defeat". These people like to be "the best in everything that they do" and are "goal oriented". Don't tell anyone, but Apryl has long kept a secret journal of her years of staffing accomplishments.
Cindy attended Garner Senior High and earned a Masters in Accounting and Bachelors in Business from UNC-CH. We know what you are thinking….figures it takes a Tarheel to lead a team of so many Wolfpackers!
Married with two young children, Cindy prefers the Wiggles over Barney and has never met a chocolate chip cookie she didn't like (eat).
Cindy facilitates the TSHRM Members in Transition networking group, leads parental volunteer activities at her son's school and contributes to the organizations of her colleagues.
Understanding that Capricorns are tenacious (stubborn) and surprisingly witty, it is no wonder that Cindy is quick with a pun. Oddly the more she has risen through the ranks, the more humorous people find her.

Fitting for the one that has created our first impression for more than a decade, Capricorn's "have excellent manners and are very polite". Thanks, Kelly.

Gemini's have "good personalities and are easy to get to know". That's why she's in-charge of our once monthly teambuilding outings.

When he is not hanging out with his wife and daughter, Mark enjoys playing pool, basketball, Frisbee golf and cooking. Our resident musician, Mark plays guitar, trumpet and the piano - thankfully not all at the same time and not in the office.

When asked what the ‘Power of Positive' means to him, Scott included the following:
Scott continues our streak of finding great recruiters from New York. Born in Huntington, NY, Scott earned his Bachelor's degree in Business from Syracuse University (back when they had a respectable football program).
When Scott is not working the phones building his Engineering pipeline or placing folks into jobs, he enjoys hanging out with his 2 children and their dog. Sports, real estate, traveling and pulling for his favorite New York teams are just a few of his hobbies in his downtime. Occasionally, you will catch him at his favorite watering hole belting out a few verses on Karaoke Night - look out Frank Sinatra!
Married with two children, Scott enjoys golf, cooking, landscaping, and attending country concerts.
Scott is currently on the Johnston Community College Foundation Board and supports the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the NC Children's Promise, the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Network Recruitment Committee, the Me Fine Foundation and coordinates our Adopt-A-Highway outings. Occasionally, Scott will grow his mustache in support of some worthwhile cause (or so he says).
