True Talent Group Brings Me True Joy
December 2024Reflecting on the Past 16 Years
Back in 2008, I decided there has to be a better way to do recruiting – I didn’t want to just place people in jobs and move on to the next one. I wanted to help people find work that they love and a place where they belong. I ventured out on my own in one of the worst economic times with the belief, I could make a difference in other people’s lives. After 16 years in business, I know what we do at True Talent Group, truly makes a difference and that brings me true joy.
To me, the greatest joy isn’t just in placing someone in a job or securing the perfect candidate for a client. It’s in knowing that what we do every day is making a real difference in the lives of individuals, teams, and organizations. True joy, for me, is about creating lasting, meaningful connections that lead to both personal and professional fulfillment.
When I first started True Talent Group, I had no idea how much the work would change me or how deeply it would resonate with my passion for helping others. Now, as we approach the close of 2024 and I look back on all we’ve accomplished, I can’t help but reflect on what true joy means to me.
True Joy in Helping People Find Work They Love
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work is seeing people find jobs that are truly a fit for them. Over the years, I’ve helped more than 1,000 people land roles in creative and marketing fields that match their skills, passions, and personalities. I can still remember the excitement in the voices of candidates when they land their dream job, knowing that this is not just a paycheck, but a position that fits who they are and what they value.
At True Talent Group, we don’t just match people to job descriptions. We dive deep into understanding the candidates we work with—their strengths, their aspirations, and the type of work culture that brings out their best. When a candidate gets that call with an offer for a job that makes them excited to go to work every day, that’s a moment of true joy.
I’ve seen the transformative power of finding the right fit—both for the candidate and the company they join. The sense of fulfillment that comes with helping someone find a role that aligns with their skills and values is beyond words. There’s no greater joy than knowing we’ve helped someone unlock their potential and find a place where they feel valued, challenged, and inspired.
True Joy in Helping Clients Find Talent That Fits
On the flip side, we experience true joy when we help our clients find talent that aligns with their company culture and goals. Over the years, I’ve worked with numerous companies, from startups to large enterprises, helping them build high-performing teams. But what truly excites me is when we’re able to match them with candidates who fit not just the skill set they’re looking for, but also their organizational culture.
There’s a unique kind of satisfaction that comes from knowing we’ve not only found someone who can do the job but also someone who wants to be part of that team. It’s one thing to hire a candidate for their expertise, but it’s another to find someone who will thrive, contribute, and stay long-term because they feel they are truly aligned with the values of the company. True joy for me is in those long-term relationships where both the client and the candidate are growing together.
Finding talent that fits is about much more than filling a seat. It’s about finding a partner for your business—someone who will bring their unique strengths and perspective, and contribute to a culture of innovation, collaboration, and success. This is the work we do at True Talent Group, and it’s what keeps me passionate about helping businesses build teams that will thrive for years to come.
True Joy in Supporting Causes That Matter
Another source of true joy in my life comes from our commitment to supporting organizations that align with our values. We call these our True Causes, and they include some truly incredible organizations, such as Feed My Starving Children, Dress for Success, Art Buddies, and others that are near and dear to my heart.
Through True Talent Group, we’ve had the opportunity to partner with and support causes that are making a real difference in the world. Whether it’s helping feed hungry children around the globe, empowering women to achieve financial independence through professional attire and coaching, or helping kids find their creative voice through art education, we’re proud to support these organizations that are doing such important work.
Every year, we participate in volunteer efforts, fundraising campaigns, and donation drives, and I’m always amazed by how much joy it brings to give back to others. The impact we make may seem small in comparison to the scale of some of these challenges, but every little bit counts. The feeling of contributing to something larger than ourselves and knowing that we’re making a tangible difference is what truly fuels the spirit of giving.
At True Talent Group, we believe that true joy isn’t just about the work we do, but about the positive change we can create in the world around us. As we head into the new year, I’m more committed than ever to continuing our work with these incredible causes and finding new ways to give back to the communities that have supported us along the way.
True Joy in Building a Strong, Supportive Team
None of this would be possible without the talented, passionate team at True Talent Group. Over the years, we’ve built a team of people who are not only experts in recruiting but also genuinely care about the people they work with. We all share the same mission: to help others find true joy in their work and to build lasting, meaningful relationships.
The joy I feel from working with such a dedicated group of individuals is immeasurable. They are the backbone of True Talent Group, and every success we’ve had is thanks to their hard work, passion, and commitment. I’m incredibly grateful for each and every person who has been part of our journey, and I look forward to continuing to grow together.
True joy is about community, and I’m so thankful for the community we’ve built here at True Talent Group. From clients to candidates, to our incredible team and the organizations we support, we’re all part of something bigger than ourselves. And that’s what makes the work we do every day feel so meaningful.
Looking Ahead: 2025
As we close out this year and reflect on all that we’ve accomplished, I’m filled with excitement for what’s to come. In 2025, we’ll continue to focus on helping people find work that brings them joy, helping clients build teams that thrive, and giving back to the causes that matter most to us. We’re also excited to expand our reach and create even more opportunities for growth and connection, both professionally and personally.
True joy is not just a feeling—it’s a way of living and working. It’s about finding purpose, creating impact, and building relationships that are meaningful and lasting. Whether it’s through helping someone find their dream job, matching a client with the perfect candidate, supporting causes we believe in, or simply taking a moment to appreciate the work we do, true joy is at the heart of everything we do at True Talent Group.
As we enter this holiday season, I encourage you to reflect on the moments of true joy in your own life and how you can continue to spread that joy to others. There’s no greater gift than the happiness we create together.
From all of us at True Talent Group, we wish you a joyful, peaceful, and prosperous end to the year. Thank you for being part of our journey—we look forward to many more years of joy, growth, and success with you!
