Karen Russo, CEO and Chief Talent Officer
I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Karen Russo for over two decades. She is smart, pragmatic, customer focused and takes the time to dive deeply into any assignment she is given. She is a shrewd judge of character and has completed every single search I have worked with her on. Karen works quickly, provides updates and demonstrates curiosity, interest and understanding of the industry, organization, culture and fit of the companies that hire her.
VP, Chief People Officer
I've fielded many calls from recruiters over the years but Karen was instantly different. Career change is a major life event, and I felt she took that seriously. After detailed conversations, it was apparent she knew her client’s goals and culture and discussed why she thought I was a fit. She was by my side, during multiple interviews and final negotiations. I wasn't actively looking, but she found me, made a great connection, and changed my life for the better. If she calls you, do yourself a favor, and listen. Thanks, Karen!
General Manager
I would work with Karen Russo in a heartbeat again. I had never met a recruiter who so thoroughly understood the type of person it takes to work in a nonprofit organization and it takes a special kind of person. I’ve worked in the sector my whole career and there is a unique worldview that the right candidates possess and Karen has the ability to zero in on skills and character with precision and great acumen.
