What People Say about Candace’s Work
“When I first met Candace, I had a role in supporting the hiring process at our school. That role quickly changed and I became the lead on hiring. When this transition happened, Candace was there to guide me through the steps and allowed me to gain confidence in this new role. I felt heard, supported and valued by her throughout the process!”
— Vicki Hlubek, Interim Principal/ Dean of Academics
“Candace is so great to work with. Mindful of your time, understanding your preferences and really works hard to tailor her searches individually. Her focus on feedback from us is not just cursory. I see the impact of our feedback with each subsequent hire. She’s gotten so good at knowing us, she’s actually been able to say, “I don’t think that’s really what your looking for…” and you know what, she has always been right!”
— Michael Meier, Director
“Candace did an excellent job sourcing quality candidates, organizing our hiring efforts, and ensuring we had everything we needed to have a smooth interview process. She was super reliable in her communication throughout the process and an integral support for our team.”
— David Schnall, Chief Academic Officer
Why Helia LOVES Candace
Candace is the ultimate social sector doer — she sees a problem, comes up with a solution, and then jumps right into the work, all with a very neatly organized project plan! Relationships are the core of everything she does, and putting people before numbers ensures the people she hires stay and thrive at their organizations.
