“People415 were the perfect team to help us manage and provide high touch engagement to candidates for our Investigator role. It was critical that we were efficient, equitable and intentional. From the initial meeting to the official offer, Thomas who led on the search, went above and beyond to make sure the space was collaborative, he understood the nuance of the role, changing team and organization. The team socialized our role and sourced a high caliber of diverse candidates. People415 used industry best practices and tactics unique to their team that aligned with our values and underscored their commitment to place someone stellar. While we were extremely happy with our hire, I remember our internal hiring committee raving about all the candidates we were able to speak to about the opportunity.

“I have used People415, specifically Becky Barton for two very different roles and two different organizations in the past year. Becky is a sourcing wizard and a true recruiting professional. Her attention to detail in the entire recruiting process is exceptional. Finding highly qualified, passive candidates and introducing them to a new opportunity is no easy feat, but Becky has managed to do it TWICE for me. The caliber and number of candidates that were provided to me were very impressive. Their backgrounds not only matched our "must haves" and "nice to haves" but in addition she found people who would be a value add for our culture. HIGHLY recommend!”

-Justin Schiefner

“I was connected with Becky through an online HR group where she had posted a job opportunity. I had the pleasure of working with her throughout the process of learning more about the role, as well as the actual interview process with the company she was representing.

She was thoughtful, prompt, and friendly throughout the process, and while I did not end up moving forward with that particular position, I would happily work with her again in future job searches.”

-Katrina Guillen

Led by the brilliant, strategically-minded Becky Barton, the People 415 team brings to businesses a whole range of services from an audit (to know where your gaps lie) to handbook development and regulatory-required training.
