Interview with Donna Williams

dmw@vermilliongroup.com

What made you decide to become a recruiter?

A lot of my interest in recruiting came from the experiences I had within the retail arena. I had first hand exposure to unique people and situations and gained an understanding of how important having the right people in the right roles really is to an organization.

What are some attributes that set the best recruiters apart from the rest?

I believe that building relationships is key in this business. But I also know that you can't be afraid of hard work, sweat, and long hours. You have to be committed to the business and success, and you have to work with honesty and integrity at all times.
