Karen has a big heart from a small town. She grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan, attending the University of Regina, before learning the recruitment business over the course of 20 years with Holloway-Schulz. She joined Goldbeck Recruiting in 2011 and focuses on senior and executive accounting, finance and human resource management roles.

Her focus has been to understand her client’s business, its structure and staff culture to meet immediate and long-term needs.

In her own way she compares recruitment to home life ‘in the kitchen’. The kitchen is where everyone gathers before, during, and after the meal — a place to socialize and connect with others. What she finds fulfilling about being a recruiter is being able to share insights and ideas, bring people together, and create successful long lasting relationships. Karen remains loyal to both her family and clients as they are to her.
