“Lena worked with me providing support for my recent book. I found her to be well organized, detail oriented and diligent; always tackling assignments in a timely and professional manner. She was extremely knowledgeable on current research resources and tools and took the initiative to go beyond the immediate task to improve the result. She is definitely a person who can get the job done!” William Schiemann, CEO, Metrus Group
“Lena is proactive, intelligent and funny. She has great insight and is willing to go the extra mile in order to get things done.” Katie Sheehy-Rickard, Sr. HR Specialist, The Revere Group
“It was a pleasure working with Yelena on a critical project where staffing played a critical role. Her unique knowledge of the Canadian marketplace was leveraged and she was able to achieve key staffing results which in turn, improved our financial position. Yelena's unique skill-set proved to be successful to her client groups. I look forward to working with her again in the future.” Sabrina Ahuja, HR Consultant, NCR Canada Ltd
“Working with Yelena at NCR, I was impressed with her professional drive and zeal for learning. Yelena progressed quickly within the organization. Starting as a part-time resource while funding her education, she took on an official internship, was retained as a Sourcer (Talent Discovery) and upon graduation was converted to a full-time Staffing Consultant. She exercised sound judgment and resourcefulness in each role, was given program management responsibility for the corporate employee referral program and managed full-cycle, high-volume recruitment. Yelena continued to volunteer for the local suicide prevention hot-line while balancing her responsibilities at work and applying for admission to a master's program in IO; demonstrating her ability to effectively manage her time, and her versatility. As a complement to these professional dimensions, Yelena is bilingual, an eager adopter of tools and technology, well traveled internationally and performs well even in ambiguity. These elements may easily be transitioned to a number of roles, including consulting, making Yelena a valuable resource to any company.” Laura Hyzer, Recruiter, Google
