Community, Family, Integrity

I’ve been a recruiter in healthcare and financial services since 2007 and started my own company in 2014. For 15 years prior to that, I was in business development and account management.

My experience has enabled me to develop a true understanding of the importance of matching the whole person with a role that is aligned with their life and their career. When the right candidate is matched with the perfect opportunity – everyone wins!

I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life although my company serves businesses and candidates nationally and globally. Community and family are extremely important to me, along with serving my clients and candidates with integrity.

What kind of recruiter do you want to work with?

What clients are saying

I work with April often to ensure we find appropriate staffing in different areas of the region I work. April is always on top of her game. She consistently communicates the status of a position being offered. She also contacts me as often as I request to ensure that I find the best person for the position I’m hiring. She is a great asset to my region and to our company!

I will honestly say that of the 1000+ national brand relationships I’ve had over my partnership marketing career, only a few rank as high as April when it comes to responsiveness and overall relationship follow-through. I highly recommend working with her.

April takes her job very seriously and is always willing to go that extra mile when necessary. April also has a great personality that lights up the room when she’s in it. Those two items alone are alone, two knock out combination needed in business today.

April was wonderful to work with during all of the recruitment efforts throughout my 5 years at Accretive Health. I was able to observe her build strong networking relationships with candidates and develop a robust college campus recruitment program with many universities across the country. She is organized and thorough in her efforts; her understanding of the business model reflects in the strong candidates she brings in.
