Show Notes

Search professional Candice Zaniewski is the founder of a specialty recruiting firm that works with companies in several industries, many of which have stayed active or even grown during the changes brought on by Covid-19. Some of these industries include architecture, engineering and manufacturing. She is also active in placing strong candidates in pharmaceutical companies, sales, and other leadership roles.

As a recruiter, Candice is passionate about making sure each stage of the hiring process runs smoothly; however, she stresses the importance of making sure the beginning steps are completed strategically and proactively, as this will often cause the rest of the process to be much easier.

  • Their favorite personality assessments to help candidates pinpoint their strengths and communicate with networking contacts, recruiters and decision makers
