Jodi on Jodi: I have approximately 20 years’ experience in the staffing industry comprised of both temporary and direct hire placement. In 2009 I segued into the Pharmaceutical/Life Sciences space and it’s my absolute favorite space to work in. It’s very rewarding for me when a client is thrilled with the candidate I found for them and the candidate is overjoyed with their new position.
Why recruiting? The “thrill of the hunt!” My Dad loved to fish and my siblings and I grew up doing a lot of fishing. I remember how exciting it was feeling that tug on my line and then reeling a fish in! It’s kind of the same with recruiting. I feel that recruiting really suits me because it closely parallels my greatest passion in the spiritual. Jesus said, “follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 😊
If I wasn’t recruiting: I’d be… A street preacher
After hours: I love reading my Bible, praying, worshipping, outreach, laughing, biking, hiking, mountain climbing

About Yourself: Born and raised in West Springfield, I have been a Massachusetts resident my entire life. I graduated from West Springfield High School in 2016, and I went on to graduate from Western New England University in 2020. In my spare time you can find me either locked away in a recording studio, or enjoying some fresh air on a hike!
Why You Love Recruiting: Recruiting involves one of my favorite things to do – building relationships! I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and helping others find success in their own regard, both of which recruiting allows me to do on a daily basis.
Fun Fact: I was a competitive swimmer for over a decade, competing at both the local and state level. I was a part of two relay teams that broke records at my high school, and I helped our team qualify for the state level competition each of the four years that I was in school.

MPG Talent Search Engineer
Annie on Annie. I’m passionate about recruiting, even though I never thought I would be in staffing! I’ve had many years of experience as a generalist, but my specialty is identifying top talent for sales, finance, administrative and accounting roles.
Why recruiting? The harder to fill, the better. Bring it on. I love the challenge of finding the right candidate for tough to fill orders. And I enjoy helping candidates find a position they love. Helping companies grow by creating trusted working partnerships with their employees – yeah, that’s kind of my thing.
If I wasn’t recruiting I’d be… A toy game inventor. Yes, really.
You can quote me: “Never miss an opportunity to do the right thing!”
After hours: Spending time with family and friends, traveling, shopping.
In ten years, I’ll be… Still with family and friends, traveling and shopping. Also, doing charity work. Also, lying on a beach. Maybe I can do charity work from the beach. Probably not.

About yourself: I grew up in New Jersey (Newark & Edison) with a brief stint in the Poconos and then off to college in Pittsburgh. I recently returned to NJ and so happy to back. I have three adult children who are following their career dreams. Before my staffing journey, I worked in the Insurance industry and still maintain all my licenses.
Why you Love Recruiting: I started my staffing journey 26 years ago building offices from scratch, finding clients and candidates the old fashion way. This gave me an opportunity to play matchmaker every day. Someone once told me “You’re the only person I know that loves their job”. I’m not sure I’m the only person that loves their job, but twenty-six years later and I do know Mondays are still a great day.
Fun Facts: I was at one time a paraprofessional tutor for children with Dyslexia at a school my mom had started. Every weekend throughout high school and a summer while home from college, I volunteered teaching various subjects. LOVED those major breakthroughs such as seeing a child with dyslexia and other special needs being able to write their own name.

Favorite thing to do when you are NOT recruiting: I love antiquing and consignment shopping. You can’t beat the quality or the love that has gone into good old furniture. When I am not doing that, I enjoy listening to bands along the shore town venues where I live. Music is sooooo good for the soul.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years: I try to stay present daily but seeing myself enjoying a villa in Italy or a cottage in Ireland, would be fabulous.
