Vice President
Nick on Nick. I am born and raised out of Worcester, MA. I am a full blooded Italian with a passion for music. My recruiting journey began in 2003, and has been with me ever since!
Why recruiting? I enjoy talking and listening to people, with different goals and objectives. I like giving insight to those goals and objectives that hopefully impact the direction of their career.
If I wasn’t recruiting, I‘d be… a famous musician!
You should know that… I have been playing music since I was 10, mainly guitar. I was in a rock band for 10 years in which I was the lead singer and played guitar.
A few of my favorites: Song – “Milk it” by Nirvana; Book – Each Step is the Journey by Patricia Klinck; Movie – Indiana Jones; Sports Team – Growing up, Detroit Lions and Chicago Bulls. Now, New England Patriots.
You can quote me: “And then I heard the chords that broke the chains I had upon me” – Rivers Cuomo
After hours: spending time with my family, laughing with friends, songwriting
In 10 years, I’ll be: With Masis of course! Enjoying my family as it grows, exploring new passions such as Property Management and continuing to song write!

Jodi Ingerson
MPG Talent Search Engineer
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
In 10 years, I’ll be: I don’t know what my life will be like tomorrow. I am just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

Annie Moore
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.

Recruiting Manager
Pat on Pat. I’ve had a great time living in cities as different as Austin to Dallas to Boston. And now I’m home again in upstate New York. Go Bills!
Why recruiting? It doesn’t feel like a job – it feels like a passion. Finding the ideal person for the right organization can be a daunting task – that’s where I get to add value.
If I wasn’t recruiting, I’d be… a helicopter pilot. And an architect.
You can quote me. “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
After hours: anywhere outdoors — hiking, skiing, canoeing
In ten years I’ll be… living in a house I designed, in the woods, on a lake. With my helicopter parked out back.

About yourself: I grew up primarily in Western New York, spending a couple years living in New England. I consider myself to be well organized, sincere, and humble. I currently reside in Buffalo, New York with my wife and our dog, Pete.
Fun Facts: I married out of my league! Growing up I played a ton of sports, hockey being my favorite. I can safely say it’s the one constant I’ve had my entire life. After playing in college, I coached, worked in the business, and currently referee NCAA and youth hockey. I can drive a Zamboni blind folded.
Why I love Recruiting: Out of college I was given the opportunity to become a Recruiter. It was a career I had never really been aware of. I quickly found myself sincerely enjoying talking to people from all over while being the liaison between the employer and job seeker. It is truly rewarding when you help a candidate find a new career opportunity and in turn, fulfill the clients’ staffing needs.
