KeenHire is here for you and because of you!
After 25 years in the recruitment and staffing industry I came to realize that as an industry we were not providing strategic value to our clients. In some cases yes, however mostly we were a necessary evil. I began to learn from key executives, business owners and transformational empowerment coaches what companies needed and wanted in human capital solutions, and saw that for the most part there was not a company servicing the small and middle market that delivered these critical solutions. I made my mind up that I would build an enterprise focused on generating Talent Management systems, methodology and tools that make impact. At first people thought I was insane to give up the comfortable, long term career success that I experienced in recruitment, even my kids were scratching their heads. Now that they are seeing and experiencing my passion, and the companies success the support is overflowing. I am excited to be moving forward in my 40`s with a new company, a huge mission and a legacy to leave. I look forward to working together,
Margaret Graziano, President/CEO
