PERSPECTIVES

"Karen at Spark Talent not only excels at the nuts-and-bolts aspect of staff sourcing and hiring, but also shows compassion and grace to each stage of a difficult process - a skill that is often ignored and woefully undervalued. Karen is a true professional, bringing value to an organizational through her skill-set and knowledge and also through her genuine empathy and understanding for the human side of the process."

Mark Schwartz

Chief Marketing Officer
