meet your recruiter

Karen Surgent

With over two decades as a dedicated recruiter, I specialize in helping hiring managers and in-house recruiters secure top talent in digital media, marketing, and advertising. My mission is simple: to make the hiring process as seamless and rewarding as possible for both clients and candidates. By offering a true white-glove experience, I maintain a carefully selected client base, allowing me to devote the focused attention and care each talent need deserves.

​

My career journey began at BBDO New York, where I gained firsthand experience in what it takes to thrive within a fast-paced, global agency environment. This invaluable foundation, paired with years of successfully connecting the right people to the right roles, has earned me the trust of clients and candidates alike—from established industry leaders to up-and-coming innovators.

​

Beyond work, I’m a proud mom of two Hokies and wife to a talented custom home builder. I’m also an unapologetic coffee enthusiast, convinced that some of the best ideas (and connections) begin over a great cup. Whether I’m matchmaking careers or friendships, my passion lies in helping people discover the perfect fit. It’s more than just what I do—it’s what I love.
