Testimonials
Over the years, I have had the absolute pleasure of working with extremely talented individuals in two different capacities. 1. Supporting Hiring Managers and Executive teams in finding the best talent for high impact positions within the organization and 2. Working with extremely smart Candidates who were looking to work for an organization that fulfilled everything they were looking for. Whether that was career development opportunities, working on challenging projects, a product and mission they believed or relocating to our amazing country to start a family and a new life.
What fulfills me the most is helping talented people land their dream company and position as well as help educate and guide organizations on the importance of building scalable solutions to attract, hire and retain top talent.

“In my 13+ years of experience in the technology industry, Tonia is by far the most results-driven and effective talent acquisition professional I’ve ever partnered with. Her drive and passion for her work are unmatched. The depth of her knowledge is remarkable - I have found support in putting together job descriptions, structuring interview questions and outlining entire hiring processes end-to-end. But this is just the beginning. She is a master of candidate-management tools. This allows me as a hiring manager to have a consistent, smooth and professional process in managing the inflow of candidates, managing rejections, advancing forward in the interview process etc. Tonia’s frameworks allow me to get to the outcomes I am after quickly and with minimal waste. Beyond that, Tonia is outstanding in finding and attracting the most qualified candidates for the role - her network of professional contacts and her sourcing channels are extensive. In addition, Tonia has driven forward programs such as employer branding and awareness, as well as retention initiatives so that top talent remains at the company for years to come. And last but definitely not least - Tonia is a teacher, a mentor. She strives to constantly help those around her in performing at their best and growing their proficiency when it comes to any aspect of the hiring processes.
