Her Interview

Ten minutes with Whitney

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to genuinely caring about the people I work with and wanting to help. There's nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a customer succeed and knowing our team made a difference. When a customer tells us we've helped make their job easier or that they appreciate what we've done, that's what motivates me.

I also believe my background has played a big role in my success. I started my career in staffing on the operations side before moving into sales, which gave me a strong understanding of the entire staffing process. I truly enjoy what I do, and I think that passion, along with my experience, has helped me better understand my customers' challenges and work with my team to find solutions that truly fit their needs.

I aways take time to listen, ask questions, and truly understand the people and businesses I work with. Every customer and every operation is different, and I believe that understanding their unique needs is one of the best ways to build trust and long-term partnerships.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

The best career advice I've received is to do what you say you're going to do. It sounds simple, but people remember when you follow through. Building trust starts with keeping your word, and that's something I've tried to carry with me throughout my career.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Asking questions is one of the best ways to learn and grow. Also, don't feel like you have to fit the typical idea of what a salesperson should be. Be yourself, build genuine relationships, and focus on helping people. When people know they can trust you, everything else tends to fall into place.

04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

One of the biggest challenges in staffing right now is finding and retaining qualified talent. There are a lot of opportunities out there, and with unemployment being so low, experienced candidates have more options than ever. At the same time, the cost of living continues to rise, so many people are looking for higher-paying jobs. In staffing our job is to understand both the employer's needs and the candidate's goals so we can find the right fit for everyone involved.

05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

The values that are most important to me are honesty, integrity, and kindness. I believe in treating people with respect, doing what I say I'm going to do, and always trying to do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

I also believe you can be successful without sacrificing kindness. Building genuine relationships, earning people's trust, and helping others are what motivate me every day. Whether it's at work or in my personal life, I want people to know they can count on me and that I'll always do my best to support them.
