Dog lover. Swiftie. Recruiter.
Karen joined Elias Recruitment in June 2024, and from day one, it was clear what kept her hooked: the people. She thrives in fast-paced, high-performing environments where motivation runs high and support runs deep – exactly the kind of team she found at Elias. Surrounded by driven, collaborative, and genuinely kind colleagues, Karen is right where she belongs.
Describe your role at Elias in one sentence:
“A juggler of dreams, connector of people, and occasional office DJ (only if you like Taylor Swift).”
Most rewarding part of the job?
“That feeling when someone lands their dream job and you know you played a part in changing their life. One standout moment was my very first placement – an Operations Manager with no direct experience but big dreams. We’ve stayed friends ever since.”
Dinner party of dreams?
“If I could invite three people to dinner, I would choose Taylor Swift, Chris Martin, and Donald Trump. I’ve got my reasons and it would certainly be an unforgettable night.”
Go-to piece of advice (that’s easier said than done):
“Don’t be too hard on yourself.”
Walk-in song:
“Depends on the mood, but if you hear Taylor Swift playing, chances are I have just walked into the meeting room.”
If not in recruitment?
“I’d be off saving furry friends at a dog rescue. That’s my retirement plan.”
Whether it’s placing people in the perfect role, making everyone feel welcome, or plotting out her dog rescue dreams, Karen brings energy, empathy, and a great soundtrack to everything she does. We love what you do, Karen.
