Danielle found her way to Talent Wave after reconnecting with Emily Schlotman, someone she had worked with early in her career and always loved working alongside. Knowing how Emily approached business, relationships, and recruiting, when Danielle saw what she was helping build at Talent Wave, it didn’t take much convincing—she wanted in. As a Senior Talent Partner on the contract staffing team, Danielle spends most of her time in the IT and technical world. That said, give her a niche or hard-to-fill role and she’s probably going to want to take a swing at it. With about eight years in agency recruiting across both individual contributor and leadership roles, some of her favorite work has centered around building recruiting programs, strengthening recruiter/AE partnerships, and helping newer recruiters learn the ropes and find their own style. Outside of work, there’s a good chance Danielle is golfing, attempting a new recipe (Asian cuisines are the latest obsession), or hanging out with her pup, Koda, with a movie or true crime documentary on. She’s also a very committed early riser—which is great for productivity and significantly less great for anyone trying to make late-night plans with her.
