Brooke is my – and the tech industry’s – secret weapon. When I started at Instacart, she was my first call as I looked to build a team from zero to scale in record time. Because she takes the time to understand what a company needs and how an org is actually wired, she finds candidates that compliment and strengthen a team while delivering results. Simply put, she’s the best matchmaker in the industry.

Brooke brings a unique approach to recruiting. From day one, you’ll find that what separates Brooke from others in the industry is that she immerses herself in the needs of your business and team so that she’s not just filling your current role but more importantly anticipating and addressing your future needs as you scale your team. Additionally, she advocates for both the client and candidate throughout the process which creates an alignment that is more likely to deliver a successful long-term outcome while driving material impact for the business. Brooke is my first call when I take on a new role.

KC Partners was a fantastic partner as I built out my communications function from the ground up. They were able to understand what I needed and helped me fill critical roles with hard to find quality candidates. They offered a streamlined and quick process that made me excited to work with them for the long term. In fact, they were so great to work with that I ended up working with them to fill 10 roles with exceptional communications professionals that to this day are amongst the best I’ve ever worked with.
