What People Are Saying
“Raven has the remarkable ability to not only ask the right questions but to get candidates to think deeply about their experiences and priorities. As someone who went through the recruitment process, I was not only grateful to have been selected, I was a better leader from the experience. Raven saw in me, what I had not yet seen. I have since worked diligently to meet her expectations and do the same for others in and out of my organization.
Raven’s expertise in recruitment is a strategy in change management. She works deeply through various interview techniques to make sure the applicants’ experiences and attributes are deeply aligned with the values and priorities of the organization. Raven is fiercely committed to growing the strength of a system through high quality, diverse, and equity-driven employees.”

“Many individuals miss the word ‘human’ in Human Capital Management. Raven brings compassion, empathy AND expertise to the work. Unpacking an individuals true capacities, lived experiences and skills brings both the best and most qualified to an organization.
This type of cultivation and support takes not only time, but immense skill to ensure that people are able to see themselves and potential opportunities with high levels of interest and excitement.
Raven takes candidates on a journey of self-discovery allowing them to approach a role as more than just a title change or new job, but as an opportunity to unpack their leadership, discover new passions and articulate their growth journey as a value add to an organization.
Raven transformed the way I see myself as a leader and I will continue to leverage her expertise as I navigate short term and long term career decisions.”

“
Raven is in the top 5% of professionals I’ve worked with in my entire career. She brings a unique blend of deep recruitment expertise, a passion for and focus on advancing DEI, incredibly high standards of excellence, and the personal drive and work ethic to get RESULTS.
At The Broad Academy Raven was tasked with recruiting C-level executives in k-12 public education. Going from a team of three full-time recruiters with a combined recruitment goal of 20 Fellows, to a team of just Raven, she was able to recruit 24 Academy Fellows on her own! To see her do the work of what previously took 3 people to do was extremely impressive.
On top of that, Raven exceeded the ambitious diversity goals we set by recruiting 71% senior leaders of color, including 33% African-American and over 20% Latinx leaders.
Prior to Raven joining the team three years ago, only a little more than 1/3 of the cohort were leaders of color. Her achievement of doubling the cohort diversity was accomplished through her passion, her belief in the incredible potential and power of leaders and her grounded focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
