John Owen, Software Quality Engineering Manager, NIKE (Hiring Manager/Client)

• “I had the luxury of working with Cassie at Nike. As a hiring manager I’ve worked with a number of recruiters over the years, and Cassie is exceptional. Cassie took the reins and led the way through the recruiting and hiring process with clarity and efficiency, communicating consistently throughout the hiring cycle. She had a degree of mastery over the tool sets and processes we used to hire, helping me get to the offer stage on exceptional candidates. I would gladly work with Cassie again! Thank you, Cassie, for your exceptional service!”

Michael LeValle, Software Engineering Manager, Enterprise Data & AI; North America (Hiring Manager/Client)

• “Cassie provided exceptional white glove service to Nike technology teams through many recruiting cycles. In one instance, it got challenging as there was a transition in our HR platform and processes. Cassie would not let us fail. She went above and beyond to navigate the process through every challenge. Cassie demonstrates the perfect level of persistence and understanding as she hand holds the team, when required, through each recruiting cycle. The result is always success when Cassie is leading the way. Thanks, Cassie, for the support, inspiration and the successful outcomes!”

Eric Schubert, Senior Director, Reliability Engineering, NIKE (Hiring Manager/Client)

• “I had the pleasure of working with Cassie at Nike. She displayed all the skills I expect from a technical recruiter - ones that often are missing! She was constant in her communication, creative in her approach, found candidates who were not direct applicants, and helped both me and the candidates through the process with energy and empathy. I would gladly work with Cassie again; she would be a fantastic fit in any organization. ”

Meeiling Bradley, North America Supply Chain Operations and Logistics Analytics Engineering Manager, NIKE (Hiring Manager/Client)

• “I had the pleasure of working with Cassie when hiring for multiple positions. Cassie was efficient, productive, and produced great results! Her abilities to screen and identify the good candidates, facilitate the process, communicate and align expectations between hiring manager and candidates resulted in successful recruiting and onboarding outcomes. She is caring and personable which are important characteristics during the recruiting process. Cassie, thank-you for your contributions to my hiring success. I would not hesitate to collaborate with you again in the future!”

Shannon Bayon, Talent Acquisition Manager, Global Technology (Indirect Nike Manager)

• “Cassie is one of a kind! We worked together on the Nike Technology recruiting team. She is a curious learner, always willing to dive in wherever the help is needed, and goes above and beyond with anything she touches. Cassie is someone you can count on to get the job done with fearless delivery. Any company will be so lucky to get her and I hope I get the chance to work with her again!”

Sheridan Hall, Talent Acquisition Manager, Global Technology (Indirect Nike Manager)

• “I was lucky to be a teammate of Cassie's here at Nike. Her work was highly regarded, I was impressed with her attention to detail, craftsmanship, and recruiting ability. Cassie made significant contributions to the TA team here at Nike and was a pleasure to work with."

DJ Brown, Senior Technical Sourcer, NIKE (Talent Sourcing Partner)

• “Cassie is one of those rare partners that a Sourcer gets every once in awhile (if they are lucky). The recruiting partner who knows how to manage a client and deliver on her promises, cares deeply about the candidate experience, over-communicates with cross functional partners, and doesn't stop working until she crosses the finish line. I have had the pleasure of partnering with Cassie on a plethora of roles for the past 2 years and would relish in the opportunity to partner with her for 10 more. Talent acquisition is a unique blend of science and art; Cassie embodies them both at the highest level. She is an asset to any company who needs the best talent the market has to offer.”

Luke Younggren, Talent Acquisition Manager, Global Technology, NIKE (Direct Nike Manager)

• “Cassie is bar none one of the best recruiters I've had the opportunity to work with. She is a consummate professional who works tirelessly to elevate her craft while consistently making those around her better through knowledge sharing and process improvement. Cassie is exceptionally organized, driven to succeed at the highest level, and has an innate ability to drive partnerships with her hiring leaders in an efficient, data driven manner. During the two years she reported to me at Nike, Cassie lead our Global Technology team in hiring metrics, including time to hire and positions filled - not only that, the quality of her hires was through the roof. I would hire Cassie in a heartbeat to any Senior or Lead recruiter role and cannot wait for the chance to work with her again.”

Alex Kachlik, Director, Unified Endpoint Engineering & Mobile RE, NIKE (Hiring Manager/Client)

• “I had the pleasure of working with Cassie on four different senior engineering roles over the course of a year. Cassie is a strong communicator, clearly laid out the process, provided recommendations and expertise. Cassie did everything she could to make the process quick, efficient, and result in great candidates. There were significant changes in the systems and process for the last role. Cassie took the time to provide training materials and walk me through changes from the previous process. I find her to be outcome driven, she strives to be an expert in the process and systems of enterprise hiring. She sought feedback about the process and worked to address concerns I had. I'm rooting for you to convert and stay at Nike long term Cassie! I know that you'll provide value and positive attitude at any company you land at! It's been a pleasure working with you!”

Keir Wark, Lead Technical Recruiter, NIKE (Peer)

• “I had the opportunity to work closely with Cassie on some large recruiting projects at Nike, as well as attend the larger TA team calls with her. Cassie is the most detail oriented recruiter I have ever met. She is the queen of dotting all her i's and crossing all her t's. She thinks proactively, she has great ideas to improve processes, she's a very hard worker and she's also the kindest and most genuine person. If you are seeking a new recruiter for your team, I highly recommend Cassie!”

Gregg Daub, Lead Technical Recruiter, NIKE (Peer)

• “Cassie is a talented, dedicated, detail-oriented Technical Recruiter that any team would be lucky to have. We have worked together at Nike going on 2 years and I have always found her to be excellent at her craft. In addition to her recruiting prowess, she's great with creating and defining workflows and related processes. Cassie learns systems and processes quickly, is a solid source of information, and has the ability to get to the root of the issue at hand. She effectively participated on and led teams of her peers on project-oriented work and delivered outstanding results. She also trained and mentored multiple newer recruiters on our team. And Cassie is a teammate that I enjoy working with - frankly, she's fun to be around. I HIGHLY endorse Cassie and she has my strongest recommendation!”
