She thrives on finding her clients top-tier candidates for contract opportunities, contract-to-hire onboarding and permanent placements.

Claire began her recruiting career in 2014 with a small IT recruiting company where she quickly became the go-to “technical” recruiter for her clients as well as assisted her colleagues in navigating a complex industry. While there, she placed leading IT talent in a wide range of positions and was highly successful in matching individuals to great opportunities. Claire’s IT recruiting experience spans a broad range of needs including management, software engineers and web developers, network and security engineers, system administrators and everything in between.

With a Master of Education from Antioch New England Graduate School and a B.A. in Literature from the University of Houston, Claire began her career as a teacher with a strong focus on alternative education and the creative arts. She taught elementary school and helped develop one of the only “Waldorf” schools in the Houston area, recruiting families and teachers as well as creating the curriculum. Soon after having her own children she realized she needed more adult interaction and quickly found a true passion in recruiting. She spends her free time with her husband, a software developer, and their two children.
