About Jane McKenna

I understand firsthand the challenges and fears of a job search. More than a decade ago, I took the leap from working as an accountant to recruiting accountants. Today, I enjoy recruiting across professional services, specializing in creative and media roles. My caring nature and analytical expertise allow me to understand candidates’ needs and desires as I guides them through the job search in a supportive, consultative manner.I enjoy skiing in the winter, discovering delicious small-batch Cabernets and being a mother to twins.I celebrate New York Yankee wins, cannot get enough of summer Sundays in the backyard, and thoroughly enjoy meeting inquisitive, passionate people and having the privilege of helping them in their professional journey.
