Serving as President and Lead Recruiter of GlassFarm Placement
Services, LLC, Jennifer has been a Technical Recruiter for 4 years. In her first few months, she developed, created,
staffed, trained, and managed a team of Research Assistants. She was then promoted to Technical Recruiter. After being a Top Producer and voted South
Carolina Association of Personnel Services (SCAPS)

She also helped create a computerized
testing and tracking system, working closely with experienced programmer to develop the
actual test questions. She is a member of
several AS/400, DB2 and Systems Programming User and Discussion Groups.
She earned her Certified Personnel
Consultant (CPC) accreditation in 1999. Jennifer
immediately saw the value of being active in the industry and has been on the SCAPS Board of Directors for the past
three years. As 2nd Vice
President, she has planned the semi-annual conferences for the past three years and has
become friends with several nationally recognized trainers.
Jennifer was born and raised in
California. She graduated from the University
of California at Davis with a BA in Russian Studies.
After traveling to 11 countries, including Russia, Lithuania, Latvia,
Estonia, Greece, England and Ireland, she landed in South Carolina, which she now calls
home. She was a volunteer puppy raiser for
Canine Companions for Independence, CCI. She
spent two years raising and training a dog, Guy II, to be an assistance dog for the

for polishing for six months. He didn’t
quite make the cut, but is now a trained therapy dog visiting hospitals and homes
throughout Columbia. She is active in the
local Jewish community, loves lifting weights at the gym, and Latin dancing.
Jennifer’s
style is to get to know someone – to learn about his or her likes and dislikes and
what someone is looking for. She knows that
when you are trying to make a “match” you have to match personality, lifestyle
and management styles, not just skills. The
“soft skills” are just as important the technical skills. Most of her placements come from referrals. Over the years, Jennifer has made many friends of
candidates and clients. She has been invited
to their houses for holidays and has even invited some to her house. Her goal is to get to that level of trust and
respect with as many people as possible. |
