tina@thespectrumsolution.com

Tina started Spectrum Recruiting Solutions in 2018 after serving 17 years in the Talent Acquisition industry. Doing the math, that is over 22 years in the Recruiting world!  A professional sabbatical and personal desire to travel helped to provide the mental space she needed to create her vision of the ideal Talent Acquisition Firm. She and her entire family spent a full year traveling across the United States in a Winnebago, on purpose.  She fulfilled her soul as well as her contractual non-compete agreement. With sheer determination and a dream, she built a successful recruiting, consulting & outplacement company that is thriving today. Amongst historic levels of economic uncertainty and geopolitical turmoil, she began a recruiting revolution!  Anyway, to know Tina is to love her immediately, personally and professionally. Step into the ring (or just chat) with Tina for 30 seconds and you’ll want her in your corner. And she’ll always be there. She is a goal-setting, go-getting, open-minded, down-to-earth, lighthouse of hope and a wellspring of knowledge.  “T” is eternally Generous, Genuine, Warm, Approachable, Respectful, Trusting, Hopeful, Calm, Cool, and Collected (capital letters intended). When she’s not putting her blood, sweat, and tears into Spectrum, she is active in the community fighting for gender pay equality and managing her family's annual "Backpack Project" which provides basic necessities to underprivileged kids within our community. Somehow Tina still finds time to continue exploring her soul and her world, traveling, hiking, biking, teaching yoga, and living life to the absolute fullest with her AMAZING family. Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.

carly@thespectrumsolution.com

Carly has been with Spectrum from the very beginning, helping kickstart the company with her seemingly endless energy and indomitable drive. In life as in business, Carly's feverish enthusiasm fuels her fire to get to the next level. This is a woman who has been described as ELEVENACIOUS because TENACIOUS wasn't enough! Her dedication to success and lust for life are so contagious she has infected all of us at Spectrum as well as her entire family (poor things). C is grounded only by gravity and bound only by her commitment, integrity and honesty. Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.

brady@thespectrumsolution.com

Brady is a quick-witted creator and imaginative ink slinger! His creativity is endless and it shows. Brady regularly transforms mundane marketing material and dull job descriptions into clever, fact-filled, funny mastery. It’s not common to learn so much about music, movies and the English language through engineering job posts and descriptions. He truly has a way with words which comes in handy as the only male in the company (no easy task)! Genuine, generous and generally well-intentioned, Brady is a colleague and comrade that everyone wants on their side. When he’s not wordsmithing wherever there’s wifi, he can be found camping, canoeing, backpacking, biking, fishing, frolicking, snowboarding, snorkeling, golfing or gardening. Whatever the weather, Brady is happiest outdoors with his family, dogs, good music and a cold one. B is for BADASS. Drop him a line or connect with him on LinkedIn.

kristin@thespectrumsolution.com

Kristin is an experienced industry expert whose vision, drive and creativity have led to innovation and success at Spectrum and throughout her career. She is thorough, precise and methodical in her approach to crushing goals at work and at home. Don't let her prudent professionalism fool you, K is clever, lighthearted, funny and fun to be around (she barely even embarrasses her teenage children). This multilingual maven is fluent in the languages of English, Engineering and Human Resources. Perhaps the most impressive thing about Kristin is that she has accomplished so much, all while battling a crippling addiction that would destroy a lesser person.

lexi@thespectrumsolution.com

Our resident support system and Utah County conspirator joined Spectrum a couple years  ago. Her analytical awesomeness and intelligent insights have led to a deeper understanding of how our company, candidates and clients are all connected. Level-headed Lexi keeps the team grounded, sorted out and in-the-know. When she's not busy burning the midnight oil for Spectrum she can be found knocking out a dozen or so home projects at a time, flipping flies on the river or providing blankets to refugee children through her own HEARTS TIED TOGETHER refugee relief project (one example of her kindness and authenticity). L also enjoys fostering vegetables for baby food and spoiling her awww-inspiring canine family. If you don't get heart eyes when you see her dog, check your eye pulse. Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.

kimberly@thespectrumsolution.com

Known for impeccable timing, Kimberly left a lucrative, noble, non-profit career in early 2020 to join Spectrum. Commitment, compassion and (apparently) commission are what drive Kim. She is a perpetually positive, progressive, problem-solver. Adventurous, generous, easy-going, and joyful, she’s like a walking, talking smiley face emoji.  It’s borderline obnoxious. She even plays music and has a naturally beautiful singing voice. Like a zealous politician posing on the campaign trail, K2 is never afraid to roll up her sleeves, dive in, get her hands dirty and kiss a few babies on the road to victory. Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.

lgallegos@thespectrumsolution.com

What a hand we’ve been dealt with Lexi G! She is a queen, a crackerjack and a jill-of-all-trades, with an ace in the hole and talent in spades. She’s been in the HR game since the flop, a friend of the Spectrum family since the turn and now she’s here to help us navigate the river that is recruiting. Better than four-of-a-kind, she’s a one-of-a-kind straight shooter who’s quick on the draw and always plays aboveboard. She’ll ante up, call your bluff and keep a straight face while she rakes your chips in. A happy wife with a happy life, L2 is always holding a full house. Raising four kids, two snakes and a French Batdog, she can clearly handle it all. And, as our new Office Manager, that’s all we’re asking of her! Welcome to the crew, Lexi Lou! Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.

aubrey.lee@thespectrumsolution.com

We’re so excited and we just can’t hide it, Aubrey's about to take control (of whatever we throw at her) and we think we like it! She’s been suffering fools for far too long in the service industry and now she’s ready to play business. A is a fiercely loyal friend and ferociously hard worker. In spite of her undeniable coolness, she actually enjoys spending time with her entire family, especially her sisters, with whom she shares a special bond (and essentially the same face). Aubs obvs loves all things outdoorsy and can rough it with the toughest of ‘em. She is not to be underestimated and her kindness cannot be overstated. She’s a genuine human who genuinely loves genuine humans. Schadenfreude isn’t even in her vocabulary. Although, if you’re trying to kick something and fall down Charlie Brown style (and you happen to look like Charlie Brown), she’s gonna laugh. Welcome to the team, Aubrey! Cheers to future adventures in recreation and recruiting. Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.

jena.mccord@thespectrumsolution.com

The Spectrum Squad is growing… Stronger! Please welcome Jena McCord, our new engineering and manufacturing administrative extraordinaire! Jena is alarmingly charming and disarming, with a sympathetic smile and kindness for miles. Driven by a superhuman work ethic, she always keeps her sparkling eyes on the prize. When she’s not overseeing business operations, she’s training, supervising and spoiling a small crew of Drews. One, a hunky husband and dedicated dad, the other, a precocious and impossibly adorable six-year-old baby girl. Native to Utah, Jena, the Drews and their darling doggos are naturally drawn to the outdoors where they can be found hiking, camping, boating, snowboarding and more, year-round. J comes to us after several years putting her heart and soul into the American Heart Association, where she did it all as Operations Manager. Her adaptability, business acumen and keen eye for quality will certainly come in handy as she transitions into the world of talent acquisition. Jena’s attention to detail is so high, it’s been called an attwelvetion. She doesn’t misspell words; the dictionary makes adjustments. She doesn’t dial wrong numbers; you pick up the wrong phone. Not only thorough, but exceptionally efficient, she can watch an episode of 60 Minutes in half an hour, while cooking minute rice (in thirty seconds). Fast, fastidious, fickle and finicky are only a few of the F words best used to describe Jena... She’s also fun, funny, fabulous and a true FRIEND. Welcome to the team, J! Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.

teri.stowe@thespectrumsolution.com

Our team is expanding and so is our reach! Please welcome our Washington state connection, Teri Stowe! Teri currently resides in Moses Lake, has lived throughout the western United States and plans to one day find her forever home in Kalispell, Montana. If you’ve ever been there, you know why! She is a yoga enthusiast, keen marathon runner and avid home baker, all of which will come in handy in her new role with Spectrum. How’s that? Thanks for asking! She’s centered and flexible; quick on her feet and in it for the long run; she’s got all the right ingredients and can stand the heat when others have to leave the kitchen. She’s humble as a lamb, hungry like the wolf and smart enough to know when to be which. Now, I’m not saying she’s a gold digger, but Teri did marry Rich... Please don’t call him Richard or Dick. Rick and Terry have five wonderful children and one and a half dogs. The one, a 130 lb. beast of a Bulldog, the half, an 8 lb. toy of a poodle. The Stowes and their lil’ stowaways enjoy traveling, hiking, skiing and any combination of the three they can make time for. Teri is a phenomenal friend, fiercely loyal wife and fearlessly faithful family woman whom we are more than fortunate to have on board. Welcome to the crew, T2! Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.

michelle.cisneros@thespectrumsolution.com

To say Michelle is a friend of Spectrum is an understatement! She has been an advocate, confidant, coconspirator, and sometimes employee since the beginning and we are overjoyed to announce her return! With loads of experience in HR and preternatural interpersonal skills, we are certain this long-time friend, first-time recruiter has what it will take to pay the bills! Michelle is like a human personality test: If you meet her and don’t get along with her, there’s definitely something wrong with you. Seek help. She’s an ardent outdoorswoman who enjoys camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, and more with her husband of 30 years, Marcus, and their criminally cute furchildren, Dash and Violet. Also an avid runner, she has been part of the Huntsman Heroes Running Team, volunteering and fundraising to support cancer research for more than 15 years. When it’s time to unwind, Michelle and Marcus can be found traveling, trying their luck in Las Vegas or quaffing a cold one at a local brewery. They believe life is too precious to be wasted and too short to waste on bad beer. Michelle is a helpful, hopeful, humble humanitarian and a passionate professional and we are truly charmed to have her on our side. Welcome home, MC! Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.

dave@thespectrumsolution.com

Here we grow again! We are delighted to introduce the newest member of Spectrum, Dave Jimenez! Dave brings endless energy, dogged determination, and more than a decade of experience to our team and we are already feeling the positivity of his presence! In the recruiting world, he is known as DJ Reqz-N-Effectz because he handles job requisitions so effectively.* Born in Southern California, surfing is in Dave’s blood, the beach in his bones, and Disney in his DNA. Lucky for him he has two little princesses as an excuse to visit the Magic Kingdom (entirely too often). His love for professional matchmaking is matched only by his love for family, which is overshadowed only by his dedication to the Philadelphia Eagles. But seriously, Dave is a family man through and through. A doting daddy who stays busy bolstering his daughters’ dance dreams and a loving husband who supports his wife through her own recruiting nightmares. The two have been in the talent acquisition game for nearly as long as they’ve been married, so they’ve certainly ridden their fair share of actual and emotional rollercoasters together over the years. We are incredibly grateful Dave is jumping on this ride with us and we’re confident that the highs will outnumber the lows. Welcome aboard and buckle up! Drop him a line or connect with him on LinkedIn.

quinn@thespectrumsolution.com

I mean, I guess 20+ years of professional recruiting experience will come in handy as Quinn joins our squad but far more important are his years of experience as a fisherman. You see, fishing, like recruiting, requires the focus of a surgeon, the determination of a sherpa, and the patience of a saint. A good trout hunter, like a good headhunter, has spent significant amounts of time, money, and effort curating their tackle box to include all the necessary tools of the trade. Serious piscators spend years refining their methods and honing their techniques to skillfully adapt to changing weather and water conditions. In our business, we are forever adapting to the ever-changing economic climate and job market conditions. Quinn has spent hours tying custom flies; each one meticulously crafted for a specific place, time, even a certain species of fish. It’s a lot like preparing candidates for particular positions; with resume tailoring, interview preparation, and presentation to hiring managers (who can be as fickle as a brook trout in full sun). In angling, as in talent acquisition, timing is everything. As we expand our business, the time is perfect to snag Quinn and pull him on board. Welcome to the crew, Q! Drop him a line or connect with him on LinkedIn.

amie@thespectrumsolution.com

Recruiting is a terribly humbling profession. The ups and downs are wildly dramatic. Candidates and clients can be pretty dramatic too. One must remain level-headed and open-minded at all times to thrive. Perspective is essential to survival. If you get too cocky or “too cool for school” you are certain to be shot down. Enter Amie Jensen. She’s never been cocky nor too cool for anything so she’ll fit right in around here! I kid, of course. Amie is actually super hip and doesn’t like uncool things at all. The exceptions being her two favorite nerds; bright, beautiful fiancé, Cori and their darling daughter Salem. And her collection of 400+ PEZ dispensers. And a Simpsons obsession. Oh, and comic books. She’s an avid reader and a bit of a cat lady. And she loves Star Trek… But otherwise, she is cool as a cucumber in a leather jacket and shades. When not spending time at home with the fam, she can be found hiking, running, shooting hoops, skateboarding, snowboarding, and sketching. Many people don’t know, Amie is an amazingly gifted artist! She’s also a genuinely kind and caring individual and we’re lucky to have her in our world and on our side. Drop her a line or connect with her on LinkedIn.
