Meet Rikka Brandon
OUR FOUNDER & CEO
Hey, I’m Rikka Brandon. I started Recruiting in 2001 and over the last 20 years I’ve made over 600 placements with a less than 1% replacement rate. I’m wired to recruit - I love the challenge of finding what motivates a person and getting them to the YES!
I was born to be an entrepreneur - challenge, change, chaos and excitement. I live for it! ( I’m a bit of a freak of nature. I’ll admit it!) I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs move from 60+ hour work weeks to owning a profitable business ( that you actually like!) through people!
I’m the go-to girl for growth- minded entrepreneurs and leaders who want to hire the right people to catapult their way to profit, legacy and freedom!
Hiring is a four letter word to most entrepreneurs. I intend to change that. I’m here to make it easy. Knowing when to hire and HOW to hire can be the difference between success and failure. Joy and misery.
Know better. Hire better. Every Time. Let’s do this.
