# LeaderStat Recruiter Spotlight - Meet Nicole

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

At LeaderStat, we recognize that you are more than your title.

That's why we've started a series called Recruiter Spotlight. This allows our travelers to get to know their recruiters on a more personal level by putting a face to a name.

We'll start with Nicole, Executive Recruiter in our Post-Acute Travelers division, where she focuses on placing [Directors of Nursing](https://www.leaderstat.com/director-of-nursing-job-description), Nursing Home Administrators (NHAs), RN Supervisors, Unit Managers, Certified Dietary Managers and Social Workers and on short-term contracts in skilled nursing/memory care facilities.

Nicole has worked for LeaderStat since 2020. Keep reading to learn more!

## Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I'm from Shelby, Ohio. However, I ended up staying in Columbus after I graduated from Ohio State University. I like going to sporting events. My favorite [Ohio](https://www.leaderstat.com/knowledge-base/things-to-do-in-ohio) teams to watch are Cleveland Guardians, the Ohio State Buckeyes, and the Columbus Blue Jackets. I also enjoy hiking and taking my dog to dog-friendly places (including our office).

## How long have you been a recruiter?

I have been a recruiter for seven years, with experience recruiting for acute care/hospital settings as well as long-term care, which includes Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF), Assisted Living, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC).

## What's your favorite part about your job?

 My favorite thing about recruiting is building relationships with candidates. I especially enjoy when they send me pictures of their travels.

I love hearing about when an [interim leader](https://www.leaderstat.com/interim-leadership/) that I helped to place is a great match for the facility and really makes an impact. I work with so many amazing travelers. Sharing positive messages from our client buildings is another one of my favorite things about my job.

## How was it to be a healthcare recruiter during the COVID-19 pandemic?

 Being a healthcare recruiter during the pandemic was stressful but rewarding. It was impossible to help every single client and I wish we could have. Some of the feedback of gratitude from the clients we could help kept me going during the long hours and weekends spent recruiting during that time.

 

## What advice would you give to interim healthcare leaders who are looking for a contract in long-term care?

 Make sure to ask the contact person at the building* everything *that is important to you when looking for your next travel assignment. I don’t always have all of the information about the ins and outs of the building. I want to make sure everyone feels comfortable with the situation [before accepting a contract](https://www.leaderstat.com/knowledge-base/new-assignment-boost-your-confidence-with-these-tips).

## If you could have any super power, what would it be?

I wish I could teleport to any place that I wanted. I don’t travel well and hate driving when the roads are busy.
