  • Ann and I worked together when we brought her on to help with staffing and a company handbook. Our company (The Graphite Lab) was trying to grow and having trouble both finding skilled candidates and fielding/interviewing applicants. I think none of us realized what skills this really took. Ann took the bull by the horns and found fabulous applicants, parsing through and interviewing dozens (maybe 100s) and saving our team a ton of time. Ann is fabulous and a great asset.
