Meet the Team: Kelly Richardson

Hi there! I’m Kelly, and I’m a Recruiting Associate at Roessel Joy. I’m originally from Sandwich, Massachusetts, but have lived all over the country at various points in my life. I was in hospitality for many years before I started recruiting and ended up becoming a certified sommelier when I was living in Los Angeles, California. Unfortunately, the pandemic turned my life upside down. As much as I miss explaining the difference between champagne and sparkling wine, I love recruiting at Roessel Joy.

What is your role here at Roessel Joy?

I am a recruiting associate at Roessel Joy Staffing. I help people get jobs, no matter what the economy looks like!

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

The most rewarding part of my job is getting to speak with a wide range of people. I love people and I love hearing their stories. The more people I can talk to, the happier I am. And if I can get those people a job to better their life? That’s the good stuff.

Why do you like working at Roessel Joy?

I like everything about working at Roessel Joy so far. I enjoy the work that I do and how it is different every single day. I've loved getting to know and connect with every single person at work, all the way from the cool managing partners to the amazing interns. I know coming to work, I am going to not only work hard but have a wonderful time. It’s been a blessing.

What values drive and motivate you?

Working as a team motivates me. It’s a cliché, but at Roessel Joy, you truly get out, whatever you put in and your hard work is not only recognized but rewarded. Relying on others can be a challenge at times but when you get great colleagues, like the ones at Roessel Joy, it makes the team function as smoothly as possible.

What is your favorite piece of career advice?

My best career advice would be to be patient. Success doesn’t happen overnight, and a seed needs to be planted, watered and nourished over time in order to bloom.

What is one thing we should know about you that we can’t find on LinkedIn?

I have a lot of hobbies. I love reading books, gardening, cooking things from scratch, yoga and music festivals.
