Mary Despe  Certified Diversity Sourcing Professional (CDSP)


With nearly 20 years as a recruiter, I’ve seen the hiring process from both the candidate & hiring manager sides of the table.


Hence, I’m able to bring a unique, ‘insider’s perspective to working professionals who come to me for guidance in advancing their careers.
