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.

Background:
I am an expert who has helped global professional services firms and tech companies build high-performing teams.
Prior to becoming a career coach, I worked as an HR Business Analyst. I realized it wasn’t what I was passionate about, so transitioned to a more fulfilling career path.
