Looking For An HR Recruiter?
When you work with Forum Group HR Recruitment Partners, you work with me—Ruth Espina. I bring over 35 years of experience both in human resources and HR search. I spent the first decade of my career, boots on the ground, as an HR Business Partner inside fast-paced, high-growth companies like Macy's, Nine West, Kenneth Cole, and Starbucks. Driven by a passion for recruitment and HR excellence, I have been a senior HR Recruiter for the past 25+ years delivering successful searches from Chief People Officer, HR Business Partner, Compensation/Benefits/Rewards, Talent and Recruitment through Learning, Employee Relations, HRIS, HR Operations and everything in between. This deep knowledge and track record allows me the greatest level of understanding of your needs as you build out your internal HR organizations poised for high-impact business support.
I understand the unique challenges HR leaders face—because I've been one. That insight allows me to offer a more thoughtful and practical approach to search.
