Joanna is an extremely talented employee. She always goes above and beyond what is required of her. Joanna always meets timelines (actually usually beats them) ensuring everything is done correctly and on time. She demonstrates great team work and she works with the recruiters as a partnership with a common goal of making the process successful for Hiring Managers and candidates.

I am proud to say Joanna and I worked together in the organizing committee of TEDx Waterloo and that Joanna did an amazing job of staying on top of, and engaging the community through twitter, facebook and other social technology means. Often I would be go to respond to a question, or announce something important and would find that not only had Joanna done it already but that she had done it almost immediately. A fantastically responsive, engaging, and exciting individual I believe her efforts had a wonderfully positive impact on the success of TEDx Waterloo. I have no doubt that Joanna would be a wonderful addition to any team whether in a corporate setting, or a community one and hope to have the opportunity of working with her again in the future.

I hired Joanna for a co-op placement through the University of Waterloo. She was hired to assist me (Manager, Employee Strategies) with Human Resources initiatives and programs. Examples would be researching of tri-city college and university recruiting (co-op and internship programs). She also researched advertising venues for recruitment purposes (as part of an attraction strategy). including on-line, non profit, professional websites and newspaper advertising.. She wrote summaries/documents of all her research. She developed a survey for on-line applicant tracking systems and assisted in research and documentation of the applicant tracking business case. She was reliable, and efficient, with solid communications skills and strong research capabilities.
