When Brooke O'Dell joined Supplemental Staffing, she brought with her a wealth of experience from the retail and retail HR world. As the Staffing Manager approaching her third anniversary this April, Brooke has become a driving force in the company's mission to create meaningful connections between job seekers and the right opportunities.
Finding Purpose in People
What drew Brooke to recruiting is something that continues to motivate her every day:
"I got into recruiting because I enjoy connecting with different people and matching their skills to the right opportunities; it's rewarding to see both sides succeed."
This dual-sided satisfaction, helping both candidates find fulfilling work and clients build strong teams, is what makes the staffing industry special, and it's clear that Brooke has found her calling in making those connections happen.
A People-First Approach
When asked what she wants job seekers to know about working with Supplemental Staffing, Brooke's answer reflects the company's core philosophy:
"I'd want job seekers to know that we really care about finding the right fit for them, not just any job. We take the time to get to know their skills and goals, and we're there to support them through the whole process."
This commitment to understanding individual needs rather than simply filling positions quickly sets the tone for how Brooke approaches every candidate interaction!
Taking the Stress Out of Staffing
For those hesitant about using a staffing agency, whether they're job seekers or employers, Brooke has a simple message:
"We take the stress out of job searching or hiring by doing the legwork for you. Plus, we're here to make sure it's a good match on both sides, not just a quick placement."
It's this focus on quality matches over quick fixes that defines Supplemental Staffing's approach to the industry.
Breaking Down Barriers
Brooke is well aware of the misconceptions that surround the staffing industry. "I think the biggest misconception is that staffing jobs are all short-term or low-skill," she explains. "In reality, we work with a wide range of positions, from entry-level to professional roles, and many turn into full-time careers."
This diversity of opportunities means that whether someone is looking for a temporary position, a temp-to-hire arrangement, or a direct hire placement, Supplemental Staffing has pathways to help them succeed.
What Makes Supplemental Staffing Stand Out
In a competitive staffing landscape, Brooke sees clear differentiators:
"Supplemental Staffing stands out because we combine local expertise with a people-first approach. We focus on building long-term relationships, not just filling jobs, and we offer flexible solutions."
This local touch, combined with personalized service, creates a staffing experience that feels more like a partnership than a transaction.
Values That Resonate
When it comes to company values, Brooke finds deep alignment with Supplemental Staffing's culture:
"I really relate to values around integrity, teamwork, and putting people first. I like that Supplemental Staffing focuses on building strong relationships with both clients and candidates, being honest and transparent, and supporting people to succeed."
These aren't just words on a wall for Brooke; they're principles she lives out in her daily interactions with candidates and clients alike.
Creativity and Adventure Beyond Work
Outside the office, Brooke channels her energy into a fascinating array of creative pursuits. "In my free time, I love getting creative. I make candles, soaps, blankets, and wood-burned items," she shares. Whether she's crafting handmade goods, staying active through line dancing, or exploring new destinations, Brooke knows how to balance a demanding career with enriching hobbies.
Her love of travel adds another dimension to her life, providing fresh perspectives and experiences that she brings back to her work.
Staying Productive and Focused
Brooke's approach to productivity is both practical and effective:
"My go-to productivity tip is prioritizing tasks and time-blocking. I make a list of what's most important each day and tackle those first, which keeps me focused and ensures nothing falls through the cracks."
This disciplined yet flexible approach helps her manage the fast-paced demands of staffing while ensuring that both candidates and clients receive the attention they deserve.
A Commitment to Making Connections
Brooke O'Dell embodies the relationship-focused, people-first philosophy that makes Supplemental Staffing a trusted partner for both job seekers and employers. Her background in retail HR, combined with her genuine passion for connecting people with opportunities, makes her an invaluable asset to the team.
As Brooke puts it:
"Thanks for joining me for this spotlight! Whether you're job hunting or need help finding the right team members, Supplemental Staffing is here to make it happen."
