SuiteSpot Executive Search is thrilled to welcome Brenda Falls to the team as the firm’s new Legal Recruiting Manager.
Brenda graduated Magna Cum Laude from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor in Business Administration and a specialization in Finance, which is the direction she – and her professors – fully expected her career to follow. However, early in her career as a Financial Analyst at Owens Corning World Headquarters in Toledo, OH, she was offered a spot on the company’s college recruiting team and discovered an unexpected love for talent searching and networking.
It was the desire for creating people connections that altered her course. In 2006, Brenda was recruited to join Legal Resource Group as a Legal Executive Recruiter, and spent the next 11 years filling C-level positions for mid-sized and large law firms. She found not only her niche in senior legal administrative recruiting, but also an untapped gift and passion for professional matchmaking.
“I love to get to know people and hear their stories. I love helping people and I’m a problem solver. That’s what I love about recruiting; give me a problem to solve or a need that exists, and I won’t stop until it’s resolved.”
For Brenda, resolution at SuiteSpot means finding a perfect match for clients. Her keen attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and personable, honest, no-nonsense nature lend naturally to her lengthy track record of successful placements in some of the nation’s best and brightest law firms. Her greatest strength, however, is the ability to work well with people, a must-have in making successful and lasting candidate placements. Brenda’s successful placements span the C-suite of the legal industry and include Chiefs and Directors in the areas of Business Development, Marketing, Pricing, Technology, Finance, Operations and Business Intake for Am Law 100 and Am Law 200 firms.
Brenda’s addition is a bright spot for all on the SuiteSpot team. She is a positive, proactive doer who inspires others to rise to the occasion. Her knowledge of the industry and the talent within is that of someone who values the connections she makes, and not just because it makes her better at her job, but because she values them as professionals and also as human beings, all ideal traits for someone in this business.
Brenda also has a productive personal life, volunteering and supporting the musical and athletic interests of her teenage children. She is an active volunteer with the local Susan G. Komen chapter supporting breast cancer research and acts as the Sponsor Committee Chair for the Race for the Cure planning team. She also keeps her financial skills sharp while assisting a small local CPA firm. Rare moments of free time are spent spoiling her two Aussiedoodles, working out, and spending time in the great outdoors.
Welcome to the team, Brenda!
